Marengo you have got this right the manufactures Mistubshi has now got all the problems Unicarrier had trying to put together the Nissan TCM merger with the dealer network , Add to this the Cat and Misti dealer network and you have even bigger problems. There will be some type of consolidation in manufacturing and the use of the same parts effectively equalling the same trucks , so like you pointed out your biggest competitor now has the same trucks as you sell and at the moment there is not all lot of capital to be made is small forklifts most make their money on service offerings but your biggest competitor can now have access to the same spares as you forcing down prices. this might be seen as good for the customer but for how long as the end result will mean less competition as dealers either sell out merge or go out of business.
