"...Not only does that mislead the end user it's flat out embarrassing..."
100% agree
"...forklift manufacturers FINALLY using "...unbiased..." 3rd parties..."
???
if you pay this "unbiased" party for test and you (only) chose the rules for test (drivers, equipment, conditions for equipment, sources for equipment, specs for equipment etc.), you will get whatever result you want.. this is the point... and it comes to the same validity of results as shown by " independent counterbalanced development centers". This is just a new "official" cover for the same old manufacturer's games, which is "...flat out embarrassing..." too.
This is ONLY to be used to report flooding, spam, advertising and problematic (harassing, abusive or crude) posts.
