A counterweight system for a device (10) having two spaced apart frame members (13) on which is supported a removable component (34). Extending toward one another from a bottom portion (20) of each frame member (13) are projections (22), these being positioned a spaced distance beneath said component (34). Supported on these projections (22) are a plurality of thin removable counterweights (26). The number, and hence total weight, of these counterweights (26) may easily be changed upon removing the component (34). The present invention provides a variable weight counterweight system yielding a lowered center of gravity and is especially applicable to battery powered lift trucks (11) and the like. |
