Your setup works very well!

I've tried to build a "super-steering" too, but in my case I was inspired by
the Linde forklifts:

So, after playing with pieces for some hour ;-), I came to this: it works
like the typical forklift steering, with that lovely ackermann correction
that makes the forklift move, even if it approaches 90 degrees steer:

Looks promising!

In fact, the 4-wheel forklift have (usually) front wd - but sometimes
hackermann correction isn't sufficent and the steering wheels slip,
expecially on smooth surfaces.

The factory floor at work can vouch for that!

Looking forward to seeing this forklift completed. I'm tempted to build one
someday since I see them regulary.
