I swear this was a background element in one of the new Star Trek's. Failing to find a clip. At the time, I thought it was a waste of special effects, only to later discover it was a real product.
That is certainly cool, but the video seems like evidence that it’s not actually very useful. The forklift pointlessly drives sideways to show it can, but a standard forklift could just turn and go straight so what’s the value from all the extra complexity?
Those sidewinder wheels seem like a much better solution than the captive spheres in the concept car, though.
