Yah, the fortis line is proving to be very strong.

We had a prototype S80FT BCS come through for demos, and WOW what a unit.
It has a multi-port LPG injected 4.3, and runs like a dream.

AND

Disc brakes!!
They'll have to change the linkage, because the brake is a little too touchy IMO

We've had to pull 1 duramatch tranny so far, but it was only for a case seam leak.

The operators love them big time, so Hyster has a deffinate winner.
