A multi-directional, multi-way or omni-directional forklift is a type of forklift truck designed for optimum manoeuvrability. It can move forwards, backwards, diagonally and laterally (side to side).Thanks to their all-wheel drive design, multi-directional forklift trucks have zero turning radius. They can travel in any direction in a straight line from a stationary position. This allows them to travel parallel to obstacles and traverse tight corners with ease.One of the most well-known brands is the Combilift multi-directional forklift.
