To: Forklift manufacturers

Any thoughts about doing REAL test..?

1. Every manufacturer will present one (two, three) forklifts (because there could be different engines within certain capacity range).
2. Operation cycle - agreed by everybody
3. Place - any trade show....
4. All trucks are new, prepared by manufacturers' teams

P.S. this test will not have much practical use, however it is very useful to shut up all these stupid ideas about incredible fuel efficiencies.

Anybody... from Mitsi, Nissan, Yale, Cat, Hyster, Toyota, Linde..?
Any comments on this?
