The owner, Vaclav Hanton, tells us that it was made for the US Army during World War II and used in Europe. The forklift is still used in his company. It still has the original engine, starter and other mechanical parts.

Unfortunately, Vaclav has no technical documentation with this machine and he can't identify the date of manufacture. Maybe somebody can help?
