Cheers Thank you , what would be good is if people were to make predictions then look back and see how far out we all were. here what i think Uni carrier will take over two big manufactures, Sammons will take Over NACCO and Goldman Sachs and KKR will finally Sell KION to a different chinese company who will then become a top three world manufacture. Can see Linde pulling out of big trucks and only going up to 9,000 kg with in the next two years
