You guys in the UK and USA really need to get over your xenophobia and anti-Chinese issues. Our experience is that Chinese forklifts , if spec'd correctly, are basically simple, rugged and reliable well priced options to the overpriced Japanese machines and the over-complex and horribly expensive to maintain Euro brands. Sure, they don't have all the clever electronics and plastic but that's actually their major benefit in a rental fleet. Hangcha in particular remind me of older generation Nissan Toyota and TCM where straightforward basic engineering did the job well.
