Rocky, Thanks for letting me know where it came from.
I am not a "fan" of any particular brand of pallet jack, (or any other product) but I am a believer in "putting you money where your mouth is" and a "true believer" of also being careful not to "cast ye pearls before swine", and knowing that "the devil is in the details". I believe in trying to keep an open mind about what is the -best- tool for the job, no matter what name is on the tool.

I only wanted to find the fine points (the questions not being answered) in the advertising (A.K.A. propaganda) you are sharing with us.
Since I now know where you got the quote, it is now possible to put it in context.
I also miss understanding just how you feel that design and manufacture of 85% is a selling point that should explain and justify added expense to the end user? and I still don't know if that 85% is 85% of all part numbers, 85% weight of the truck, 85% of the time (man hours) used in design and manufacture, or just how the 85% is calculated.
and in General, the way I view my work and this industry, I work for customers, (end users) not a brand name.
