from what i have been told Combi lift are doing very well with Aislemaster and improved sales by quite a way. I think this shows that a manufacture like Combi lift can come in and improve either a product or how it is put together. I can see more of the mainstream manufactures moving into niche product lines and improving certain area's. The problem is when dealing with a company who have a direct sales and service area they will want the business By what forkinlift say's many companies will stop offering these types of products if they don't have exclusivity on territory.
