i am a salesman for Starke and Tailift out of Alberta Canada
Tailift and Starke have nothing to do with each other in the manufacturing of the machines
All Starke units are made by a company out of China called Goodsense anyone with financial backing can Brand Goodsence whatever they would like as Starke did.
Zhejiang Goodsense Forklift Co., Ltd


Make no mistake these are not the same machines by a long shot
Taiiifts are now since the acquisition by Toyota have 4 manufacturing plants
Taiifts Taiwan, China (Qingdao), and US (Houston).
