This just in from Combilift:
"Your reader is correct, Combilift does not claim to be the world's first 4 way truck, rather Combilift is the world's first IC engine-powered all-wheel-drive 4-directional forklift. This can be seen on our website: http://www.combilift.com/En/ABOUTUS/CombiliftConcept.aspx
Electric-owered 4-directional forklifts existed prior to Combilift, however these electric powered 4-way forklifts were not designed to operate outdoor, due to their small diameter wheels.
Also 100% utilisation is not possible in multi-shift operations due to necessary battery charging or replacing.
