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.

I am very sorry if i offended anybody with my last post that was removed. I find it hard to figure out why. I have a couple of aussie buddies that i would say are not thin skinned. Skin about 2 inches thick and like concrete.
By corporate edict we were ordered to destroy that unit QJ - 37 ***and all associated drawings. Some patents remained.. That unit along with other equipment operated all 5 days of our live with music and song exhibition in Detroit from 9 AM to 5 PM. We wowed the crowd with pretty lades and song of Petula Clark -" Down Town" and live demonstrations of 3 pieces of equipment - two made it into production.
*** stood for Quantum Jump 3rd design and 7 = a Lucky Nomber.
Seem to recall these FAC screen names - Exalt - when Dave was in the UAE, then took on a handle of Exalteze when he relocated to the UK and then a this current handle of Letaq60n in another town in the UK. and of course just plane old Dave.. There may have been one I missed - but that is the 4 I do recall.
Dave I already have your address not hard to find at all so will just be calling round to see the proof. As for the names it's not 2 it's at least 4 because everytime you dissolve a company and start up yet another one it's a new name yet again?? I don't know it may be 5 did you ever have shawloader as a user name before you took that company down the toilet??
Absolutely not like I stated they were in a cost reduction mode, even though they continue to develop new technologies - eg - CNG systems for ICE units, battery powered USPS postal delivery trucks, sold state element motor controller for battery powered - called ACtronic, produced their own drive motors, etc.. AC as a total corporation was much larger than a 250 million dollar//year material handling division - like a 1 billion/year back in the 70s.
But that trip down memory lane has little to do about the project you have been taunting about over the past several years but never had produced a complete working in the iron prototype model - just kisses and promises.. You latest report suggest some of the modules are complete but not all.. Seem to recall you had a model you and your company were ready to show a couple years ago but that didn't happen either.
Ok then John do you think that if cooperate had approved the capital expenditure Allis - Chalmer might of survived, showing that investment in innovative new products and ideas is the key to survival in corporations
nice piece Johnr_j
i remember when that tech came out with the regen capability in the hydraulics.
And gee whizz, there's even a real picture of a real forklift with a real live man inside it.
(chuckles) :oD
In the spring of 1976 I was one of a Product Management team lead by my direct boss, the late Thomas J Finlayson,, that brought this product, QJ-37 shown on page 66 of the attachment to market at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan along with a VNA piece of equipment called the Go-For. The Go- For actually went into production. Corporate would not approve the capital expenditure to go into production for the QJ-37- we had a conditional order for 25 units from United Air Lines at the exhibit in Detroit. At this point in life of Allis-Chalmer Corporation was starting the death of a rag doll - their story ended in 1984/85

Oh when I read your garble about this "mystery" zero emission world beater - it reminds me and many of the other posters of that song from Walt Disney - "When I Wish Upon A Star"
You have my email drop me a email and meet up
Now just to clear up the name point, two of them I got looked out of the account, can't remember for the other change but I have always been the same
Dave Dave Dave I thought you had left us but see your back again. Still living in Halifax are you?? Well something for you if your truck does exist then you will have at least a photo of it (not some photoshop crap though) I live about 9 miles from you so give me a time and a date an I'll pop round for a cuppa and you can show me them. I will then put a post on here saying yes the truck exists and everybody will leave you alone, do I expect an invite?? No but I might just pop round anyway Dave you never know
For info for others it's 4 names I know of he's used he used to be called Dave on here
Why do you comment then, personally I don't really care what your opinion is , it's mine that counts to me.
You like to comment not me
@ Letaq60n
Guess you don't get it - not many folks give a hoot what you are posting - you earned that reputation all by your self.. It is mid October now suggest you make your final preparations to hibernate and take a long winters nap - this would be more productive 4 ya'.
Yeah, we know you don't have one to show.
Like I said we will show our truck in our time table no one else as
I will call your bluff.
My name is Chris K (the name I use here)
I have been a designer for Landoll for 23 years now. We manufacturer the Bendi and Drexel lifts, every model I have had my hands on at one point in time, most of them more than once.
You can Google Landoll and find our website. You can see photos and videos of a real truck, not a cartoon. You can call one of our dealers and order one. We will build and deliver an actual truck.
Everything I said above I have already stated more than once in this trash thread.
Now, I did what you asked. No more dodging, no more BS, no more lies. Show us your truck or shut up.
No what I was saying is companies will show their products when it fits in with them just like we will.
at least they have something to show for it don't they?
just because they didn't show it in the specific truck they first advertised it for, they still produced it and are showing it in a different truck. it does exist now doesn't it. and they aren't the first ones, cat had introduced that HFC years ago but it never got off the ground good due to the expense of it, the maintenance program that supports it was so costly it flopped about as fast as it came into being, only large corporations put those in their fleets for the most part. The average mom n pop business could never be able to afford one and still can't.
but i digress...
it seems your deflection tactic has steered off topic now hasn't it?
and we get back to the same ole vicious circle of you avoiding showing proof of this miracle whip truck you supposedly have.
until you can provide solid evidence this thing exists (and i don't mean you saying it does as proof) this whole rehash of the same old debate is pointless and a waste of internet space.
Yes thats a top pic forklift not the Reach Stacker for Valencia. To say this the Reach Stacker might be in Valencia we don't know and probably don't need to know.
One interesting point on the forklift is the range is only 8 to 10 hours with 15 min refuelling time. With the high costs associated to hydrogen people might say they are better of with battery electric.
We believe the best option is a IC engine hybrid, but to be zero emission it needs a zero carbon fuel. Ammonia offers the best option on this
Dude reread what I stated. Did not state you used your "handle" on multiple sites. I stated you have used 3 different "handles" on FAC ( Forklift Action..Com) that I am aware of. Some people alson refer to you as Dave so maybe it is 4 different names.
And today in the News....Hyster has confirmed testing of a top-pick container handler powered by hydrogen fuel cells (HFC) at Fenix Marine Services in the Port of Los Angeles.
