Abstract
A cable assembly for a lift truck includes, in one exemplary embodiment, a transportation cable loosely housed in a self-retracting hose preformed to default to a coiled shape when no pressure is applied to elongate the self-retracting hose. The self-retracting hose has a slick external surface that is selected to prevent adherence of the surface to any portion of the lift truck. The transportation cable is used for transporting a communication signal and/or a power supply voltage.
