Wow your place sounds great! We're forklifts only sadlyhow do you find Bendi trucks lol?
Also by combi do you mean combi lift trucks? Or another type I've not herd of?
Doosans are pretty poorly made in my opinion lol but very very easy to fix/fault diagnose! And in fairness the yanmar engines used by doosan are bulletproof! Infact I worked on a STILL RC40-30 yesterday that used the same yanmar engine as the doosans so they can't be that bad!
EDIT: you van look just like my old one haha
Yepp Combilift! After two years with this company I finally forced them to get a service manual for those damn things. For the longest I'd go on a call where the directional function where all outta whack, either stuck in one way or working *** backwards, and I'd just pull and check every relay and that usually got me going.
Bendi trucks are extremely uncommon, thank goodness. The few dealings I've had were all hydraulic cylinder related but I've got a suspicion they are unique to repair until you get used to their quirks.
We used to be the Daewoo dealer, but they were **** when it came to long term dependability, now they are called Doosan, and thankfully someone else sells them haha. Oh, and they always had a leak, you could rebuild front to back, and you'd still have one.
But talking about my shop, yes its good. I work at a family owned company, which sometimes has draw backs like when you wanna buy things its more closely looked at than at a large corporation. We have 3 branches spread out in 3 different cities, plus 2 satellite branches. 90 employees total, which is pretty small. At no other business have I ever been able to talk to the company president, and them not act like they are better than everyone. We even discussed why he likes his 911 Turbo so much, but how he hates the service costs haha!
Back on topic though, I have threw this in the back, gonna let it absorb most of my tools and turn my other box into a parts cabinet. Also, added two small cabinets and a shelf I'll have to snap pics of tomorrow. My nearly 4 year old son was helping so I didn't get finished but he had fun lol.

Combilifts and bendi's are really weird to work on:/ and doosans are ****, we usually refer to them as "leak in a week" trucks because even brand new ones leak lol
Your company sounds quite good! The company I work for is relatively small and tight nit, about 30 something employees and our director is the same, I was talking bikes with him last week for about an hour in works time lol and we also have a good reputation In our area.
Lol no kids for me yet (only 23) but I do have my eye on a new box on eBay
, also I thought I'd get some quick pics of my box just for fun lol
I hadn't tidied the box at all and some tools were out in use but it's a general idea, the spanner drawer is driving me crazy, my KRA had such big drawers they could be constantly organised but it's just not possible in this small box!

Hey I turn 25 in 7 days, so you aren't far behind me lol.
Here is an update, probably about 60%moved in at this point. Also considering making a flip top lid, and forklift accessible base/cage thingy. Id like for this to be easily removed and in the shop for when I do very large jobs. And handling all these sockets made me realize how many I cant even hardly read anymore.

Is it me or do the epic wheels look much better on the classic box's than the new ones?
You are very right !!
I think that looks good aswell. Funny thing is I make fun of them on all the newer boxes. I think it looks cheap and tacky. To me it makes it look like some cheap 2001 fast and furious pep boys junk

not sure if you opted for this, but TSC has the same thing (and the original Torin for about $200 more)
I "think" the Kubota model was $399.
food for thought.

No, I picked it up about a year ago on craigslist for $300. I've had every moving part on it replaced with new from snap-on.

I like that!! Looks like a stereo setup for a golf cart that I was looking at for mine. Wish I would of seen that before I just spent 100 bucks on a new radio for my box.

Here are mine absolutely full c man boxes and a cart that is also full. I plan on picking up a 72" montezuma later this year but these do for now.
If y'all want pics of the drawers let me know and I will take some.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up giving for that box?

Work box, had to go small because of space, thinking about a top box for it. It loaded, plus a full tool bag, and a road box.
Have a Mac box in my garage I'll post pics later

Got the craftsman 41" stainless top box on clearance locally and have gotten this far organizing. These are just all of my better quality and spare tools.
All of the sockets are either snap-on, circle H, or craftsman V, as well as the ratchets.
I've personally rebuilt, scuffed, and greased every ratchet in there.
I'll post up pics of all my boxes and the garage once I've completed final organizing.
Lastly, a photo to tease you all a little, every set of tools needs a purpose. Here's one of my tools main focuses....
86 buick regal t-type, bench seat, column shift. Intercooled turbo 3.8l v6.
