I was looking for information about the ART-30 forklift and can find very little online.
From this website - https://more.brandt.ca/forklifts/blog/clarks-timeline-of-extraordinary-innovation/ -
"The ART-30 was designed by the CLARK Development Division and was the first lightweight-counterbalanced forklift capable of helicopter transport primarily designed for use by the U.S. Military. It was the perfect solution for their mobility issues because it was lightweight, maneuverable, and flexible in the types of applications it could handle. The forklift could be easily transported to places the military couldn't go before with about 3,000-pound capacity and the material made from aluminum alloy. The lightweight aluminum alloy material allowed the ART-30 to have some unique capabilities as it could climb 60% grades, traverse 30% slopes under full load, and travel at road speeds of up to 25 mph."

Short of seeing one in person once, this is only the 2nd photo I've ever seen of one.
Anybody have any info on these?
