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.

So Dave is this finally an admission that your ammonia powered super truck doesn't really exist??
An adage I recall from my early lift truck days in the 70s. Some people will lie a little, others will cheat a little but they will always be sincere about it. Heard that from a bloke named Ernie Wehr -of a Clark, Allis Chalmers, Mitsubishi,Toyota etc. etc fame and beyond..
Not really active right now-just tied up with other things-but I noticed people from Letaq are being mentioned under the name Ammotto. It's important to clarify that everything being shown, including the engine, originates from Letaq Power Systems, which began as Letaq Exalt and later evolved into Letaq NH3 Power Systems-it's all fundamentally Letaq.
I believe if you see ammonia IC engine forklifts , they will come out of China but the market will be small
Seems to be a person of few words these days. Used to be a snifter of ammonia and quiet a ratchet jaw that never showed a working prototype to show off his claims and talent other that Lego model. That my 6 yo old grand son could make when he was three and drinking out of a red solo cup and listening to the song of the same name. Have a pic of that but don't know how to get it on this FAC site.
PS: My cell phone is not my social network - I like face to face best or hearing a a live voice on the Smarter Than Me phone - I'll never change. Heck I'm 8 decades now. & forgot to put my teeth in when I went for a hair cut. Pura Vida and Ciao.
Back on track. Me Thinks should have hook up with Elon Musk - Might have been a a billionare or two. Guess "some days one is a diamond the other days just an ole chunk of coal. That's a folks
Where is your super truck?
Looks like that rascal of many names has developed that old tried but almost true evasive submarine tactic of "run silent, run deep" and ran out of ammonia..
My best guess it is somewhere on the sandy side of Utopia where the Knights Templar buried it. One will need Peter Pan to be the guide to take you to the right X..
PS @ Fishmech;
Did you notice that his FAC handle has has change over the years Exalt, Exhalteze and I believe there was a 3rd one when he took a Magic Carpet Ride * -* a great song in the68/69 time period - just out of college and started a 41.5 year career)moved - back on track now -- from the UAE first leg and the second leg by a Lorry**. two GB two diff cities/town in GB - it is/was Letaq60n'W. Yorkshire, United Kingdom.. ** A Lorry is known as an 18 wheeler in the US colonies.
But the Bloke has been quite or just asleep for several years
Exalt,
Reading the prior responses from other experienced material handling experts, I would guess you're having difficulties. Many others and I on this site have accumulated years of experience working, selling or building lifts. During my 45 years many advancements have been made in the material handling sector. Fuel, electrical, hydraulic, transmissions, batteries and attachments have all made excellent improvements for handling the variety of products that are shipped worldwide. Many warehouses are almost automated. With pallet conveyors to robotic lifts that stack and move products. I hope you have the success that you boast about. Unfortunately, ammonia has been used in engines for some time with little or no success. Low- and high-end demand of an engine falls off when using this fuel. The additive of gas, diesel or kerosene is required. The extra tanks and systems needed for this makes it non-viable. Good Luck
Where is your product that you seem to be so proud of?
@swoop223
Sounds like a broken vinyl record playing a 1965 Motown hit by the 4 Tops - It's The Same old Song (could legally have a beer or screwdriver or more that year.)

Nobody asked that question Dave we asked where is your super truck, you posted on here Dave that it would be revealed q3 2020. Well Dave it's now q4 2024 so your 4 years late.
Either show it or please just go away
Where is your super truck ?
Me Thinks he is that Troll under the bridge. in Three Billy Goats Bluff..
Sounds like a genset. A far cry from the super modular world conquering super truck that was going to be announced the 4th quarter of 2020.
Just think all those times we said you didn't have a truck, times in which you replied (and still do) that we don't know anything about you and your company.
deja vu...
groundhog day...
...
he is persistent isn't he? LUL
We are in the process of building a couple of what we call cells, these are ammonia hybrid systems that will fit into electric counter balance forklifts They will plug just like a battery pack to power the truck. They will be exchangeable for service or if a fault arises on the cell.
Dave, where is your super truck? inquiring minds would like to know.
OK then where is your super truck
