OK...I know the basic regular attachments are necessary, ie Sideshifters, clamps, push/pulls, etc...I am talking about people trying to finagle their way into our industry with the stupid unsafe ideas for attachments. They approach the customers and convince them they need a product and it always comes back to the manufacture....Current example is a "forklift bumper". That is great, not only do customers need to worry about their drivers bashing into their products, we are going to add an attachment that will free their minds of worrying and they will bash more product than before!!!! idiots

paraphrased example- While also sending in comments from the customer...saying they liked the product.

"Can you get together with ______ and his group of Engineers to see if they approve or disapprove the attachment. He is asking us for our professional opinion. Their customer has asked them to use this, but our customer ___________ has some safety issues and wants our opinion. I am unfamiliar with this particular attachment.
Please advise"

more from customer/dealer:
"We are not under any obligation to use these and if for some reason your engineering department doesn't want to sign off on them, just let me know. If they have no issues with signing off on the installation of these attachments on our forklifts, please get me something in writing."

Guess what....we make forklifts....we are unfamiliar with the stupid attachment too...Want my professional opinion, It is an unsafe piece of crap!! And if you are under no obligation....don't try and add the stupid attachment!

Can you tell I needed to get something off my chest??

Anyone else want to vent??
