One reason the mfgs of lift equipment try to keep repairof equipment in house is the lawsuit mentality of most operators. Someone gets hurt on a lift truck and files a lawsuit it is always the mfgr they go after because they have the deepest pockets. Sure they go after the last person who worked on it and then work their way up. I am not slamming lawyers or anything like that that but when you make something so easy an idiot can work on it , that is usually what works on it. You cannot hire an idiot cheap enough.
