This occured when Crown Technicians where on-site. So at least they believe me now :-)

With an external-computer connected to the forklift, the technician was able to figure out what was going wrong:

The controlling device that sends the data about the steering-wheel direction to the driving-wheels sends out spikes of wrong data. E.g. my steering wheel is at an angle of -90° but the controller tells my driving wheels it's at a -40° position. That's the reason my forklift busted out some crazy moves :p

We're getting a new forklift, 4200-series, because the technician didn't trust the 3200-series anymore (this happened to me on a replacement machine as well)

Atm I can't tell you exactly what's going wrong, but as soon as the technician knows more (he's having a meeting about this issue with the German main office) he'll mail me. And I'll make sure to post it for future reference.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
