I agree with Swoop that; "i guess we need clarification",
but heck, it's on the internets, so I am just jump to conclusions anyway (?isn't that what we are supposed to do on the internets)?...
it is true in my experience that Crown TSP operators can break all kinds of stuff, and unless there was someone [with deep pockets, like Crown Inc.] standing behind it, and offering a definition of what "re-certified" means, then "re-certified" could well mean that the sales-person looked twice at the machine, 1 time to certify it was a Crown, and then looked a second time [re-certify] to be sure it was a TSP.
AND heck, even if it was the best Crown Tech on the planet doing the inspection, no one can know the future enough to be sure to catch every single possible 'future failure' (and that is one of the reasons the word and concept of "warranty" was invented, wasn't it? _NEW_ fork truck dealerships would be looking for a new 'revenue stream' if they didn't have warranty).
and Stam,
[?can I pick on your English language skills for a second? {says the guy who claims bi-lingual education taught him to be functionally illiterate in 2 languages} before I have my morning coffee, I need a "double negative alert" for;]
"I don't think main lift chains breaking on a tsp are uncommon". You are correct the lift chains breaking are not often enough to be called 'common', but surely are not called "rarely ever" by the Crown TSP techs either.
