In my neck of the woods the octane forklift is a bad word. I'm not bad mouthing it but I have a lot of customers that have low our octanes parked in the corner of their warehouse because they cannot obtain parts or service support. As a matter fact I have one octane parked at my shop that has less than 500 hours with a bad transmission. The customer cannot fix it because he cannot get parts. Never mind the fact he is willing to overlook the lack of warrantee octane provided and pay for the repairs with money out of his own pocket,but he can't even get a call back from octane for parts.
