Abstract

A universal forklift truck mounting frame (1) for fitting at a rear end of a carrier vehicle chassis has a composite base support framework. The base support framework has a rear support beam (8) and a front support beam (20) interconnected by a pair of spaced-apart hanger plates (5). Each hanger plate (5) has a flanged upper end (6) to provide a laterally extending chassis engaging surface. A wheel rest plate (9) is mounted at each end of the rear support beam (8). A pair of fork support sleeves (18), each for engagement with a fork of a forklift truck are mounted on the support framework between and substantially parallel to the hanger plates (5). A crash bar (10) is mounted at a rear end of the hanger plates (5).
