Well Craig, let me be more specific. Have you or anyone reading this post actually received a new Hyster Fortis or Yale Veracitor with a GM engine? Ordering them is one thing, receiving them is another. A Yale rep told me almost the EXACT same thing that you said about the Mazda's. He said that "Mazda has made great strides regarding H.P." He also said that the GM would not be available for the 4,000 to 7,000 lb. trucks. I am not at all emplying that that this is fact. I am just curious because as far as I know, no one has received one as of yet. Hyster has always had great success with the GM's in this capacity. The Mazda has not been an engine of choice when running ramps or in clamping applications. The 6,000 to 6,500 lb. Hyster XM's were considered to be under powered even with the upgraded Mazda 2.2L. The Mazda 2.0L was almost never sold in the 6,000 to 6,500 lb. XM due to the lack of power.
