"well you clearly don't understand how modular construction works or how it is used in service. But what a suprise as like i have always said. You dont realy know anything about anything."

been doing this for over 40yrs, there IS a reason it hasn't been done (probably many reasons).

as i've said previously, if your 'modular' design is such a good idea why haven't ANY of the big mfg's done it yet?
I'll tell you why, it is not profitable for any mfg to do this, that's why.
You know if there were ANY advantage to it they would have already done it.

Years ago i remember some people in the industry talking about this modular design but guess what, it never went anywhere because of cost. Hate to tell you this but even though consumers want their stuff repaired fast, they are NOT willing to give their first born to do it, they will wait if they have to. And another thing, in EVERY case a new innovation comes out it can be sold to the gullible consumer if the sales pitch is good enough but afterwards they soon realize the reality of their decision after they have too much down time and have to spend over their budgets to keep the thing running. THAT matters MOST to them. Let's take the 'hydrogen fuel cell' for one, why has it not taken off and become the top power supply for machines? The cost of the unit compared to standard power plants for machines? Specialized training (or the lack there of)? Overall Cost of repair (with extended wait times on parts)?
I could go on but i won't because i know you'll just go into your standard sales pitch again or start bashing hyster or some other mfg and frankly i'm not interested in listening/reading it again.
Like i've said before, until you have a working unit you can display to the public you're wasting your time here promoting the pipe dream it has become at this point.
Have a nice day :oP
