Where Komatsu Is Strong

Japanese build quality and a name that buyers already trust
Useful if your site already runs other Komatsu machinery and you want one service relationship
Often available as clean, reasonably priced used units

Watch-outs With Komatsu

The used supply is smaller than for Toyota, so confirm parts availability for the model
Check the data plate and service history, because specifications vary between model years

Who Each Suits Best

Hyster suits heavy-duty yard, port and industrial handling where the truck works hard for long hours
Komatsu suits buyers who already use Komatsu machinery or who find a well-kept used unit at a fair price

Where Hyster Is Strong

Built with tough, high-intensity applications in mind
A broad range that extends to heavy-capacity trucks
Common in container and heavy-industry handling

Watch-outs With Hyster

Confirm that parts for the exact model are available in your state before you buy
Compare running cost as well as price, since heavier trucks burn more fuel
