Discussion:
the End of Materials Handling as it is known today

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.

Exalt leading the way to a zero emission future
Showing items 451 - 465 of 530 results.
No our project is still on target for the fourth quarter, Our investors understand where we are and how we have got here. They also understand our technology and the benefits this will bring. Like I have said before when the markets starts to pick back up again in late 2021 or mid 2022 we will be in a good position as the market would have changed from where it is today to a sustainable market. Meaning Sustainable products that offer 100% zero emission with out lack of performance and are cost effective will be the best position.


For diesel trucks the market looks like it will be more competitive, companies will launch their own brand that will be manufactured in China at lower cost than traditional OEM's

Does this mean that your 4th quarter launch of your "snake oil" (aka a cure all) truck will be delayed too? So far you and/or your investors have no profit or ROI from this long term project.
There was a song from Peter Pan that might be fitting "When You Wish Upon A Star".

What we have said is that global business will suffer from this pandemic hears what Kone Cranes have said in their profit warning.

Konecranes has issued a profit warning for 2020 due to demand outlook uncertainties resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.


The company said that many of its customers are limiting access to their premises, disabling the company from completing the installation of new equipment and performing service operations.

Konecranes added that its own operations were also impacted by the significant and increasing worldwide measures to contain the pandemic.


We don't make threats like you seem to want to point out, what we do Is just say what's going on. This seems to be backed up by kone Cranes and many other OEM's that are listed companies will have to do the same when they issue profit warnings

We will still be around, and your truck WON'T affect us, or anyone else for that matter.

No Not really because we see the evidence every day, But what I will say is how are the OEM'S and dealers going to compete with the big three Chinese companies Heli Hangcha & in big truck and container handling Sany. These companies will flood the markets with cheep Diesel trucks. $10,000 lower than a 3 ton truck, $40,000 lower than a 12 to truck $70,000 lower than a Reach stacker.

What we have and will launch for when the market returns is an 100% zero emission hybrid truck that offer all the benefits of electric truck with out battery charging and battery charging infrastructure, these trucks have better range than diesel with no emissions.

Companies in this industry now depending on where you are, are seeing their turnover drop from 50% - 100% when their overheads are staying the same. This will go on for months.

An Average service company with say 12 employees will need at least $125,000 in CASH just to survive.

Longer than you, because you ain't even started!
I have got to give you 10/10 for perseverance though, 10 years on here giving it the big one about your truck and you still have no proof or evidence that it even exists, must be frustrating for you!

Well if you don't work for one of these companies Toyota,KION,Mistubishi Logisnext, Junghhienrich,Kalmar, Kone Cranes , Sany Helli or Hangcha,or are a dealer for companies other than these you probably won't be around by the time we launch at the end of the year so our truck won't really effect you.
As we don't have all the associated cost and overheads that OEM'S and dealers have with no real income how long will they last.

Since all is quiet on the BS front I imagine Exalt is working up a module for his forklift that will cure the Coronavirus simply by driving it around. If he didn't have the truck equipped for that already.

Yeah did a quick Google search and found articles going back to 2009 saying they are coming out with this truck. Back then it was under the Shaw Material Group.
11 years later and no proof of product.
Every time I need a good chuckle I come read this thread.

Reminds me of the title of one of the Four Tops hit songs from 1965 "It's The Same Old Song." Was almost 21 then and living on the South side of Motown then. But the big differences is that & still like to listen to Motown songs and for our friends from Britain the Beatles stuff too.

nice chrisk
that is his site too apparently
domain registration and the supporting group etali seem to lead back to him (Mr David C.)
so yeah another website registered on oct 2018 with the same promotional content. The site design is a lot like his video in many ways. Interesting to see what you can find if you just take the time to look :o)
There is a crude spec page "The V range" on that website with general truck specifications but no photos, only 2 models listed, nothing specifically identifiable.

The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
