Hi all
I am trying to decide what truck to go for, i require 5 x 2.5ton trucks for a busy factory operating 24hrs a day(clean environment, good floors, some outside work) We will be leasing with a maintenance agreement. Do i go for simplicity or technology?

UK engineers:- what are the parts supply chains for the two brands like? which one would you expect to be more reliable? which one would be in better shape after 5yrs/10000hours?

The STILL looks technologically advanced but is its complexity an achilles heel in the long run?
On the other hand the TCM looks like a very basic simple but steady machine...

your thoughts please!
