MCM RTL40 Rough Terrain ForkliftI purchased my RTL40 in June 2023. It's now over 2500hrs so we've worked it hard. It always delivers. Some minor issues here and there, but MCM team takes care of it fast. Just bought another machine from them the RS25 Forklift. I recommend MCM if you need a forklift.
