In another post about the difference in sales between Europe and America it came to light about the difference in how we trade so differently. American companies buy equipment and European companies rent (hire) equipment. Misterlift stated that independents started this montra years ago and the FLTA helped further it along. My question now is, if most companies hire equipment, did this practice put independent forklit service companies out of business? Are there any left, and if so are they prevelent or just a few?
