WIKING 042906 - Flatbed truck (MB LP 333) "Clark"

Prototype Information


The fleet of vehicles belonging to Ruhr Intrans, the former German licensee of Clark forklifts, is growing and developing into a typical WIKING themed series. It all started when model maker Alfred Kedzierski created the Clark forklift in 1:25 scale at the beginning of the 1950s. Some 65 years later, this had evolved into a delicate 1:87 scale forklift, reminiscent of the lifting equipment generation of the post-war years. And now, based on original photographs from the late 1950s, the "Millipede" (a nickname for the Clark forklift) is being added! In coral red, of course. The Mercedes-Benz LP 333, with its extensive loading capacity, had proven its worth to the Clark licensee in the Ruhr region and was used by Ruhr Intrans for a variety of tasks. From the Ruhr area, the Clark truck with its characteristic double front axle traveled throughout West Germany to procure goods for production. WIKING's history with Clark forklifts has become particularly special, as the series is now complete: Alongside the Clark forklift, WIKING released the Mercedes-Benz Pullman tractor unit with delivery low-loader, and most recently, the Mercedes-Benz L 319 service vehicle. This new quartet is thus brimming with model-making history – naturally, in true WIKING style!
