    It is sad to read your comment. JUNGHEINRICH is an important employer in my home town Norderstedt, but if you it is SCHEISSE, maybe it is. I don't know!

  • @StereoMike

    Was ist dein Auftrag?

    What is your assignment?

  • My problem with this is the electric steering concept. With hydraulic it is exactly 2.5 turns to achieve a full lock turn. Knowing that I am able to turn with complete precision to any angle. This new system would add a lot of guess work and whole lot of glancing at the steer wheels that you wouldn't have to do with the old system. Better to add all of the hydro functions to a single joystick like with some reach models and an asymmetrical steering wheel to combat repetitive strain injury.

  • Of course you're not, but anteeksi, mutta minä en puhu suomea.

    You're bashing a concept car. As if you already drove it...

    But concept cars are for finding solutions and testing them. So there's no use for a customer to bash it, cause it's likely it won't be sold in exactly that way.

  • I was calling them youngheinrichs on purpose. Also generally known names are henriksson, jynqvist and other stupid names. You even get a really bad backpain when driving them, the cab is shaped like an egg.

    And my spelling skills does not matter, i'm not a Brit, Yank or either an Aussie. Alles Klar, Herr Mike?

  • I guess your opinion is as reliable as your spelling skills.

  • Danke Schön; süpper

  • Those controls are full of sh*t! You cannot possibly lift or lower your load while turning. And Youngheinrichs are generally sh*t. They just wont work when it's under -5C. We need ones that work under -30C. (Hyster, Yale and Toyota have proven themselves)

    The whole hydrostatic concept is not working. Heavy auto brakes, auto revs, and poor reliability. And if the engine is shut down, you cannot tow them because the front axle is locked due to lack of hydraulic pressure.
