==Description== | The '''Forklift''' is, as implied, a forklift featured in multiple Grand games, including [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It functionally varies between each games. | ||
== Description == | |||
=== Design === | |||
The Forklift is a small, light vehicle, to the point where it cannot sustain high velocity hits without being knocked over. Control can be a problem, due to its rear-wheel steering. While the lift is functional in the GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories rendition, there is no apparent way to raise or lower the lift in GTA IV. | The Forklift is a small, light vehicle, to the point where it cannot sustain high velocity hits without being knocked over.

The GTA IV rendition of the Forklift houses a tank of what seems to be propane; shooting it will either cause it to leak ignited gas, or to itself ignite and eventually explode, taking the entire vehicle with it. Safety illustrations are printed on the vehicle, accompanied by the caption "YOU WILL DIE". | The GTA IV rendition of the Forklift houses a tank of what seems to be propane; shooting it will either cause it to leak ignited gas, or to itself ignite and eventually explode, taking the entire vehicle with it.

In GTA Vice City Stories, the Forklift goes faster in reverse than during regular driving. | In GTA Vice City Stories, the Forklift goes faster in reverse than during regular driving. | ||
The Forklift is the slowest vehicle in GTA IV, and the handling is atrocious; sudden turns will pitch it violently to one side, frequently tipping it over. It has the fastest acceleration of any vehicle in GTA IV (3.4 seconds to top speed), presumably to compensate for its negligible top speed of 29mph (just over half that of the next slowest vehicle, the [[Ripley]]). | The Forklift is the slowest vehicle in GTA IV, and the handling is atrocious; sudden turns will pitch it violently to one side, frequently tipping it over.

The Forklift is used during the [[Robbing Uncle Sam]] mission in GTA San Andreas, with [[Carl Johnson]] loading boxes of firearms into a [[Mule|truck]] at a National Guard armory in [[Los Santos]]; it also plays a small role in the mission, [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's]], when Carl Johnson must open the garage for [[Zero]] and the team during the bank heist with a Forklift. In the mission [[Gray Imports]], gangsters in Forklifts loaded with explosives will attack Carl as he exits the warehouse. In the GTA Vice City Stories mission [[Boomshine Blowout]], [[Victor Vance]] uses the Forklift to load [[Phil Cassidy|Phil Cassidy's]] [[boomshine]] onto the latter's [[Walton]] before a factory blows up. | |||
