I would suggest you look at the outright leader in that segment which is Raymond. They have more man up swing reach trucks or turret trucks, in service in NA than any other brand. Their dealers have more of this type of truck in their rental fleets than any other dealer network and they have more technicians trained in depth on their trucks. They also have a VR trainer that can be connected to the Raymond trucks Vehicle Management System to train an operator on how to safely operate the truck using an actual Raymond turret truck using the trucks controls but safely in a virtual environment. Raymond also has had the highest share of market in that segment for decades.
Go to or call your local Raymond dealer and ask to see their man up turret trucks or swing reach trucks as Raymond calls them. Also ask about the support they provide in terms of technicians, dollars worth of parts in inventory and the number of turret trucks in their rental fleet. Then compare it to the brand you already mentioned.
I have been in this industry for many years and can tell you that for a specialized truck like this you should go with the machine that has the best record of i=market acceptance and is backed up but the best dealer network that only focused on electric powered lift trucks and specialties in very narrow aisle equipment. That is Raymond.
