There is no axe to grind. KION are now not the company they were four or five years ago and as for NACCO it was them that said they were looking to sell the forklift business no one else So if you don't want people talking about you don't say you are wanting to sell the business.


I was just making the point in the market if KION don't buy NACCO they will drop out of the top two forklift manufactures. This seems important to KION and to the people who work for them. Just because you point out the faults in a organisation that will effect a lot of people in this industry you have a axe to grind.

All the points i have raised are fair some people might not like them and thats OK and some might even agree


If you had a axe to grind you would aim this at people not companies you would say XYZ from so so company what people don't like is that they know the same but just don't want to admit to this


What this post was about was the new 10 ton Linde torque truck , but what it as shown is that there is no real direction in Linde in the big truck market, no support for a product launch, and this has reflected bad on KION as it has shown their faults in the open now if that me grinding the axe again then thats OK but for the people who work for KION this must be worrying as they don't seem to have any direction in the forklift market over 10 ton and this will also come down to the other markets in the iC range
