Abstract
An attachment for use on a fork lift truck includes a base portion, and stabilizer bars movable relative thereto, laterally of the truck. The attachment also includes a platform movable relative to the base means laterally of the truck, and actuating means, including pulley and cable means, are utilized to initially move the stabilizer bars laterally of the truck, for engagement with a storage rack for stabilizing the fork lift truck. The platform is then shifted laterally to shift the load thereon. When this operation is completed, the platform is initially retracted, with the stabilizer bars in their outward or extended positions, and then the stabilizer bars themselves are retracted.
