The Materials Handling market is about to change. With only around six or seven of the world's manufactures serving. With in the next 10 years most warehouse will be completely different Companies like KION of China DAMATIC or TOYOTA of Japan VANDERLANDE will dominate the warehouse business with hole turnkey products. Pallet trucks, reach trucks VNA truck will all be replaced with automated equipment.
Counter balance forklift sales will also decline and be replaced with complete handling systems that will be able to move products around a facility with out the need of an operator. Out side the facility there will also be big changes Both Diesel and electric forklifts will be replaced with 100% zero emission products that will have much longer ranges then electric forklifts and will be able to handle loads up to 72,000kg while being 100% zero emission. Companies Like Hyster who have backed Hydrogen to the tune of up to $260 million investment will see this disappear as hydrogen forklifts wont be able to compete with the new technologies that will offer lower cost's ,no need for high pressure systems ,be less explosive and more cost effective than hydrogen.

Dang, I feel so outclassed with only 22 years in the industry.
Hi, The range is MiMA Forktrucks.We have literature on rack model in their range. We are Wilmat Ltd and manufactured customised trucks to solve handling problems. We manufacture press tool loading trucks up to 15 tons caps but the MiMA range we can offer up to 30tons capacity Wilmat have never produced a reach truck so we can now offer a range lifting to 11 metres.
Please look at Wilmat and MiMA websites.
great to hear someone contributing to the material handling business and sticking with it as long as you.
curious, what brand is your newly china built machine?
do you have any literature introducing it into the market?
tradeshow material?
Interesting. I started as a Rep in the industry in1959. I sold a wide range of equipment but it included probably some of the first TCM trucks into the UK. I started in business entirely on my own in 1966 selling a range of equipment which I manufactured plus a few Balcancars. I am still working and we are at present introducing a range of quality electric trucks from China (MiMA) in addition to the range of trucks that we manufacture in the UK. So 61 years and still love it. I like to play as well!
For what it is worth - started in '67 right out of college w/ A-C, hung up my "lift truck" spurs in 2007. Enjoyed my journey of 41 years.
Here is a heads up for your futures "Old age ain't for sissies." but you will join a new social network community when you go stand in line at your local pharmacy.
Ciao! & Pura Vida! (life is good if you are in Costa Rica)
i started back in '77 so whats that? 44?
but whos counting... i quit counting them up a while ago.
Now i'm counting down to retirement ;o)
Not sure when that's gonna be now considering :o/
I beat you by 3 years mate
OK , i lied But i do own a hat and a few cows, and this my 36 year in the industry.
As a proud owner of a hat and a few cows I gave serious thought to coming up with a lift powered by cow F-ar-s. Seems like in california the state wants to regulate the naturally produced natural gas so i thought put gas collection packs on the cows, have the farmers pay for it and make my investors very happy. But after spending my investors money on research , i concluded the carbon dioxide produced by the cows does not offset the natural gas produced to provide zero emissions needed to make my claim viable. Btw Jan 4th marked my 36th year in the industry. The lift truck industry not the cow F-ar-s industry
Guess the saga of an zero emission, ammonia eating world beating forklift & it's promoter/inventor backed by wealthy investors went the way of Aesop and his Aesop Fables and Grimms' Fairy Tales by Aesop. In short "all talk no stalk" or as they say in Texas "All Hat and No Cattle"

Well Q4 2020 came and went and still no truck or even an announcement??
Think Dave's realised that nobody believes a word he says anymore?? Not that most of us did anyway??
Give him a break, it's only been just over 10 years since he first started making claims about his wonder truck, you can't rush these things you know!!
Well Dave Q4 2020 has been and gone but then Q2 2019 (your other reveal date) came and went too. Will you finally admit that this project exists only in your head Dave??
Merry Christmas to you partsguy5 I'm just keeping this going to see if Dave might accidently give a straight answer lol. I might call round to his house to see if he will give a straight answer face to face lol
