Maybe it just might be a choice of words preferences. In the 41 years spent in the lift truck industry and reading product brochures never once did I read that any lift truck make had components that were less than heavy duty or robust or high quality or designed for long service life or had steel that was 2 or 3 ranks above the competitors (Japanese like to use that term in product comparison - never understood what a rank was even after I asked a MHI engineer), etc.

Of course, in the US we don't really speak English- English - I call it Americanese. e.g. we call over the road trucks 18 wheelers in England they are called lorries.
