AND, give more thought to your product names for the North American market. It may be wrong- but if the name on the mast sounds Aisan, it's a turn off in our market. I always felt that if you would order a container of Chinese forklifts, have them painted a color that is popular for our culture, use flat bar, not angle iron on the load back rests, and "brand" them with a North American style name- you could charge a higher retail price, and quality would not be in question.
