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.

For one do use my born name and have used the same handle from day one on the FAC site. Many posters do state in pref who the are are & where they've been in their profile. On the other hand I've noticed you have had 3 different names on FAC, all claiming the S O S (could mean same old song or other meaning ). You have said you have done something over and over and over but ya' ain't shown anything other the a video of an amateurish Lego type model

I don't think anyone has claimed to have designed and built a truck that I can remember of over the past 10 years plus that you have been making claims of on here apart from you that is!
In my 30 plus years in the industry I have never know a manufacturer state you can see a truck if you know where to look, if you had a finished product that is ready for market then you would want people to see it and promote it, I sense more BS and no one will believe anything you say until you show some hard evidence.

Same old same old, what have any of you ever designed. You are all nameless and just like to hide behind names on here.


Why don't any of you say who you are and what you have done.

We are progressing nicely thank you and have agreements in place that will lead to future orders of machines.

hmmm...
if they are on track and done etc etc
then wouldn't we see them on the market today?
even for that matter we should have seen them on the market years ago right?

so yeah, the echo chamber is real old now.
reminds me of some other things we are hearing that sound great till they get made and sold and then we find out it was all just very misleading or a flat out scam.

johnr_j is right, just rewind the tape and play the same old nonsense over again.

New website, new name, new crayon drawings, same results.

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!

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.
