Linde do make really good hydrostatic IC counter balance machines, there well built, very easy to work on for us technicians & very rarely give any trouble during normal usage.

But now that Toyota are ( finally ) offering hydrostatic transmission option on the Tonero, I can see this really eating in to Linde's market share.

The Tonero offer's option of a torque convertor OR hydrostatic transmission when you spec the truck plus you have the SAS System of Active Stability safety system as standard.

I've seen customer's pick the cheapest option before when selecting a new fork truck, they soon learn from there mistake.
