Does anyone know the turning radius of this truck? Or where can I retrieve the specs?

Most end users don't need to know the turning radius of a forklift truck because that dimension only comes into play if you want to drive a forklift truck in a circle and I don't know any customers that need to do that.
What they do need to know is what is the right angle stacking aisle. In other words, what width aisle do I need to maneuver with the truck and the typical pallet that they use. A rule of thumb is that most 3 wheel electrics require a 10.5' to 11' aisle with a 40" wide by 48" long pallet.
3 wheel counterbalanced trucks (including the 30sctt) usually turn within their own footprint. as such "turning radius" is determined by the length of forks.
I was looking at one of those today and it measures 6' on the diagonal but it can turn a little tighter than that because that inside wheel turns the opposite direction when in full turn mode, like about 10' total needed to spin around in a circle.
I just found my service manual on this truck and they don't have a turning radius listed. It's a three wheel though so you can pretty much turn it around the inside wheel. (so turning would be around twice the diagonal, e.g. right front to left rear)
You'd probably have to find an old sales brochure to find this listed.
