I've mostly used Toshiba and Sumitomo. Our electric machines are smaller, 60 to 250 ton. I prefer the controllers on the Toshiba (V50), they're much more intuitive. We had one machine with some sort of error on the loadcell that we haven't had the budget for Toshiba to come out and repair yet, but all other repairs, especially our older hydraulic Toshibas, they've been quick to help over the phone. Any specific questions?
