Looks like Raymond isn't too happy about the use of Hydrogen at this time. There is no exitement with their lastest news release. If Ultra-capacitors keeps improving with equal battery weight and regeneration systems, you may never see mass numbers of Hydrogen powered forklifts. Here is Raymonds report on their tests from this weeks forkliftaction news;

"Raymond says refuelling the fuel cell forklift consumes a few minutes compared to the 20 minutes needed to remove and replace a battery from the same forklift model. However, the battery in electric forklifts contributes to the counterweight. Raymond says extra weight must be added to the fuel cell unit and the weight distributed within the fuel cell system so the centre of the gravity is the same as that of the battery. "

Raymond is also testing:
"Hydrogen consumption and frequency of refuelling,
Operation of the hydrogen infrastructure and refuelling,
Reliability, maintenance and repairability of the fuel cell systems, and Voltage delivered and how it compares with specifications for all the electrical components and options on a forklift.
Steve Medwin, Raymond's advanced research manager, says the forklift manufacturer will disclose further results of the research when they become available."
