Yale/Hyster is a very simple machine that have proven its self year after year. I have seen these unit in harsh environments such as pickle factory's to bouncing around in a delivery (Pepsi) truck in -30 degree conditions work flawlessly. Best advice is to ask your salesmen for a" Recommended Spare Parts List" these are known wear parts to stock and are common wear items. Take look at the Yale/Hyster and then compare the Raymond. The Yale/Hyster is a buy far a much better unit then the Raymond on cost of ownership and durability.
