In reply to cownd the big players in europe are Hyster, Linde and Toyota. Yale is deffinately a bit player and Kararit is spot on with his view that if Nacco does merge the 2 brands and renames as Yale this will devistate there sales over here
Yale has always been seen as a second rate player in this market and still is look around any large industrial area in the uk and count the number of Yale trucks then count the number of Hysters.
Merging the brands will have only one outcome in europe and that will be next to any new machines sold and bye bye Nacco
