A Sanderson-related question here. Some time ago I asked the question about what the "TC" stood for which was displayed on some of the Sanderson-built forklift trucks. As I understand it now, its for Torque Converter, meaning powershift. The machines without the TC are direct drive machines apparently. As I understand literally nothing about mechanics, are most forktrucks these days all powershift or are DD machines still required for some operations/industries?

A brochure on the Sanderson SB55 still eludes me! Must be one around somewhere...
