Hi
Just looking at a new forklift and considering either Hyster or Toyota in 2.5 tonne counterbalance diesel models with a 4.5 m mast for my production nursery in Queensland Australia.
Toyota is about AUD4,000 dearer. Both seem to have a good reputation so can anyone comment on whether the extra cost of Toyota is value for money?
Cheers
Nick
