So I went to the 2008 Promat in Chicago for the first time this year. Saw some interesting displays. Like the big money display Toyota had at the entrance. I saw booths for all of the major players except one. Where was Crown? I think their current trucks are a joke and so far behind in technology as I have worked at a raymond dealer and currently a Jungheinrich dealer. But If crown was there, where were they? Linde had a huge display and I don't think they have a dealer around here anymore, maybe Wisconson. Best incident was at the raymond booth. I walked around collecting hats and min forklift models, I noticed raymond had some cool hats. I went over there and asked the saleswoman if I could a have a hat. She read my name tag and said of what does your dealer sell? I said Jungeheinrich to which she started laughing and sharply said NO!. What a Fing Botch. So I waited for her to start talking to potential customers and walked up and grabbed some hats while I made eye contact with her. Anyone else have any good or bad experiences at Promat?
