    Do you guys think this website is genuine or a scam? http://www.24x7epc.com Maybe its the crappy design, the gmail email address or the automatic 15% discount on orders over $500 that makes me feel overly cautious. Unfortunately it's the only site I can find online that stocks what I am looking for.

    Even if it is, I wouldn't fancy it. Given that they can't get the english on their home page right, I'd shudder at the thought of having to contact them re:delivery problem / wrong part etc...

    Thanks Darragh, unfortunately its not on autodata. Its an excavator. The Irish and UK suppliers can't even get their hands on one so I've been searching the net as a final resort.

    I dunno, a lot of industrial sites, and companies, don't think like the car companies, or Coca Cola, and are quite happy to have 'medium' sites. gmail address would facilitate non-domestic users.....

    If it's only a manual, and it's not too dear, why not buy a VVV disposable credit card (use once only number ) ? Nothing to lose, then.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    It is very interesting that those can boxes for Linde, Jungheinrich, Still forklifts are only avaible at this site and at forkliftsoftware dot com.

    I think this site is a clone of forkliftsoftware dot com

    These diagnostic tools are impossible to buy legally, and without these tools you cannot service forklifts. That means, this tools are very difficult to purchase.

    You can read an article about this site and other scam sites.
    http://www.forkliftaction.com/news/forklifts_news_international/Linde__PayPal__MasterCard__Tall_Emu__Forktruck_Wholesale_and_Hire_6816.aspx

    Besides there are some threads in the forum of forkliftaction about this "company"

    If you look for electronic parts catalogues and manuals look at this site autocd dot com

    They said to be ok.
