Let's see them.

No the trucks are on track, the Reach Stacker and Empty Container Handling Forklifts are done.

The ammonia engine is done and is 100% zero emission

No shortage of BS, saying that we have not heard any of it of late, must have finally realised that the super truck is never going to happen!

Can anyone guide me with the best trucking management software?

Maybe there is a shortage of ammonia and/or the price per pint of ammonia went too high and this long in development project had to be tabled as it no longer economically practical and maybe all the investors have pulled out and have moved their investment funds over to Elon Musk projects. Or Dave is having secrete meetings at our Prez Joe Biden's Delaware house, in the basement of course, on weekends - to he'p the US get to zero emission mo' faster.

Anybody seen any evidence of the super zero emission tuck yet or has it died a death?

Whatever happened to Bagdad Bob? Did he end up in the material handling industry?

Hello there! Hope you are doing good :)

"The main manufactures all design from the same idea of how a forklift should be designed. What we have done has been not to conform to this old way of design,"


You differ in another way from the main manufacturers. They have products ON THE MARKET that they are selling and making money on. When they introduce a new idea, they develop, produce, and sell it. YOU haven't done any of those things. Maybe that's another way you "think differently"

Just like busting his chops. When your almost 77 not a lot of fun things to at 3:30 AM and learning quickly old age ain't for sissies - your body is like a high hour forklift with 10K hours or more -it needs a lot more maintenance, minor repairs/adjustments and a major overall every now and then to keep functioning BUT your service department LUVS ya'. Thank goodness for Medicare and every day I put my feet on the floor and move (not so fast any more)

Just ignore this dude, i do not know how this person even exists except in peoples heads, free of charge i might add. I can say this much, my garage is not airtight so i do not have any problems with crazy thoughts from lack of oxygen. Think maybe his parents basement is lacking in proper airflow.

Are JCB wasting their time too Dave?? ------Admin-----------

Dave Dave Dave. You keep spouting the same thing over and over again but show nothing. We are all for innovation in the MHE industry but as others have said modular has been looked in to by bigger fish than you.
Replacing a module isn't just a matter of undoing a few bolts slotting the module in place and putting the bolts back in and for a single truck user how are you going to lift the new module in and out?? Bring a second truck to lift it?? Not cost effective then is it??.
The best way to shut us all up is to actually do what you keep promising show your super machine we might support you then.

From here it looks like Dave's real goal is to get his name into the Guinness Book of Records for having spear headed the longest running thread on FAC based on fiction. Probably would be disqualified as he has had three different FAC screen names that I'm aware of and has had multiple address locations from the UAE to the UK etc. Feel certain he would be investigated by both Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Clouseau as to his credibility.

The main manufactures all design from the same idea of how a forklift should be designed. What we have done has been not to conform to this old way of design,

Truely modular design allows for lower manufacturing cost faster manufacturing time and eas of shipping.


There are many examples of how old indutry companies have thought they know everthing. yet others have came a long changed how the equipment is designed and powered then moved on to produce a much better product than the existing manufactures

"well you clearly don't understand how modular construction works or how it is used in service. But what a suprise as like i have always said. You dont realy know anything about anything."

been doing this for over 40yrs, there IS a reason it hasn't been done (probably many reasons).

as i've said previously, if your 'modular' design is such a good idea why haven't ANY of the big mfg's done it yet?
I'll tell you why, it is not profitable for any mfg to do this, that's why.
You know if there were ANY advantage to it they would have already done it.

Years ago i remember some people in the industry talking about this modular design but guess what, it never went anywhere because of cost. Hate to tell you this but even though consumers want their stuff repaired fast, they are NOT willing to give their first born to do it, they will wait if they have to. And another thing, in EVERY case a new innovation comes out it can be sold to the gullible consumer if the sales pitch is good enough but afterwards they soon realize the reality of their decision after they have too much down time and have to spend over their budgets to keep the thing running. THAT matters MOST to them. Let's take the 'hydrogen fuel cell' for one, why has it not taken off and become the top power supply for machines? The cost of the unit compared to standard power plants for machines? Specialized training (or the lack there of)? Overall Cost of repair (with extended wait times on parts)?
I could go on but i won't because i know you'll just go into your standard sales pitch again or start bashing hyster or some other mfg and frankly i'm not interested in listening/reading it again.
Like i've said before, until you have a working unit you can display to the public you're wasting your time here promoting the pipe dream it has become at this point.
Have a nice day :oP

Simple question - where is your modular truck that eats ammonia for zero emissions being tested or rented or just a Lego made version on display in a video - Over the last few years you have offered on empty "kisses & promises" dates of a" Show & Tell" but "POOF" those dates came and went Kinda' like that famous fairy tale "Snow White" when Snow White sang a song and had a phrase that went something like this. "some day my prince will come." Stop dreaming about your fantasy and quit improving the design on your "Etch-a-Sketch" or doodling on a piece of paper and rearranging the Lego blocks to make a better mouse trap.
Sorry but you credibility is so low you have reach up to touch bottom - Your Own Doing.

That's All Folks!

well you clearly don't understand how modular construction works or how it is used in service. But what a suprise as like i have always said. You dont realy know anything about anything.


If you understood it you would not have put a post like he one you have. As for customers thats their choice do they want to have to wait sometimes up to days or weeks , or do they want the machine back in service within one hour of the the service technition ariving.


i know what option i would choice, but then again you guys know everthing and we are completly wrong no one will exchange a unit. You guys were proberbly saying 20 years ago no one with exchange lead acid batteries

:D nicely put ChrisK

The modular concept is a selling point to the customer only. The thought is the manufacturer would just replace a module and get the customer back into running condition as quickly as possible. It just doesn't work that way.

Here is the reality:

#1.....NO module is self contained. Each one would be connected to another, or multiples. This would often lead to more work needing to be done to swap a module than a single component.

#2.....Modules will be larger, heavier and harder to handle than single components. This will require larger and special equipment to service. Something the tech would have to bring, rent, or the customer would need to have available.

#3.....Stocking and shipping larger modules is far more expensive to the manufacturer than components. Large modules on large machines would be to heavy for the likes of UPS or FedEx, requiring truck freight and extended delivery times and cost.

#4.....Dealers are less likely to stock service modules than components. Meaning modules would have to be shipped direct from the factory.

#5.....The cost of having a pump go bad requiring a module to be shipped, replaced, the bad one shipped back, and reconditioned and restocked would GREATLY exceed the cost of simply replacing the pump itself.

But, I'm sure this has all been figured out and the solution will be available on the 6th Sunday of the 13th month of a future year yet to be named. Don't worry, the non-investing investors who need to see this operation are already privy to it. You know it's true, because I typed it on the internet.
