Late model Lindes are one of the most robust lift trucks on the market. I am only hesitant about recommending them because their proprietary software is so well engineered to prevent anyone other than an authorised dealer to do the simplest tasks that you are more or less handcuffed to the dealer, which in my mind breaches antitrust laws that were settled in the courts for automobiles, someone needs to do the same for lift trucks IMO... in the meantime I recommend toyotas because they can all be serviced by independents so long as they have proper training and the passwords/info which is circulating...
when i buy a machine i like having options on who to go to for service because if i don't, that dealer can then treat me however they like and that really bugs me. So get a really good feel for the local linde dealer and get testimonials from other clients before buying a linde, you may have a really good experience with it, or not. it depends on the people. i know a really good guy in the new york area...

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
