hello Youngster,
as an operator i can recommend you the smv (konecranes) they really have the controls sorted out !
just a little short of legroom in the cab (but quite a capable and stable machine really.
they also have a surge tank build in the engine bay so its safe for a change over shift to check the radiator levels while the while engine is hot
as youre in the uk , i suggest you take the one with the wiper interval,as it,s really handy.
another brand to look at might be a hyster.
i hope this is of some help.
