Abstract
A device for providing sideward displacement of a vehicle having vertically adjustable members such as a forklift truck, comprising at least one displacement member attached to said vertically adjustable member, said displacement member being pivotably movable from an active position to an inactive position, said device including a pedal to move the displacement member from said inactive position to said active position upon raising said adjustment member to a raised position, whereby lowering of said adjustable member causes contact of said displacement member with the ground, and whereby continued lowering of the adjustable member permits pivoting of the displacement member towards its inactive position to simultaneously displace at least a portion of the vehicle in a sideward direction.
