Abstract
Abstract A narrow aisle forklift truck (Figure 1) has a pivot between the mast and body and means for turning the mast relative to the body so as to steer the truck. The mast has a load extensor/retractor (28) between the forks (26) and the mast (24). This enables insertion and extraction in particularly narrow aisles relative to the dimensions of the truck and its load.
