It will be working in the aisle (83" at the moment, but movable and I'm low on space so narrower would be better yet) and unloading. greatly prefer a stand up as I need to get in and out a lot. Ideal lift height would be 180" but I could live with 144". Cushion tire is fine as its all flat level concrete, but I may add a (mild slope 40+ft) ramp to a dock at some point, ideal lift capability would be 2800lbs to 5' (bridgeport milling machines) ,1400lbs all the way up, 24" load center, mostly standard pallets. Actual run time is only under an hour a day. I'm using a big joe pdi24-110 but the straddle legs are a problem, and I need more height and capacity for safety margin, and since I'm dreaming, a fork positioner. Simple is good, I can fix or make almost any part I would need except board level electronics repair so even something that needs work other than that would be OK. Must be something that does not require proprietary diagnostic equipment to repair...I'd even consider IC if there was a modern equivalent of the the old Namco 2020 (or a nice used one of those) even though they are a little light for what I need, if the price was right just getting rid of the straddle legs would be great.
thanks
