Linde have a hydrostatic drive in their big trucks up to 18 tonnes capacity. Nice, once you are used to it. Service costs are low as a consequence.
hello Youngster,
as an operator i can recommend you the smv (konecranes) they really have the controls sorted out !
just a little short of legroom in the cab (but quite a capable and stable machine really.
they also have a surge tank build in the engine bay so its safe for a change over shift to check the radiator levels while the while engine is hot
as youre in the uk , i suggest you take the one with the wiper interval,as it,s really handy.
another brand to look at might be a hyster.
i hope this is of some help.
Remember a Doosan is a Daewoo!

Yes,generally you are right. The Defence ministry always will chose the lowest price but the goods must correspond to the military specifications and they are extremely high compared to the civilian. They have only one requirement- The truck must work-any time,any weather,any.....

Remember the Defense Ministry or Departments of Defense award contract to the lowest bidder unless tehy have "inside" friends. Low price & good quality / reliability are not necessary compatible.
Definitely Doosan for lifting capacity 10 000 to 16 000 kg.They are designed for the defence industry and are very,very reliable.
I would have a linde they maybey awarked to work on but there built to last
Try Doosan.
They are pretty strong in heavy trucks.
And they have good prices
Last place I worked at was a steel mill, coil and bar stock and the buyer I replaced had a file cabinet full or past invoices for repairs. After looking at them for weeks it was a combination of abuse (30%) and the wrong truck for the application. Looked at what my industry was using and contacted Taylor and took a plant tour in Mississippi and was overwhelmed at the quality of the product and employees. Taylor was the right truck for our application and we bought
seven 36,000 pound trucks. It all depends on the application,ours was extreme and was killing our other 36,000 pound trucks who's name I won't say for the fact they are a good trucks for there application. Use your head and do your homework and NETWORK with the right people.
Thanks,
Ray

Kalmar would be my choice, excelent truck mechanicaly and from a drivers point of view.
my vote for a counterbalanced unit would be Linde or taylor...if extremely large taylor.
