What to buy? Used hyster/kalmar vs new viper

maxnbubs ยท 2015-01-14 15:02

Looking for some feedback. We have a container facility and need a new forklift. Our yard manager has recommends some used hyster and kalmars in the $50-$80k range. Like the H250HD and XL and the DC-127 I came across a new VIPER FD115 on ebay for approx $110k. But I've never heard of the brand and the feedback I've gotten is that they arent as common and not built in the states. Anyone have experience with them and can comment? Are they reliable? Prone to breaking down? Etc... I've also looked at some new cobras in the $130k range, but thats a little out of budget. Any input on cobras? Thanks.
