    Most all are good these days but Toyota’s and nisssans are very reliable

    thanks for the message, what do you think about hyster and linde?

    Really have no experience with Linde. I hear they’re very good. Hyster is top notch. Hyster and Yale are the same truck

    Linde is a high end European truck, check for local support and probably more expensive parts. Hyster and Yale were somewhat different until about '04 when the Velocitor VX came out. Hyster, Yale and Toyota are top of line trucks. Nissan is a step down. CAT is really a rebranded Mitsubishi. If you can get a Hyster/Yale with a Mazda motor the engine parts will be very reasonable thru 3rd parties.

    grazie per la segnalazione e i preziosi suggerimenti, quale controllo del carrello elevatore usato quali parti sollecitate a rottura e usura? grazie, cosa dovrei controllare? in Italia, molti muletti OM e Lugli venivano usati per spostare mattoni nelle fornaci https://www.om-still.it/

    I would go with Hyster forklift . There are a lot of good brands out there, but the problem is that not all machines are suitable for all applications. Hyster is best for heavy lifting and the parts are easier to get. My recommendation would be to get in touch with used equipment specialist, someone that only sells used equipment. They often get good deals from lease company turn ins.

    my friend has a large metalworking workshop, he needs to unload the trucks from bars of profiled metal pipe beams a capacity of 5/6 tons, to move pieces of metal carpentry made in the factory, the work would be a little burdensome

    grazie per il tuo suggerimento, un mio amico ha avuto hyster degli anni 2000, ma nella mia zona hanno usato OM italiani per magazzini e LUGLI per le fornaci per spostare i mattoni https://www.om-still.it/ http://www.sycarr.it/it/home
