I've looked closely at Linde and Crown trucks in the last 12 month here in the UK, although the Linde product is excellent, their fragmented dealer network set up, especially here in the UK is a bit of a joke, if you've got depot that cross their dealer boundaries, you aren't going to be bored watching the local NNC's squabble amongst themselves.

Crown, i like the Crown product, infact i like the way it is built, sure it ain't pretty, but it is strong, plenty of metal and as most fork truck driver don't give a monkeys about what they crash into, ergonomically the Linde's are ahead of the game though.
