Abstract: Each of the tines of a fork lift truck is provided with a sleeve which is telescopically slidable thereover. A cross member joins the sleeves at their inner ends closest to the truck. A mechanical linkage is mounted on the truck and attached to the cross member. Extension of the linkage causes the covering sleeves to be tine extensions thus permitting a load carried thereon to be forwardly extended relative to the lift truck. A bail member having a rectangular perimeter is pivotally mounted at its rear on the lift truck to the rear of the tines and is positionable either in a substantially vertical position adjacent the front of the lift truck or in a horizontal position where the front cross member rests on the top surface of the sleeves. A cross slatted pallet carrying a load is positioned across the forwardly extending tines with their sleeve covers. Each of the sleeves is provided with a fixed lug on its top side.
