I never understood the mirrors being taken off.
They didn't care no matter how much we said they were a very important satey item.
I have a good friend whose leg was almost ripped in two because the mirror wasn't on them anymore.
I won't go into it. But he had a disability retirement at 58. It was bad.
They still didn't put the mirrors back on.

My Komatsu has sharper longer blades which aids in production.
High pants tells me you were in the top 3 of bills per hour when he ran the dock

Aren’t Crown the Cadillac of forklifts?
I AM allowed to say that! But I've never driven one. Of the ones I've driven- Toyota suited me best. And I've never been on a lift that had mirrors (or usable seatbelts)
We got new Hysters in 93 at Preston. Too much "free travel/drift" after releasing the brake before reacting for me. I found that dangerous in an LTL trailer where an inch could cause a freight avalanche and get someone hurt. I chose to drive an old 1970s Clark (by the way, Clark is now owned by Crown) that had no cage because it reacted well. When i got to Yellow, I found Toyota were the best, safest, and most comfortable I had ever been in.I like Hyster for comfort. They’re not practical for LTL freight. The Toyota’s and Komatsus are more agile and compact in design.
I miss pallet jacks and dragline carts.
We had one crazy guy at Yellow Indy that always raced his Toyota to the max. Well- several did, actually. He went into a turn on our wet dock, hit the old dragline track, slid on the wet concrete, and slid sideways into the terminal electrical fuse box. Knocked out power to the terminal. Actually welded part of the lift to the fuse box. I have no idea why it didn't kill him, but he walked away just shook up.I like Hyster for comfort. They’re not practical for LTL freight.

We had a guy drove like that. I told him one rainy night that I didn’t much care how he drove, I’d steer clear. But, if I had to explain to his wife & kids why he was badly hurt or worse, I wasn’t gonna lie.
I guess I'm the rookie after reading you guy's posts.
I've owned a 955 Cat, 450 J.Deere loader, and 2 backhoes but never had my butt on a forklift.

I have never owned or will I own a personal vehicle from a foreign mfg. I will say though without a doubt if I was a purchasing person for a company the only forklifts would be Toyota.
I have a friend that owns the Yale dealership in Charl.
He says Toyota is his biggest competition.
