Discussion:
TCM or Hyster?

Hi, I want to buy a 3.5MT forklift with paper clamp attachments for our paper printing industry in the Philippines. I have offers from TCM (iNOMA FD35T3S), and Hyster (H3.5TX Yanmar 4TNE98). Clamp is Cascade brand. Can you help me choose? Can you advise which is preferred by the paper mill industry? Hope to get your feedbak soonest. Thanks.

Hyster grew up in the lumber & paper industry in the NW part of the US & has been a main supplier for decades.. TCM simply took pictures of what other folks did & tried to copy their successes.
