We were a Heli dealer when they first came out back in late 2001. They said we were the only dealer in town, we bought 24 stock units, about a year into it, we found that they set up another dealer who bought, you guessed it, 24 stock units.

The units were alright, they did not do well in a heavy duty applacation like brick yards, scrap yards, they just did not hold up, we always were having mast roller problems, steer axle problems. Transmissions were always going out.

The main problem we had was parts support, it was ugly at times, we would cross numbers over to TCM.

It is a cheap truck for someone who wants new and does not care about anything other then price and price only. Good truck to sell on line. Most people who bought from us, bought a Hyster or Toyota five years later. They learned the hard way about being cheap.
