every one is going to say the brand of forklift they know and or support is "the best".
What is "best" is a pretty tough to hit moving target. what is "best" today may ot be "best" next year.

I generally see suggestions to talk to someone in a like business for their recommendations.
In another thread I noted that a good forklift is one I never see, since I get to see them when they are broken.
What part of Florida are you in?
