English term or phrase: forklift replacements of PBXes remain a very tough sell

When we last examined the hosted communications arena, the business case for outsourcing the PBX was based on negative drivers: enterprise aversion to capital expenditure, excessive staffing, and fear of obsolescence. Certainly, those motives are stronger than ever. Hiring remains in deep freeze, more equipment nears the end of its lease or lifespan, and forklift replacements of PBXes remain a very tough sell.

"By inexplicably seizing Florida’s vote-counting process from that state’s people, courts, and legislature, the five Supremes stripped off their robes of judicial impartiality, abandoned their pretense of strict Constitutional conservatism, and turned to raw partisanship as the basis for forklifting their boy George, like the sack of rocks that he is, from the Texas governorship up to the White House"http://www.fairvote.org/op_eds/hightower0101.htm.

замена сетей при помощи погрузчиков

Explanation:
По большому счету, догадка. Но по-моему, речь идет о замене устаревших телекоммуникационных сетей (т.е. самой проводки, которая проложена по потолку помещений) при помощи погрузчиков. Forklift - это самоходный погрузчик или подъемник на электрическом ходу, особенно широко применяемый в производственных помещениях с высокими потолками.

Автор имеет в виду, что потенциальный клиент слишком \"упертый\" и не хочет вкладывать деньги в обновление оборудования. Поэтому убедить его согласиться на предлагаемый вариант проведения работ очень трудно (a very tough sell)
