An indicating method and apparatus of cargo load condition of a forklift truck. In this method and apparatus weight and centroid position of the loaded cargo are calculated by a calculation control circuit based on loads applied to a lift mechanism and a tilt mechanism of the truck. The calculated weight and centroid position are displayed on two-dimensional coordinates illustrated on a displaying device in contrast with an overturn danger line which is determined forecasting the forward overturn of the truck. The load condition may be displayed in three-dimensional coordinates in relation to lift height of the cargo as well as the weight and the centroid position thereof.

Load condition indicating method and apparatus for forklift truck

An axle shaft, a piston holder, an axle housing and associated components are preliminarily assembled as a unit and the unit is inserted into a differential housing in one of the steps in an assembly line operation for a heavy load vehicle. The axle shaft has a splined portion engaging the gear box and is supported by bearings in the piston holder and axle housing.

Axle housing sub-assembly

A lift truck having a wheeled truck body and a load lifting assembly which includes a pair of outer masts attached to the truck body, a corresponding pair of inner masts telescopically mounted in the pair of outer masts, a load lifter movably mounted on the pair of inner masts via a first and a second groups of lift rollers. The lift truck is characterized by comprising a resiliently biased contact pressure adjusting screw arrangement for adjusting contact pressures between the lift rollers and said inner mast.
