Hi Sal S
My question to you is......what is it that you do at your facility?
How many hours a day do you plan on running each forklift? Do you have 1 shift, 2 or 3 shifts? Do you do your own mechanical work or will the forklift dealer do all repairs and PM services?

You picked three good trucks to choose from, they are all decent trucks. As for the parts pricing, Toyota is pretty hefty on the prices (cheaper on forklift but they need to make up the money somewhere) All parts for each of these should have good availability.

How many forklifts are in your fleet?
Have you discussed full maintenance leasing? Is that an option for you?
