jungheinrich, they have excellent support, totally sealed everything, top of the live AC systems. Every dealer that sellers the trucks has a tech straight from germany to service the trucks. We have 2 at our dealer who are paid to live in the us and work on the trucks.

Crown all the way (right Mikey)
I'd stay away from the european built products $$$$$

unless it is a new mits which is moving to jungheinrich now that the raymond deal with mits is dead. Jungheinrich started out building the mits pallet jack and now are moving into the eop and reach trucks.

Cat and Mitsi are the same, but Jungheinrich is not even close when it comes to the reach truck.

Don't forget about parts availability.

Getting stuck waiting days/weeks, for some part to make it across the ocean and clear customs, can really affect your operation...

honestly all are good trucks. make the decision based on the local dealer support and what your budget is. Raymond is more expensive to fix when the warranty is up but has a great dealer in NC (carolina handling) Hyster is good, cat and mits are the same as junghienrich now so those units are alike mostly. Crown is the tank of the market built solid as a rock but dealer support is iffy in the factory owned stores. Yale and clark are strong options as well. I'd decide by budget, dealer support, and then whichever you personally like the feel of.

You need to add Crown to the mix... Crown has a good machine and their dealers are a lot easier to work with than some of the others.

I'd go with the Raymond, better dealer support in NC. Jungheinrich is still new in the US, and I'd worry about qualified techs being available

If you don't mind me asking....why do you prefer that one?
