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
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
