Hi stackhacker

Far from threatening the industry, the concept proposed is a development that still requires forklifts and most of the existing materials handling equipment available today.

It introduces both commercial and environmental benefits that enable the existing industry to be more sustainable and thus prosper.

If your concern is for the pallet manufacturing industry then yes there is a challenge posed. However, the system will provide commercial opportunities for the pallet rental market should they wish to adopt it.

My understanding of this forum is that there will be contributors who are keen to advance forklift technologies and develop new opportunities for the industry and thus my reason for posting my request on this site.
