Abstract
A deck apparatus for a lift device includes a frame, a deck, a member, a cable, and a cylinder. The deck is pivotally coupled with the frame. The member is coupled with the frame and configured to translate along the frame in an upwards direction or a downwards direction. The cable is configured to operably couple the deck with the member. The cylinder is coupled with the frame and the member. The deck is pivotable between a stowed position and a deployed position. Pivoting of the deck from the stowed position to the deployed position drives translation of the member along the frame in the upwards direction.
