Hi all,

Have tried several brands, including German, Japanese, American and all, electric, internal combustion, cabin no cabin, etc. under different conditions, 24/7/365, heat above 56 degrees celsius in Mexicali , or Freezing under 30 degrees celsius in San Juanito Chihuahua, open air operations.

I mean all type of circumstances, above all brands Hyster is the best, rough, low cost, duramatch transmission, wet brakes, no maintenance suspension, no cost on brakes and never repaired a transmission with such equipment, units with more than 30,000 hours working.
VNA is alot better than Crown's, doesn't shake and provides all high tech needed, RFID, Telematics, auto guided, etc.
Toyota SAS has to be checked every 40 hours, changed at at least every 5,000 hours, to change forks or wheels you have to lift the truck or turn it sideways, Hyster doesn't need that, manual adjustment and all is done above the truck, no man under or lifting needed.

When you are working the worst that can happen is to stop what you are doing, down time is more costly than any forklift.

Linde Hydrostatic is no match for duramatch and wet brakes on Hyster, I have units everywhere, have worked in Europe, Asia and Latin America, where conditions are rough, no paved ways or flat surfaces, you name it, electric or ICE.

Price??? change it by life cycle cost, they save more fuel (up to 10% better than Toyota, CAT, Hyundai, Unicarrier and Linde) make your numbers, downtime comparing all my units on all brands and I go for Hyster, all range of units under the same brand, the others , do not have all range from manual forklift up to 50 T.

Regards to all, hope it helps
