Abstract
A forklift reach mechanism () has a main support () connected between a carriage () and a set of forks (). The carriage is moveable vertically on a mast (). The main support is lifted by a connecting member () that depends from an articulated levelling assembly comprising a pair of arms () connected pivotally together and connected at their other ends to the mast and carriage respectively. The levelling assembly causes the distal end of the main support, on which the forks are mounted, to travel horizontally towards or away from the mast as the carriage is raised or lowered. The reach mechanism is operated by an extensible actuating member () such as a hydraulic cylinder that acts between the carriage and the connecting member, providing a strong and compact reach mechanism.
