Abstract
An upright assembly for a fork lift truck is disclosed in which the assembly comprises an outer mast of U-shaped cross-section and an inner mast also of U-shaped cross-section that is received in the space within the outer mast. In order to keep the overall height of the upright assembly low, and to keep sliding resistance between the masts small, the inner mast is supported by an inner mast roller to counter the large forward moments and the inner mast is supported by liners to counter the small rearward moments.
