It really comes down to how you use the equipment you are provided with more than anything else! I also work on a daily basis with forklifts and noticed that some are nastier than the rest of them! If you want my advice after all the different models I've used is that buying from the right person that has in mind your well-being as well as saving your money and time, makes a big difference. So if you rest your case and realize that lawsuits won't win you a thing, and you still need a good and safe forklift, just go and buy another one.
