I understand what you are saying but what does Linde have to say about the practice. People use forklfits in ways that aren't recommended but when something happens that's when the Philadelphia laywyers have a field day. Maybe you have Warsaw lawyers that aren't so agressive as we have in the States. Most overseas companies that have operations in the US are afraid of & have a hard time understand our legal system especially in P/L matters (most of us in the US do to).

I recall an incidient that happened in Mexico City where a lift truck that our company sold to a dealer in Mexico who resold it to a well known company that was head quaretered in the US. The lift was driven with into an elevator the cables broke & gravity took over - the operator did not survive. Our distributor reported this accident, as we required, our P/L & legal council folks got really up tight and wanted all the info about this now so they could start preparing for an expected law suit. Our dealer in Mexico said don't worry nothing will happen & it never did.
