A lift truck is constructed from numerous components. The key parts that make up a lift truck are the frame of the truck, the engine parts, the overhead guard, the wheels and the tilt cylinders. Additionally, a forklift consists of a variety of attachments. All the components that make up a forklift are all important because they work together to make the machine's functions possible. The subsequent paragraphs describe several of the lift truck components in detail.



The Overhead Guard - The overhead guard is actually the forklifts metal roof, that sits atop the operator cab. It's job is to protect the operator whilst they are utilizing the machine. The overhead guard makes sure that nothing falling from above onto the truck would damage the controls in the cab or injure the operator. The overhead guard is vital to the frame assembly on several units.



The Mast - the mast is a vertical assembly made of interlocking rails and mounted either to the front axle or the forklift frame. The mast provides lateral stability and allows the forks to move upwards and downwards. The interlocking rails could either have rollers or bushings as guides. There are a couple of ways the mast may be operated: hydraulically by one or more hydraulic cylinders or chain operated with motive power provided by a hydraulic motor.



Lift Truck Carriage - the forks and various other attachments are mounted to the carriage. The carriage is attached to the mast directly to the hydraulic cylinder or it is connected by chains. To be able to enable the forks to be raised and lowered, the carriage could have either rollers or bushings to guide it in the interlocking mast rails.



Load Back Rest - When the carriage is lifted to full height, there is a back rest made of metal that prevents a load from falling backwards. The back rest is either welded or bolted on to the carriage.



Forklift Attachments - a variety of attachments can be fixed to the front of the forklift truck. The most common kind of attachment is forks. Also, there are L-shaped members, rollers, rotators, pole handlers, roll clamps and and all that. These various attachments are very helpful for transporting different types of loads.
