i wonder what happened to the future of forklift discussion

I wonder why the future of forklift discussion has diapered,
may be it was because manufactures don't like to here what is true and Lithium iron batteries do catch fire

Exalt your math is a little off on the BYD post above. The LPG truck will use around 2.5kg per hour (assuming 2.5ton truck) but the cost is £0.50 (generally its more than this) for a litre, which needs multiplied by 1.98 to get 1 kg. So the running cost for a 2.5 ton LPG truck is typically around £2.50-£3.00 per hour.

The new Exalt V Zero Emission ammonia hybrid forklift will use a seven modular prince able to produce a revolutionary fully modular forklift that is 100% zero emission. The 10,000 kg forklift will be one of the lightest trucks on the market weighing only 13,360kg this would allow the 70kw engine and 30kwh battery pack to be one of the most fuel-efficient combinations in this class using only 4kg of ammonia per hour.

With load centers of 610mm a length with out forks of only 4,200mm a width of 2,450mm and a turning radius of only 3,940mm the truck will be one of the most drivable trucks on the market. The truck will also be one of the most productive 100% zero emission in the market with a refuel time of around 5 min and a range of 20 hours. It would be capable of lifting at 0.56 M/S and lowering at 0.5 M/S with a travel speed of 30 km/h the new truck will offer similar productivity levels as a diesel powered forklift with out the emissions

the running cost per hour for a 16 ton 600mm L/C truck per hour based on $,
an diesel truck would cost $12.6 per hour to run, an electric truck would cost $ 4.8 per hour to run , an Ammonia truck would cost $4.00 per hour to run , an hydrogen truck would cost $13.6 per hour to run. The electric truck uses lead acid batteries and have a range of only around 4.5 - 5 hours before battery needs changing and there performance is around 60% lower than a diesel truck. Both the Hydrogen and Ammonia Trucks would be 100% zero emission and have the same performance as diesel

Forget all of that, we are only 12 days away from April and the release of Exhault's "Super Truck" I for one, am starting to sweat it.

That saying (prayer) has been around for a long time, long time and can be applied to just about any position or situation you want to make it fit. Plus, it is not gender specific.

i know some times i get criticized on here but i was just wondering what people thought of this 2 x BYD lithium iron battery trucks. To replace 2 Gas trucks. Savings over £7000 per truck per year. ROI in just over 2 years post


this is the question i asked

From what you are saying, the BYD truck is 14,000 more than the lpg truck and a saving of 7,000 per year gives you a ROI of under two years.


The BYD truck will use around 7.4 kWh of electricity per hour. Based on an average price of 0.14 per KWh that's 1.03 per hour. The lpg truck should use around 3kg of gas per hour, based on a average price of 0.5 that's 1.5 per hour. So the difference is 0.47 per hour. So to save 7,000 per year you would have to work for 7,000 hours plus save around 3,000 on service per year

Sorry Johnr. Didn't mean it as an insult. I also go around on sales calls. But can't deny thank sales sometimes involves brownnosing to get the deal done. As the prayer of a salesman, "G/d, make sure the toes I step on today are not attached to the a** I have to kiss tomorrow".

Having been in sales & marketing for 41 years in the lift truck industry& hung up my spurs almost 12 years ago I am not at all offended by your comment.
But do want to know if you gave yourself that wall plaque featured in the picture under your screen name that is rotated 90 degrees too far left. Very interesting copy - maybe Joe "Willie" Namath helped you with the wording - hint: he had a book published that had a similar message.

Actually, was given a pair of these and they do work nicely for night driving and rainy days & Sundays - cuts down on the glare & every car windshield has a green mold tint to them.

Don't know how well they work for a colonoscopy view (aka the Nikon up the butt hole treatment) - there are some sharp edges. Just had one, no fun - my wife makes me wear Depends before going to bed - for a just in case moment. But the doc says all is good and it is OK to keep buying green bananas. When the doc says only buy a couple ripe bananas will I know I have an issue.

Somehow I think the release date will be April 1st, which seems appropriate.
