I actually think that if you wait about 3 weeks, your local Cat Lifttruck and/or Mitsubishi forklift dealers are going to be falling all over themselves with the desire to sell you one of their new offerings, and you may well find the cost of service to be considerably less (per man hour, and how long the warranty will be in effect, and for which components) than what the previous mentioned brands are.
You should be able to recognize we are all prejudiced toward those brands we are either tied into, or have the most knowledge of, which is not the same thing as knowing what is "best for your operation".
Any dealer that won't at the least provide a demo unit should not be considered.
