    Left brain, right brain...Something kinda strange.

    While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clock-wise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it.

    Aerocell question

    TW Notice the step bumper on the Aerocell? That will help keep the mast of forktrucks away from the body. About my Dodge only 49 1/4 rear doors and I had to remove the door guides as they were attached to the inside doorframe. They were only plastic and would have been smashed quickly anyhow.

    Bill says hit those headlights

    DRL's are law in Ontario...have been for years. Insurance Stats claim they do some good. Inclement weather or not. Lights are wired to the ignition switch but run on lower amps. No one I know has had premature battery life that I know of.

    Aerocell question

    TW... My Dodge I can get a 48" pallet in as long as it's not too high. I know cause I just did it again yesterday. I call it T-boning. The skids were about 1200lbs each and I don't like dragging them across the floor if I don't have too. The van has the barn doors on the sides. I don't care the...

    Aerocell question

    TW, JuJu prefers the i-495! No accounting for preferences of course...haha One other little draw back on the Sprinter the sliding side door only 40 inch opening I like to be able to slide a skid in thru the side especially if it's 2 different drops and I don't have to drag the 1st one along floor.

    Aerocell question

    Tony...I noticed the roundness but the square peg in round hole didn't occur to me till you pointed it out. But I do know the door will retract far enough to be out of the masts way on the FTruck. Wouldn't it be prudent to have a heavier bumper or say a 8in wide like a step? This would keep that...

    Aerocell question

    I've had no personal experience with the aerocell but we do have one on the fleet and talking to him he's had no out of the ordinary problems. The flip up back door has a stop pin that can be removed and reset so the door almost retracts completely to facilate fork trucks. The barn doors worry...
