Abstract: A pallet saver device for fork lift trucks adapted for impact with the center strut of a pallet before contact of the fork fillets with the pallet during loading and lifting of a load on the pallet, without substantially adversely affecting load center, the said device being secured on the lift carriage of the truck between its spread forks and having means for removably mounting the device to the carriage. The device has a cushioned bumper extending from the carriage a distance greater than the thickness of the fork fillets, an impact panel backing up the bumper, and a spacer for selectively spacing the bumper and impact panel from the mounting means.

Abstract: A load tilting attachment for an industrial truck having an upstanding mast and a carriage vertically movable on the mast, said attachment including: a vertically disposed stationary plate secured to the carriage, the plate having a bearing for supporting a load on the carriage through the plate, and load reaction members radially spaced from the bearing; a vertically disposed body aligned with the plate, the body having secured to one face thereof a pivot spindle projecting from the body into and pivotable on the bearing, and second load reaction members on said one face radially disposed from said spindle movable on and cooperating with the plate reaction members; a piston-cylinder assembly connecting the plate and body for pivoting the spindle on the bearing and moving the body reaction members relative to the plate reaction members to tilt the body on the plate; and a load supporting member on the body.

Abstract: A side shifter for lift trucks embodying a bearing structure including a replaceable wear bar arranged to increase the wearable life of its bearing surface and including a hydraulic piston - cylinder assembly mounted in a novel manner to increase the maximum capacity of the lift forks or platform.
