I would tread very carefully dealing with Chinese manufacturers at the moment through experience I have found tech support and parts supply to be very hit and miss at best. Quality is still a long way behind the likes of Toyota Hyster/Yale Crown etc. Running gear on IC machines and electronics on electric and warehousing may be western/Japanese its the way they are put together that causes problems welds breaking on the OHG chassis failing etc and yes I have seen this on lots of occasions. Chinese warehousing equipment in particular I would avoid like the plaque. Im not saying that Chinese trucks wont catch up with the rest its just from experience they are still a long way behing the rest at the momment
