Thanks for the replies folks.... please keep them coming...I have learned "alot" from the 1st three already...I like the idea of the soft ride solid tires, I will look into that! As far as an electric truck, there is a lack of power in the storage facility! We have other diesel equipment but I was concrned with the minimal use of the forklift, would the diesel be the right choice for this application!

Thanks again for the suggestions, it will really help in making the right decision,
