The linde does have a hydrostatic transmission which is more for shuttle operations. Check out the parts avability and prices first.
Damage to the mast and carriage rollers, is still an issue not to mention product damage.
Finding a lift truck with a heavy drive train is a plus. I like the TCM which survives the demand of paper recycle operations where bulldozing is a every day event. Repairs when needed are easier and you don't get taken to the cleaners on parts.
Most operations handling freight will at some time push loads. Be prepared to make repairs as a lift truck is designed to "lift", not bulldoze.
