Linde N. America tried to enter the torque converter truck market (4 to 6 lb cushion & pneumatic ICE) in 2001 with an OEM private lable agreement with Komatsu Forklfit USA. The trucks were called the TQ series. This program died the death of a ragged doll. Most units went into the dealers rental fleet.
As I recall Linde & Komatsu were working on some sort of owner ship program at the corporate level but that fell apart at teh seams as well.
