Hi guys,

I'm in the market for a piggy back forklift and wanted to get some feedback before buying.

First, anything I should really consider before buying that someone with no experience like me wouldn't think about?

The major players seem to be Princeton, Moffitt and Manitou. Am I missing any major players?

My biggest concern is value which means quality to me. I want something that is quality made and a workhorse and that won't need me to fix something every other day. I'd also like to purchase from a company that will be around in 5 years and that has a lot of parts around.

Thanks for any advice you can throw my way.
