Tied to BT? Yes and No. We bought a Crown ESR 5000 with cold store cab - the machine is actually made in Germany. Operators never did give it a chance although it's well made and a great machine reliability wise. I guess they are SOOOO used to the BT's and VERY reluctant to change. Linde is not very common in our area, I'm not aware of a dealer nearby? The other problem we have is getting a demo that's configured closely to what our machines are. Dealers say "What are we going to do with this thing if you don't like it"?
Anyway thanks for the reply.
