[@johnmacharia4154]

Hey am John from Kenya, i like to watch your videos and the you explain i feel like am in class.

[@naufalahmadrifai857]

greeting from indonesian's forklift mechanic, thanks for the knowledge!

[@theforkliftguy]

My pleasure!

[@GlobalTradeInternationalBD-y9m]

First of all, thank you very much, you are something special today You have shown the work

[@theforkliftguy]

Thank you!

[@estebanhernandez3264]

I've never heard of this tool thanks for showing it. This looks like a great tool to collect live data and error codes from a variety of trucks all packaged in one. im definitely going to look into buying one of these.

[@theforkliftguy]

Just keep in mind it’s not all the same for every forklift. Some makes and models have more information then others. It all depends on what you work on the most. As of right now, it’s worked great for hysters/Yale

[@estebanhernandez3264]

@@theforkliftguy yeah im going to research it some more. I mainly work on crown, toyota, cat/nissan/mitsubishi, and yale/hyster. hopefully youll have some more videos working with it on those lifts.

[@theforkliftguy]

@@estebanhernandez3264 for sure! Every time I use it I’ll make a video.

[@gtolex86]

I love your content brother 👍🏻 Keep it up and god bless

[@theforkliftguy]

Thanks, you too!

[@steelcrusher]

Cool video 👍👍 is there any type of software for 7FBCU55 or 45 electric style Toyota forklifts that I can connect with like this Jaltest kit?

[@theforkliftguy]

No, unfortunately no. You have to use the display menu

[@steelcrusher]

@@theforkliftguy I’ve seen codes on the display screen but where can I look these up if possible?

[@theforkliftguy]

@@steelcrusher you would need the service manual or Google the code. That’s what I do

[@Daniel-np8zo]

Have you used this on the new mitsubishi trucks?

[@theforkliftguy]

Not yet. I'll be using here pretty soon on a few new Hyundais. As soon as I run into a newer Mitsubishi, I'll make sure I make a video for you.

[@Daniel-np8zo]

@@theforkliftguy awesome! Yeah heard they don't have a obd2 port anymore and can't access through the dash anymore... (nissan unicarriers went that route as well. smh...) Definitely keep us posted on the hyundias as well..

[@sale6059]

Great I didnt even know there is a universal diagnostic tool for forklifts. Can you calibrate sensors with it Like the tilt sensor on Linde H series forklifts?

[@theforkliftguy]

I can’t tell you 100% if it does or doesn’t, I haven’t used Jaltest with a Linde H series forklift yet. I’ll let you know if I do

[@sale6059]

@@theforkliftguy Great thanks looking forward to it

[@MohmedHamani-dy5oq]

Hello I havé asq you about Clark forklift thanks for you

[@tootoosick18]

Definitely glad I saw this. Kit sucks. For 6k you have about 1/4 of things you can do. And in all reality 90% you can pull a code from most trucks and once you get that you have another 90 percent chance you can find code off internet, or groups.

[@theforkliftguy]

You might be right. It’s been helpful to me though. I also work on a lot of different equipment. From pallet jacks all the way to telehandlers. To each its own, but yeah the price isn’t really justifiable.

[@creativecreative9582]

@@theforkliftguy Why use a car when you can walk., why use shoes if you can just live barefooted. Dont, lesson to this nay sayer you are good a what you do., Let him do what you do without the tool and lets see who gets asked to come do more work and who never gets a call again.

[@ryanedwards4137]

Have you had a chance to hook this up to any Cat,Nissan,Mitsu forklifts yet ?

[@theforkliftguy]

To a CAT, yes. It gives codes and you can erase codes but nothing else really. At least on the model I worked on. I haven’t had a chance to use it on mitsu and Komatsu/nissan yet. I’ll upload a video as soon as I do.

[@ryanedwards4137]

@theforkliftguy thanks for the quick reply love your content

[@theforkliftguy]

@@ryanedwards4137 I appreciate you man! Thanks for the support 🙏

[@CampingNstuff]

I work with a fleet of a electric Hysters ,, any idea if this works for those ?

[@theforkliftguy]

I have yet to try on an electric hyster but the software has a ton of electric hyster models on here. I’m sure it should work. I don’t know how well it will work though until I try it on one myself. I’ll keep you posted

[@CampingNstuff]

@@theforkliftguy yes please do so that’ll be very appreciated. I work in an industrial plant and we have a bunch of electric Hyster stand up models and order pickers . It’s kind of frustrating coming from automotive and heavy equipment where you have all the diagnostic software or disposal to a world where everything is highly proprietary and having no way of thoroughly diagnosing and given your management a definitive answer. The Hyster dealer that we use one guy told me there is a customer version available of Hyster software. The GM for those dealer said absolutely not

[@theforkliftguy]

@@CampingNstuff yeah it’s so dumb. I hate how the dealers don’t want to give out any information at all when it comes to material handling. Jaltest is the best we got right now and it’s up and coming.

[@MohmedHamani-dy5oq]

Hello Please can I havé thé schemattic of Clark forklift C70D

[@chrisbarber1187]

Does it work on Crown Forktrucks?

[@theforkliftguy]

Yes, it works on any crown truck that has a Curtis controller. I’ll try to use it on a crown as soon as I can and I’ll try to make a video on it for you.

[@oscardelgado6582]

What’s the cost of this tool?

[@theforkliftguy]

It depends where you buy it from. I bought mine from diesel laptops. I already had my own laptop, so it was around $6000 with the connectors and the program. Mind you it also includes the license and it’s good for a year. So after a year you’ll have to renew the license, I just charge my customer a diagnostic fee. I have to use my laptop and the software.
