EP reviews

Dear friends,

I'm about to become a dealer for EP Forklifts & stackers in south east asian country. I need your reviews on EP products. What is EP's strength and weakness? Users and dealers please reply.

Thanks.

Yes, very shapely.......the girl, that is.
Freedom of speech and all that, but I do wonder if Admin will permit all this rubbish talk to endure, I mean after all....EP = paying advertiser on this site.
Then again, this type of background noise may just encourage EP to do better...............or not.

Cant help you on EP, never saw their machines. But the girl in their ad has nice legs...
like any other manufacturer starting out, it`s how they improve their product. Can you contact the manufacturer...will they work with you..can they supply the parts in a timely fashion..will they honor warranty. that`s what you need to know before selling their products.
A bad product today may be a hit in the future. When i worked on a poorly built Hyundai Pony in 1985, I would have never envisioned the great company that exists today.

EP is a good sideline machine for light duty work
from my experience working with them though they do not stand up well under high workload or extreme conditions.

You've been swooped!

Let's define what we call crap, junk, etc.

If you purchase a new lift & the brackets that secure the steering column to the cowl break, the toggle assy which secures the lpg tank on the lift strips out, the frame cracks under the integral hyd tank reservoir, the hood assy hinges break off, etc- I tend to think that anyone might have a tendency to call this type of equipment JUNK! I'm not sure where Tailift or World lift forklifts are made, but I can tell you that these are the types of repairs these units require (from low use, easy operations no less). My son's Chinese motorcycle has the exactly the same types of breakdowns- things you never saw break or even thought would break do- & often. And after you're done waiting forever for replacement parts & paying the exorbitant prices, you would think that the part would have been upgraded- but low & behold- it's the same CRAP that broke before- waiting to break again.

I slowly but surely replace broken parts with either custom made upgraded parts or sourced from another make unit when possible.
Price is always king when purchasing lifts til the ugly head of downtime raises his head, then the cheap price is quickly forgotten.

Customers love technology- until they have to pay to fix it!
I'm not denying most of those were crap but lansing bagnall???? I still look after a lot of frer 9.1 reachtrucks you won't find a chinese truck that old. Comparing a new chinese truck to 1970 to 1990 british crap won't work I'm comparing them to the likes of hyster linde crown etc to name a few. So stop spouting rubbish and wakeup and smell the roses chinese at the momment equals crap unreliable poorly made and poorly supported.
Ps landrover and jaguar are owned by tata there indian

So lifter01, that would be unreliable Chinese rubbish as opposed to unreliable British rubbish would it? I'm thinking Lansing Bagnall, Boss, Conveyancer, not to mention Jaguar, Landrover, leyland, Austin, Morris as other shining examples of British craftsmanship....
