Description:
Licensed at its home in the Ruhr Valley region, it was supposed to reach every transport yard in the fledgling Federal Republic. That was the plan of Clarkโs US proprietor when the forklift trucks followed the Allied Forces from the United States to Germany after the end of the war. In the early 1950s, master model maker Alfred Kedzierski created the Clark forklift truck as a 1:25 scale model. Nearly 65 years later, the same model was transfigured into a filigree 1:87 forklift that serves as a reminiscence of the lifting equipment generation in the post-war years. Sometimes you do not have to look far as the most beautiful prototypes are undoubtedly made by WIKING themselves. This iteration of the forklift truck also sports a tilting forklift mast with a movable fork. Moreover, a separate seat and a new steering wheel with attached console have been inserted as well. Body and chassis as well as forklift mast and fork red. Steering wheel, seat and tyres black. Anthracite grey ornamental strips all around as well as Clark lettering on the rear. Anthracite grey Clark lettering on the side of the forklift mast. Wheel rims red. UPC: 4006190999342
