I reject the across-the-board critisisms of Chinese forklifts trucks. There is some real junk out there, yes. But I am a marketing consultant to three forklift dealers, two of them offering Heli trucks. If you buy a Heli with a Japonses engine and the German steel uprights you have an excellent machine that requires much less unschedulled maintenance than other supposedly top of the line trucks. Value-for-money Heli is hard to beat.

Makes me think of the garbage people talked about Japonese cars fifty years ago.
Look at them now.
