Hyster Maximal

Hyster will soon if not already start to use maximal products for their Utilev Brand so how will this effect Hangcha. Hangcha have been building Utilev forklifts for some time and would have access to the Hyster Yale dealer network so what is stopping them approaching dealers directly to offer spare parts for trucks already in the market and also offering the their own products.

Hyster has also said they will produce a hydrogen fuel cell reachstacker. will this be the same type of white elephant like the container handling sideloader of the 1970's. The cost of a hydrogen reachstacker or container handling forklift would be in the high end of the hundreds of thousands of dollars and the running cost would be something like 31 dollars per hour to run just on fuel with a multi million dollar refueling system needed as well. a diesel reachstacker would cost around half the cost of a hydrogen one and would cost around 16 dollars per hour to run.

An ammoina Hybrid reachstacker would be 100% zero emission and would cost around the same price as a diesel reachstacker and would cost around 5 dollars per hour to run and would not need a very expensive refueling system

You back Dave?? We were beginning to think you'd left the building. Yes Hyster made a loss but unlike you Dave they do have an actual product that they sell. Can I remind you Dave it is now Q2 (nearly Q3) of 2022 and were are still all waiting here with bated breath awaiting to public unveiling of your super truck which you promised last yes (and the year before that lol) come on Dave either put up or shut up

The amount of time you have spent on this truck, most companies would have released a model and been well on their way to an improved version.

By saying "the people who need to see it already have" you don't have to provide any actual proof that anyone has seen it. You are building a forklift, not the next stealth fighter jet. Your product is not a national, or even industry secret. Especially since you have been blabbing about it on forums for more than 6 years.

Your pure lack of proof this thing even exists, and on going trolling of this forum leads us all to believe one of 3 things:

#1 - It doesn't work the way you claim it does; and/or you cannot get proper regulatory approval to sell it. (Which is most likely why you only want to rent it in the UAE)

#2 - You can't get funding for it; and/or the people you have tried to sell it to really aren't interested.

#3 - YOU DON'T HAVE A TRUCK!

You will try and prove me wrong by making a bunch of vague statements that you cannot back up, again. In the end, you words are nothing more than that, just words. Time to put up or shut up.

Like I have said the people who need to see the truck have, Like the people who worked on the Carbon fibre main overhead guard structure or the people who have worked on the touch pad control system for the autonomous lifting and lowering system or the people who have worked on the reversing system or even the people who worked on the 100% zero emission ALG hybrid power pack. All these people have seen the truck because they needed to.


Yes I'm sure that the people who really matter the forklift operators and their bosses who pay the bills will like our truck. Why am I so sure. Well it answers a lot of their request that they need from a new type of modern materials handling equipment. Its Safe and easy to use, Its 100% zero emission, There is no loss of time for charging, the running cost are at least 50% lower than a diesel truck. There are no battery issues a lithium Iron battery working in these types of forklifts will only have around a three-year life span.

These are just a few reasons why we know that the truck will answer the question that todays customer want answering

@exhalt
You said " the people who need to see our truck have so thats answered that question"
I say and as the rest of the the world some answers are not readily accepted by others. Ya' gotta' listen to the audience. Maybe you accepted your own answer but only the key end users will say if you unit it is a good thing or not when they buy, rent , take delivery and use one or more in various operations for an extended periods of time. One robin never makes a spring time.- a flock of robins might, but Mother Nature sometimes can fool ya'.
Some time the inventor of a new "thing" that is supposed to be better than sliced bread talks a lot to & listens to their own navel(s).

Those that have seen it, should at Exalt's request, comment to this forum with appropriate confirmation that this is worth the wait.

the people who need to see our truck have so thats answered that question secondly what has a Exploding hydrogen station got to do with our project anyway.

what this post is about is Hyster Maximal, and in this post i said that hyster will have quite a big write down on their Hydrogen company Nuvera. This exploding hydrogen station won't help.

One thing it won't help is your non existent truck Exalt, you stated not very long ago that your truck would be reviled in April and posted a link to a very poor animated video. It's now June or at least it is in the U.K. and still no truck?? Is it all a figment of your imagination?? There is a saying in Yorkshire which you might know as you used to used to claim to be from here that the proof is in the pudding. Well exalt we've heard for years about this super product of yours but nobody seems to know anything about it let alone seen it so pal show us this wonder truck or please just fade away

Im sure the exploding Hydrogen station in Norway on monday will help the sales of Hysters hydrogen fuel cell big trucks.

A definite fact had one joint in my life and that was in 1967, senior year in college. It did nothing for me except make me cough a lot - smoked cigs then. But I think that fifth of 100 proof vodka I consumed before the joint had me mellowed out already. But enjoyed all the Cheech & Chong movies - plus the Pink Panther.
Every time I had to take a drug test for work I would always ask the nurse can this test detect usage back to '67?
