Hi Mike
I don't think you will.
Most lift truck suppliers will analyse business potential from proposed customers and make their offering accordingly.
It would normally be based on all elements of the business relationship, equipment, finance, parts, service etc.
Each element is looked at as a separate cost/profit centre so discussions and proposals with you the customer is essential.
It's interesting you see lift trucks as a commodity, of course they are not, it's a technical piece of equipment which has to tailored and specified to suit your business as does any support package that goes with it.
I would suggest you build a tender and go to the market and then fine tune your requirement.
There will be someone out there that will offer you a solution that will fit the bill.
Regards
Dave

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.
