A hydraulic cylinder mount assembly (50) for a cylinder (42) having first and second ends (52, 64) includes a spherical load bearing surface (96) located at one of said first and second ends (52, 64), which has a diameter (98) which is less than the diameter of the cylinder housing (100). Accordingly, the mount assembly (50) is smaller and more compact than prior art mounts and the cylindrical load bearing surface (96) allows the hydraulic cylinder (42) to pivot with three degrees of freedom so as to avoid any bending moments or other stresses. The mount can be used to mount hydraulic cylinders for a carriage (14) of a lift truck (10) so as to afford an overall compact design. |
