Wasn't intending to be cutthroat. One must always believe his product to be the best. I guess I haven't seen many newer cat or mitsi lifts. Can't say they aren't in the area. I have seen application tell the real story on lift trucks' and it still maazes me how they perform differently for different customers, but all fail quickly without proper care. One of my customers newest lifts are 1999 models, still used three shifts per day. They have been well maintained and still are. I don't generally bash any product to the customer unless I do know serious issues with a particular brand or model. I've been doing lift trucks for about 20 years. Quality service at a reasonable price will win out in the end.
