A lift truck upright having a fixed upright section, one or more telescopic upright sections supported outwardly and rearwardly of the fixed section and a load carrier (56, 224) mounted from the outer telescopic section. The side upright rail assemblies are mounted at predetermined forwardly diverging angles relative to the central plane of the lift truck (10) and may be mounted from the truck either over the drive wheels (16), in front of and in alignment with the drive wheels (16), or inwardly of the drive wheels (16), in both two-stage and triple-stage upright constructions. Primary lift cylinders (70, 230) are nested behind respective upright rail sections and, in the triple-stage version, full free-lift cylinders (260) are mounted either in front of the upright rail assemblies or behind said rail assemblies in nested relation with said rail assemblies. |
