Best Answer

These are the basic features on a forklift.

  • Mast: The mast is the vertical support that permits raising and lowering the load.
  • Carriage: A support structure where the forks are attached or mounted.
  • Back Rest: Attached to the carriage and prevents the load shifting backwards, it protects the mast cylinders hoses as well as preventing any goods falling through the mast and hitting the operator.
  • Fork (Tynes): The cantilevered arms attached to the load carriage, that engage the load.
  • Lift Cylinder: Controls the amount by which the mast structure, forks and carriage may be raised or lowered in the vertical.
  • Overhead Guard: A framework/roof, providing overhead protection for the operator from falling objects.
  • Tilt Cylinder: Controls the amount by which the mast structure, forks and carriage may be tilted beyond the vertical position, forward or backward.
  • Rating Plate: This is used to inform users of the maximum load a forklift can legally carry.
  • Counter Weight: The weight installed by the manufacturer to give stability to the machine under load
