Lifter,
The top 10 reflects sales volume by dollars and not quality, I'm clear on that. I am not saying that a Chinese forklift is better or could be better than a Hyster or Linde etc.
I'm not comparing Goodsense or any Chinese brand to Linde etc.
My question is if these units are of an acceptable quality to provide a years of reliable service. Referring back to the Top 10 manufacturers, there is or must be an awesome amount of repeat business from their customers on some of the Chinese brands in order to climb the rankings because I believe no matter which country they sell to, if they are build poor quality, their market share will slip downwards..not move up, Thanks for your view. They do have older technology, no frills designs, I am not looking for the most advanced forklift, just a reliable unit. I agree that parts availability is a concern.
