Briggs wont aquire Barlow Handling,NACCO have made it clear they dont want there 2 products sold out of the same company, you just have to look at the Australian dealer ships that NACCO have done deals with granting yale dealerships to companies that already have hyster dealerships saying you either sell one or the other but not both,
Millreef you may think that italian crap is crap but I can tell you any Company who bought leased or hired it never had it broke down for more than 48 hrs usually sorted and up and running with in 24 and often fixed the same day. I cant say the same for our cat beast.
I dont think Impact should go a head the cat deal if there getting the same deal as briggs had they wont be happy.
