FYI for everyone Shepard has been awarded the NY state contract for cutaways and are a contiguous state so they can be used for purchase with PENNDOT approval   Mark_mitchell Member Username: Mark_mitchell Post Number: 81 Registered: 08-2004 Posted on Thursday, August 11, 2011 - 12:12 pm:    We used to be a huge Ricon fan but a few years ago their products, parts availability and customer service has gotten terrible. Two years ago we switched over to Braun Millenium and we haven't looked back.   Dan_russell New member Username: Dan_russell Post Number: 59 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 11, 2011 - 07:01 am:    Mark, We had the Ricon K5510 and K2210. What a maintenance nightmare they were. We have changed to the Ricon S5510. This is the lift that we had in our 2004 Internationals and it worked well there. We have 25 of these now and we are not anticipating any major concerns.

Also, I also just finished specing a few cutaways and when it comes to the ricon lifts the only difference between the S2010 and the S5510 is the S5510 will extend down a few inches more.   Dennis Chronister New member Username: Dennis_chronister Post Number: 21 Registered: 03-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 - 04:52 pm:    We have 11 Ricons that have been headaches. Most of ours are the Millenium series Braun. Very good lift.   Mark Kutzer New member Username: Mark_kutzer Post Number: 13 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 - 04:50 pm:    We are specing out a couple new cutways. The 2008 we have, have Braun (Titan) lifts in them and they have been nothing but a headace since Day 1. The spec shows five different lifts available, Braun Millennium, Braun Centuty, Ricon S5510, Ricon S2010 and a Maxon WL7-1000. Any direction as to what has worked the best for anyone else would be very helpful. Thanks
