Hi john

yes basically this is true all trucks do seem to be very close on the paramitors of size. On fuel consumption Linde have claimed to have done a test at 16 ton that shows the 1401 hydrostatic truck use 25 percent lower fuel than competitors due to the hydroststic be interesting if they done the same with this truck. i would gauss it would come mid to the bottom of the table with the weight.

So again it will all come down to price and customer preference. at the moment there is no trucks on the market that have the Sir Nellive foot print and low fuel economy to match.


We have done a lot of research in this field from 6 ton up wards and have found that basically all trucks are the same within a small margin. and know truck has yet come out that can say they are the clear bench mark in any of this range
