Abstract

A lift truck has a lifting mast and a lifting cylinder arrangement, which is located either in front of or behind an upright of the mast and defines a dead angle for the operator of the vehicle in the operator's station. A load chain is connected to a central point of the load carrier and a chain guide roller arrangement extends obliquely to the lateral extent of the mast. The invention is applicable to masts which are nonextensible and to telescopic masts having one or more extensible sections.
