Hello

Sorry to interfere, while I operate in Europe, my experiences may be different, but according to my knowledge, you may have problems in US with such trucks.

Actually, the highest available capacity one Linde E trucks is 5 Tonner (388 series). There are some "leakages", that Linde works on 6 tonner (mayby 388, or new range) but this is a future.

388 trucks are available in Europe since 07-2011. According to the feedback I have - they are pretty cool, but still they bear some childhood diseases. You should wait, say, half a year, maybe a year, before these trucks get the "defect free" Linde standard.

As far as I know Linde in PA/US offers 388 trucks, but I am not sure about the delivery times and service support.
Just ask them.

In Europe the technicians are still under intensive training.
The parts availability, as usual with new product, is visibly worse than for estabilished ranges.

The amount of the trucks on the market is small, so probably - this is the reason of no feedback from our US collegues.
Simply no experience.
