How to read this comparison

  • A highlighted value means that model leads on that specification, and only where a higher or lower figure is objectively better. Capacity and lift height are marked; wheelbase and tyre size are not, because neither direction is universally better.
  • A value is only marked when every model in the comparison published that figure. We never mark a leader against missing data.
  • We do not name an overall winner. Which machine is right depends on your aisles, your shift pattern and your energy prices, which no specification table knows.
  • Capacity figures are only comparable at the same load centre. Check the load centre row before comparing capacities directly.

Which one is cheaper to run?

The specification table cannot answer that on its own. Put your own hours and energy prices into these.
