Abstract
A forklift () of the type adapted to be transported on a carrying vehicle comprising a wheeled chassis () on which are mounted a pair of platform engaging load rest supports (). The load rest supports () comprise a pair of spaced-apart upright bars () which have a contact surface for engagement at Y of a platform (). The forklift truck () also has a mast () carrying extendable forks () to allow a load () to be placed on and removed from an extended position across the platform. The load rest support () allows the mast () to be tilted and if the mast () can also be side-shifted, then it can be side-shifted without interference with the platform (). This further prevents tilting of the forklift () in the direction of the arrow A.
