My family owns and operates a Yale dealer in N.Y.C. and we see just about anything that goes on in the forklift world. We have been a Yale dealer for 15yr's (before that we were a tcm dealer for 15yr's) And so far this has been there best product in along time. We really having had any major problems. No tranny trouble at all , no mast trouble or axle problems. This is really a good truck.

The Yale & Hyster truck are the same truck just different paint and labels. We havn't had many problems with them. We have gone threw some mini levers and fwd & rvs levers. Those two items were fixed as of last year. They went threw a few vendor changes to correct these problems.

As for the G.M. head issue - G.M. motors don't hold up once you hook an attachment to it. We have always had an overheating problem. Thats why we don't sell many of them. Right know im having a big problem with the cam shafts and the valve seats on the head. They did fix that problem though. When you do get a new head there are better seats in them. I've done 8 so far and im on my 9th one.

The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
