Discussion:
Can any Company now be a manufacture

Seeing the success of companies like SAMUK can any company now be a manufacture. Companies like Tailift will let other companies sell there truck with their own company name on the truck , so how far away are we from any size dealer selling their own trucks.


If you look at the new manitou Mi range over 5 ton they look very much like a Tailift.So will we soon see some companies selling their own brand of forklift to the own customers and leaving some major Brands behind.


SAMUK look like part of maximal now but will Maximal sell you trucks to sell as your own , and how many more manufactures will do this

Branding a truck does not make that company a manufacture. At that point they are just a distributor or representative.

You are wrong, Tailift do not make any trucks for Manitou, Manitou's range of IC and electric industrial machines are made by Hangcha.
