MS-15S vs MS-20
Two sizes of the same frame. The difference that decides the order is usually aisle width or the weight of a full pallet — not the number on the plate.

Rows that differ are marked. Rows without a mark are identical on both builds.
Choose MS-15S when
Same capacity as MS-15, different body. Bought when a fleet wants a visual distinction between two duty areas, or when the operator prefers the shorter counterweight.
The building is the constraint: floor loading, door width, or a mezzanine that will not take the heavier chassis. MS-15S is also the cheaper unit, so a fleet that never loads to the plate should not pay for the frame it does not use.
MS-15S specificationChoose MS-20 when
Four-wheel, 2.0 t. The specification most cold stores and food plants settle on: enough capacity for a double-stacked pallet, small enough for a 3.5 m aisle.
The load is the constraint: pallets that arrive over-weight, attachments that shift the centre of gravity forward, or a mast tall enough that residual capacity falls away at height. Buying one size up is cheaper than a second handling step.
