Wide Chick Pitty —sometimes referred to in fan wikis as Chick Hicks Pitty —is part of the HTB pit crew that assists the antagonist Chick Hicks during Piston Cup races. He is seen in the pits, in the pit stop sequences, and during the mocking exchange addressed to Guido and the Lightning McQueen team.

Summary
On screen
The character appears during the racing scenes of the first film. He is distinguished by a condescending attitude towards Guido during the final race, in the competitive (and unfair) spirit of the HTB team. This intervention is brief: Wide Chick Pitty has neither a narrative arc of its own nor any developed dialogue beyond the mocking scene.

Design and model
Visually, it is a "wide" forklift in HTB (Hostile Takeover Bank) green livery , with team logos on the body and cap. Fan community bases classify it as a 2003 Nemomatic Forklift , but this designation remains unofficial , as it is never mentioned by Pixar.

Status in the franchise
Wide Chick Pitty is a supporting character in the original Cars (2006). He does not return in Cars 2 or Cars 3. His main appeal lies in the HTB paint scheme , his instantly recognizable "wide" frame, and the scene where Chick's pit crew belittles Guido —counterpointed by the latter's exploit in the pits.

Derivatives
The character has been released in 1:55 scale models by Mattel, notably in HTB team sets released in the late 2000s and early 2010s. These releases explain his popularity among collectors , despite his minor role on screen.
