I totally agree with Luigi. It seems that the TS9972 is one of the best reach stacker available at the moment, by a very reasonable price...
Taylor still has an agreement with CVS, but only for some special models. The TS9972 is designed and manufactured by Taylor here in the states.
Competitors design their machine for 600,000 minimum and 750,000 maximum duty cycles.
This Taylor TS series stacker will outperform and outlast, at a very comparable or better price...
I am actually going over to there factory in a couple of weeks time. I know that they manufacture forklifts , but have only recently started manunufacturing Reach Stackers as far as I know they used to have an agreement with CVS Ferrari to rebrand and sell there Reach Stackers in the USA
Yes they are manufactured in USA. Go to www dot taylorbigred dot com.
Taylor have been around as specialist industrial truck manufacturers since the 1950's. While sales here in Australia are limited they do have a reputation as being well built and well designed units.
