Anybody know anything about the Hoist brand forklifts?
I'm seriously considering ordering a Hoist FR60/80. The manufacturer's sales rep has already met with me twice and even brought a machine by my place to try out. Everything seemed ok with the lift I tried out.
They are basically a Versa-lift clone. About the same price (a little cheaper) but the big thing is the wait time. Hoist is running 8-12 weeks from order to delivery and Versa-lift is running a year out.
It's just a lot of money to shell out and I haven't found much info on them, mainly because they are fairly new with the FR series. Of course, the people that are selling them used say they are the best lifts on earth and the people selling Versa-lifts say they are junk. I'm looking for a unbiased opinion but I'm not coming up with much.
