Abstract
A material handling vehicle system comprising a universal power module and a plurality of interchangeable load handling modules. The load handling modules disclosed include two forms of order pickers, a double masted stacker, and a towing attachment. The connection between the load handling module and the power modules is designed to maintain a constant force on the steering wheels of the power module regardless of the load on the load handling module, and to facilitate changing from one load handling module to another.
