Hi all,

I am shopping for a new forklift - considering Doosan, Toyota, CAT, Mitsubishi, Crown, Yale, Clark... maybe a couple others, that's all I can remember.

Anyhow, rather than start a new post, I figured this has been asked before. Looking for advice, brand recommendations (found a post from 2010 that Clark is THE WAY to go)... etc.

I have two 5,000 pound machines in house right now, and they've been workhorses. One is an Allis Chalmers, the other is a Kalmar AC. Looking to (probably) replace the Kalmar AC.

So, if anyone can point me in the right direction (or maybe this WILL start the discussion of the top 3 forklifts in 2019)... that'd be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
