    Publication number: 20020006325
    Abstract: A low profile, extensible boom, rough terrain forklift is provided with an engine and drive train centrally mounted within a narrowed frame to provide clearance between the rough terrain forklift wheels and the narrow frame such that the forklift has a tight turning radius without increasing the overall width of the forklift. In addition to the centrally mounted engine, the pivotal mount of the extensible boom is elevated from the frame to allow a forklift operator complete visibility of the terrain surrounding the forklift.
