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.

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.

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.

"The main manufactures all design from the same idea of how a forklift should be designed. What we have done has been not to conform to this old way of design,"


You differ in another way from the main manufacturers. They have products ON THE MARKET that they are selling and making money on. When they introduce a new idea, they develop, produce, and sell it. YOU haven't done any of those things. Maybe that's another way you "think differently"

Just like busting his chops. When your almost 77 not a lot of fun things to at 3:30 AM and learning quickly old age ain't for sissies - your body is like a high hour forklift with 10K hours or more -it needs a lot more maintenance, minor repairs/adjustments and a major overall every now and then to keep functioning BUT your service department LUVS ya'. Thank goodness for Medicare and every day I put my feet on the floor and move (not so fast any more)
