Abstract: A side-shift fork carriage for a material handling machine includes a frame; a first shuttle comprising a first fork attachment member for receiving a first fork; a first fork actuator operable to side-shift the first shuttle relative to the frame; a second shuttle comprising a second fork attachment member for receiving a second fork; and, a second fork actuator operable to side-shift the second shuttle relative to the frame, wherein the first and second fork actuators are operable in a first mode in which the position of the first and second shuttles are side-shifted to alter the lateral distance therebetween, and a second mode in which the first and second shuttles are shifted unidirectionally with the lateral distance therebetween remaining constant.

Abstract: A carriage assembly for a working machine, the assembly having a first coupling body pivotally mountable to a working arm to rotate about a first axis, a second coupling body pivotally mounted to the first coupling body to rotate about a second axis, and carriage for a working implement pivotally mounted to the second coupling body to rotate about a third axis.
