towmotor - that is the reason SMH bought out the after-market parts competitors (including our parts division).



SMH is in business to make $$ and their strategic planning that played out over the years in my opinion was brilliant.

The same small independent forklift companies today complaining about SMH, are the same companies that refused to look at other parts sources when they had the chance.
