Abstract
A lift truck includes a guide member secured to a mast of the lift truck and a guided member secured to a carriage vertically movable along the mast. The guided member engages with the guide member to resist twisting moments acting on the carriage and enable the carriage to move smoothly along the mast. A lift truck attachment for mounting on a lift truck includes a latching member which can restrict movement of the attachment with respect to the lift truck in a fore-and-aft direction of the lift truck.

A lift truck attachment for mounting on a lift truck including first and second fork engaging members each shaped for receiving a horizontal portion of a fork of a lift truck, and a first latching member movable with respect to the first fork engaging member between a first position in which it prevents withdrawal of a fork of a lift truck from the first fork engaging member and a second position in which it permits withdrawal of a fork of a lift truck from the first fork engaging member.
A clamping apparatus for use with a lift truck comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of clamping arms mounted on the frame and movable with respect to the frame for grasping and releasing a load;
- at least one actuator connected to one of the clamping arms to move the one of the clamping arms with respect to the frame;
- and
- a latching member movable with respect to the frame between a first position in which, when the clamping apparatus is mounted on a lift truck, the latching member blocks movement of the frame with respect to the lift truck in a fore-and-aft direction of the lift truck and a second position in which it permits movement of the frame with respect to the lift truck in the fore-and-aft direction of the lift truck.
A clamping apparatus for use with a lift truck comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of clamping arms mounted on the frame and movable with respect to the frame for grasping and releasing a load;
- at least one actuator connected to one of the clamping arms to move the one of the clamping arms with respect to the frame;
