The forklifts you drive are whatever head office gets at a deal. Nothing to do with performance or quality. People way at the top make backroom purchases based on friendship, or straight bribes. Toyota is king of dumping trucks at cost, then providing free maintenance at a subsidized rate. Raymond is owned by Toyota, so you get both at one location. As a manager, you have no control over what is sent to you. You will probably only see Ray-Toy combo at your location. I worked for Raymond dealer in Ontario and know how they operate. Crown is also doing the same thing as they sealed up all Walmart distribution centers. Crown is pushing hard and still exists in many warehouses I go to. Now Caterpillar is on a big push in DC's in Canada. They have Jungheinrich as well. I have one big tire warehouse with all makes. It's interesting to see how different models hold up after many years. From what I see, toughest orderpickers are Yale OSO30. Easy to fix, rarely break down. Raymond orderpickers are all toast, rattle you to death and fail often. Crown OPC holding out very well too. Clark is rare to see. Hyster a bit more.
After many repairs on all makes, I find toyota parts way overpriced. Cat-Jungheinrich is also way way too much!
Since you're in Canada at a large DC, all you will ever see is Red dumped there at cost price.
