Hello friends
We are in the market for a lift truck right now and I am looking for some professional opinions!

We are looking for a 4000-5000 lb capacity lift truck, with a minimum of triple mast and side shift.

What would be nice is a quad mast with 240" reach.

In a perfect world we would like to purchase: triple mast with rotating forks and the ability to widen/close forks to tip pallets and boxes.

I would appreciate some advice as to a good manufacturer and even a model type that would be of great value to us. We are looking at early to mid 2000 models of linde, hyster, and cat.

The environment is indoors, very little outdoor use so will require LP and wheels to make it through snow when need be.

Thanks!!
