We used Rightline Equipment out of Oregon because they have the best visibility which to me is more important than the cost.
FYI-Cascade offers several different models at different price points.

Bolzoni is now owned by Hyster/Yale. Some of the new trucks are coming with these installed from the factory. We have not had any problems with the fork positioners so far.
