...Thought of more after I turned the laptop off...

It's meant to be a 'delivery vehicle' so therefore combining the FLT and delivery roles, yet it can only carry two pallets at once! Lorries can carry a damn site more than that, obviously!
And it can only handle pallets where the load fits within the pallet size and doesn't overhang, as it'd get caught on the wheel arches. And that's a specific pallet size and not an adjustable size with adjustable fork width for smaller ones or clearance to carry oversized ones.
And with that cab overhanging the pallet area, they can only be within a restricted height too.
And as I've said you'd need someone at both ends to drop the pallets down to individual stacks on ground floor and then to restack them at the other end.
Plus that cab looks difficult to get in and out of safely and easily.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Designer's wet dream that won't go further than the initial stages.

To end on only the second positive I can find: at least the cab is fully sheltered from the weather!
