But unfortunatly we only have Devon4x4 et:al word that they are better/stronger etc. By their own admission they have never had their waffles tested and have no idea of their load rating or SWL. At least if you buy floor gratings for use as waffle boards. You know you are buying something which has met strict safety testing and which has been load rated. and that these manufacturers are happy for you to see the test data and loadings.

I was leaving this alone, mostly because I hoped that you would eventually get bored of trying to taunt us. I have specification and data sheets for the waffles we make... these include deflection ratings and ultimate breaking loads... For what it is worth they are *higher* than the link you posted. You can take my word for it or not... I really couldn't care less.
The reason this thread dragged out is that you started out by saying that companies such as ours were deliberately "ripping off" customers... that is what Jake originally objected to and that is why I have been taking issue with the things you are saying.
Now, due to the sudden loss of someone this week I am not in the best of moods... so I will warn you now as an administrator of this forum... If you make another unfounded accusation against me or the company I work for then action will be taken. It is a direct breach of the forum guidelines, and the only reason the moderators haven't already taken action is because I asked them to keep away.
Please take a moment to think before you decide to reply to this.. Don't bother coming back trying to be clever, or screaming censorship.... because I really don't care. I've put up with all the nonsense I'm going to take from you.

I'm sorry for you're loss. However I really don't see why the admin should have any reason to step in and interfere with this thread. No one has been insulted or abused. There has been attempts to belittle the arguement. but certainly nothing to cause them to lock the thread or issue warnings. Obviously you have a vested interest as an employee of a 4x4 parts outlet. But you need to decide which hat your wearing in regards to this thread either it's as an impartial Forum Mod/Administrator. In which case you shouldn't have posted in this thread at all. Or as a waffle board supplier defending your business interests. In which case you should withdraw fromn any decisions with respect to the administration of this thread.
At the end of the day my point of view remains the same as it did when this thread started. That you can buy a set of flooring grid cutoffs which will do everything that any 4x4 driver wants of them. Safely and without fear of them breaking. Without having to fork out large amounts of money.
Now you say that you have data and test loadings. Yet when I asked you for those figures earlier in this debate you told me the boards you sell weren't rated :?
Surely the simplest thing to do would have been to post the figures, and that would have killed the argument ages ago. I'm not winding anyone up. If you've been upset by my posts then I apologise because I certainly never intended to cause anyone any offence. and the ripoff allegation was only made once and that was after the arguement was personalised and an attempt made to make me look like some sort of conspiracy nut.
ne jones:
Tim sorry to hear of your loss, and well said!

And I'm bringing this to a close, until such point that the main protagonist decides to support their stated accusations (which is what they amount too).
Its a shame that despite a reasoned request by an Adminsitrator and all-round sensible Bod, some folk still feel the need to persue what is a flawed and valueless argument with a disagreeable level of vitriol. I'll be blunt - support your claim, or zip it, dude. :-$
I would like the protagonist to step away from the keyboard for a few hours and think long and hard about persuing such discussions further. Slanderous accusations against any purveyors cannot be tolerated. Berrating the Adminstrators is also purdy unwise.
Thread locked.
