The invention relates to a carriage assembly 28 for a lift mast. The carriage assembly has a frame 30 and a pair of load supporting arms 64 pivotally connected to the frame at spaced locations on a lower portion 36 of the frame, and pivotally connected to a guide bar 52 slidably connected to an upper portion 34 of the frame for permitting unitary movement of the load supporting arms relative to the frame, transversely to the lift mast. The carriage assembly 28 is compact, lightweight and requires few parts. Thus, capacity, visibility, component life and performance are improved. The carriage assembly is particularly useful on a vehicle such as a lift truck. <IMAGE> |
