  • Apparatus and method for mounting a forklift on a carrier
    Patent number: 6120232
    Abstract: A forklift having a frame supported by front and rear wheels is mounted on a carrier by inserting its forks into pockets mounted on the frame of the carrier vehicle and lifting the wheels of the forklift off the ground. A pair of wheel abutments on the underside of the carrier serve as abutments for the front wheels of the forklift to prevent its forward movement. A combined lock and support structure connected to the frame of the carrier prevents separation of the forklift from the carrier after the hydraulic system of the forklift is neutralized and all pressure on the forks, carriage, and mast are relieved of support forces.

  • Walk behind fork lift truck
    Patent number: 5174415
    Abstract: A fork lift truck takes less storage space when its support wheels are raised from operative position to storage position parallel with the mast of the truck. To further minimize the space taken up by the stored truck, the rotation of the wheels upward to inoperative position uses a camming surface which also telescopingly cams the wheel and support arms inward toward the mast.
