    Could be. It’s not a fork lift though, and was completely electric. Kind of like this but in yellow, for moving two pallets at the same time:

    This was mid to late 90s though in Hungary. I assume they’ve all been replaced by either automation or just single electric ones since.

      They are still being made and used. At a job I had 7 years ago they had two of them. Pretty handy when you need to fill a truck with pallets. I did not need a license.

      You need some practice though, I may have fallen off one or two times in a corner. One day a truck driver borrowed it and managed to park the whole back into another pallet. Fun machines.

      At my current job we have ones for single pallets, but they can go 4 meter high. I love it, very flexible and small, but you can still put pallets away pretty high.
