Industrial vehicle with adjustable boom members

An industrial vehicle comprising:

• a frame;
• a motive device mounted on the frame;
• a platform mounted on the frame adjacent the motive device;
• a telescoping main boom member associated with an industrial implement, the main boom member being pivotably coupled to the platform and positioned between the platform and the industrial implement;
• at least one secondary boom member attached to the main boom member;
• and
• at least one pivot defining at least one axis about which at least one of the main boom member and the at least one secondary boom member pivot, the at least one axis being substantially perpendicular to a driving direction of the vehicle.

An industrial vehicle comprising:

• a raisable platform;
• a main boom member associated with an industrial implement, the main boom member being pivotably coupled to the platform and positioned between the industrial implement and the platform;
• at least one secondary boom member connected to the main boom member;
• and
• a linkage that pivots at least one of the main boom member and the at least one secondary boom member about an axis substantially perpendicular to a driving direction of the vehicle.

An industrial vehicle comprising:

• a platform;
• a telescoping main boom member having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the platform;
• at least one secondary boom member connected to a distal end of the main boom member;
• and
• a pivot positioned on the main boom member between the distal and proximal ends of the main boom member, said pivot allowing the distal end of the main boom member to pivot from a raised position to a lowered position about an axis substantially parallel to a driving direction of the vehicle .
