It looks like someone has been stealing some serious ideas from the Essex Tri-Directional here
BTW, I'm kidding in case you haven't heard of the ETD here before. This is a pretty amazing forklift design though.

Yup,that there Essex Tri-Di was quite a machine.As I have said before on here,I know of one in the woods up here in Maine but some one had rebuilt the engine and put it in backwards and couldnt turn it around to get it back home.

I think Hoyt Clagwell made a similar but primative prototype over 40 yrs ago ,Hank Kimble was testing how well it would go on steep concrete slopes on the Pixley reservoir dam, went up the backside of the dam just fine , then over, and then,, SPLASH !!.. Have not seen Neither one of them in as many years .. Looks like Ol'Hoyt Clagwell went to work for one of them BIG City forklift Companys,. always wondered whatever become of him

Thanks for posting that. I really enjoyed the video.
As to building a small vehicle type of machine, with hydraulics as they are today it would be pretty easy to build one.
