Hey,

we are now searching for a used forklifter, around 2,5-3t, diesel and not with really small tires. We are in a dillema to buy a used Linde or Hyster forklift, we are looking at 3-6year old ones and with 1000-4000 working hours... what is your opinion, who is better, and if something breaks who is easier and cheaper to repair. Thanks.

As for now we were really dissapointed with a STILL R70-30, we owned it for a couple of years now and had only trouble with it, we speend so much money on the repairs that we could almoust buy a new one. Every part is so expensive, just one example, the small hydraulic pump was 1.400 eur at the local STILL service. Not to mention that the service in our country is really bad, they really dont know the forklifter, if something is wrong,they just want to change all the parts or the best to change the whole engine... i couldnt imagine the price of that :) So my advice dont buy STILL, we never will again.

To tell something good also, we also own a steinbock or boss forklifter and they are really good. It runs with almoust no trouble for 15years at our sawmill.

With best regards,

Nejc
