any operator that hated a linde's controls changed their tune after a week or so
it takes a lil getting used to but its the better system
most comment on how safe the linde feels

aside from that unfortunately LPG isnt an option for these as a diesel will be more efficient (hence little demand) and the new engines are tier 3 and very clean (they claim better than tier 3 performance as stated earlier)

i dont think many LP trucks of this size are gonna be able to go toe to toe with a linde diesel

for example
available in america that hyster kev mentions above is probably the H155
the next step up is only diesel (H170)
in LP the Hyster will come with a GM 4.3 liter Vortech
its rated for 103 HP @ 2400 rpm and torque is 225 ft/lbs @ 2400 rpm

the H80 Linde is rated for 116 HP @ 2200 rpm and 346 ft/lbs of torque @ 1600 rpm

thus making the lindes feel way more powerful (cause they are lol)

even the optional cummings 4.6L in the hyster is only rated at
78 HP @ 2050 rpm and 225 ft/lbs of torque @ 1300 rpm
still the linde looks better as far as power

i assume the need for LP is for easier fuel storage?
if that isnt an issue id go right back to the Linde

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.
