We're considering on buying a new reach stacker for our port in South America. (Very hot and humid weather year round.)
We've narrowed the search to Taylor RT-9968, Linde C4531 TL/5, and a Kalmar DRF of similar specs.
I lean toward the Linde due to their reputation, but our company has a good long term relationship with Taylor, while other ports around here are getting Kalmars.
My main concern is maintenance costs and parts availability in the US (once there, getting them to S. America is no problem.) Please your suggestions or experience with any of these machines.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
