Ausa forklifts or dumpers, exp of?

[difflock]

Has anyone used?

Considering buying one of their rough terrain forklifts with a bucket as well as forks to do double duty as both a mostly forklift and a kinda limited dumper.

Or would we be better with an Avant type machine?

Ideally sub 2500/2600kg for transport, lifting 1300 or 1400kg would suffice.

Cheers

Hi!, I owned two ausa dumpers ( same drive train as fork truck) the gearboxes on both machines knackered! Ausa anted £1700 per gearbox! FINISHED UP SCRAPPING THEM!

I would never buy an ausa again ! hope that helps
