SimpleLoader

"In such a convention I would state something of the ferocity of such a creation, but this I cannot. It is, in function and form, adorable."

Nicknamed "SimpleLoader", this forklift was designed to be extremely compact, and still be viable in transporting cargo. Its service began in one of the first large-scale spacecraft of the time, the SPE-FS1 Executive. The designers of the loader unanimously agreed that the contraption was adorable. Today, it can be seen on various tarmacs.

Controls:
Pitch for the engine.
Roll for turning.
VTOL for the forklift arms.

Tips:
It works like a normal forklift... to lift the box, move the fork prongs to line up with the bottom of the box, and the little structures that keep the box elevated.

This machine is unstable at speeds over 15mph.... after all, it isn't made for racing. Only speed when you are not turning.
