Abstract
A materials-handling fork-lift truck comprising a chassis (11) which is fitted with two forwardly extending, mutually parallel support legs (18), and a chassis-mounted lifting mast assembly (16) provided with a raisable and lowerable lifting fork (17). The lifting mast assembly can be moved along the support legs (18), between a first, mast-withdrawn position and a second, mast-extended position, in which the lifting fork is located close to the outer ends (19) of the support legs. The lifting mast assembly (18) is intended to be supported on the support legs (18), and a linkage mechanism (20) is provided for effecting movement of the mast assembly along the support legs. The linkage mechanism is also intended to constitute a horizontal support for the mast assembly (16).
