Abstract
A fork lift truck takes less storage space when its support wheels are raised from operative position to storage position parallel with the mast of the truck. To further minimize the space taken up by the stored truck, the rotation of the wheels upward to inoperative position uses a camming surface which also telescopingly cams the wheel and support arms inward toward the mast.
