ARTICULATED FORKLIFT TRUCK

摘要

An articulated forklift truck for use in narrow aisles comprises a front chassis section (10) having a first pair of ground-engaging wheels (20) and a rear chassis section (12) having a second pair of ground-engaging wheels (22). The front chassis section (10) carries a mast (16) and lift forks (18) and is pivoted to the rear chassis section (12) about a substantially vertical axis (14) to allow the truck to be steered. Both front wheels (20) but only one of the rear wheels (22) are driven by electric of hydrostatic motors (24, 26).
