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 guess that means there is no future for hydrogen filled, non polluting zeppelins?
No triumprider, there was NO forklift in the videos (no surprise).
The hindenburg go up in flames or was it special effects? OK folks Heeeeeeeeeesssssss Baaaaaack.
Thanks for the interst, Hyster might not be on you tube but they are curtanly trying to convince anyone will will listen to their idea of a hydrogen fuel cell reach Stacker that now looks doomed because who will pay for something that is 130% higher cost when there are much better and safer option available.
all the noisy pointless rambling aside...
where is it? aren't we way past due?
Hyster isn't currently on YouTube trying to convince everyone their idea will work.
With many Companies now looking to produce Hydrogen IC engines, Cummins, Toyota JCB all have either built or plan to build an Hydrogen IC engine. whare will this leave the hyster fuel cell program. Hyster via their company Nuvera have invested heavly in the fuel cell business to the tune of a couple of hundred million dollars. That now looks like this might have to be writen off if you add write off for the over payment of the maximal this might lead to over $250 million write down on Hyster Yale.
Now i know all you suporters of Hyster are going to say i'm just trolling Hyster and yes i can understand your point because you all work for either Hyster or a Hyster dealer so this is not good news for you. But just look at the facts a IC engine running on Hydrogen is a round 0ne third of the cost of a Hydrogen fuel cell so some companies might choose this way.
again i don't think even an IC hydrogen engine will be a very good idea because of a couple of reasons. One being they still need hydrogen tanks at 350Bar for storing the fuel. Two they have to greatly lower the compersion ratio meaning a 4.7L 120Kw engine running on hydrogen would only be 80Kw, Three Hydrogen is very explosive and even a small leak can cuase major issues, as Hydrogen leaks are very hard to detect and hydrogen burns without a flame
So what's happened to the super zero emission truck then??
Where did you get September? I thought for sure it would be April....again.
I highly doubt it, this has been going on for over 10 years so about time he turned it in really!
September 2021 is the new release date. Will it be met?
please: do not rattle his cage more than you have to.
Been in the industry 30 years, think I may need to be in it another 30 before we see Dave's wonder truck though!!
Agree with you totally sport 05
It's so great to see that there are still quite a few of us that started as youngsters in the industry! I started selling for Clark in 1974 and have worked in sales and sales management at the dealer level and also worked for OEM's at a mid and senior management levels. I am still working! I remember many years ago when I was a "newbie" salesman, attending my first national sales meeting, one of the top Clark National Account Salesman told me "kid (yes he did call me kid!) you are going to find that you either love this business or hate it. If you love it you will see a lot of interesting things and learn how quite a few things are made. You will also meet a lot of nice and some not so nice people and you will make a decent living." He continued "if you hate it don't kid yourself, get the **** out"! He was right! I guess I loved it as I'm still working in the industry or maybe I'm just a ****!
