Hubgerüst (n)

lift frame (n)

Side-shifting forks are mounted on the fork carriage that connects the sides of the lifting frame horizontally.

Depending on the design, lifting gear can be equipped with up to four lifting frames welded together from rolled sections and crossmembers.

Counterbalance fork-lift trucks have an unsprung vehicle body and a tiltable lifting frame that is usually mounted on the front axle.

In floor conveyors, mechanical lifting gear or masts are used to move loads.

During loading operations, the mast (lifting gear) is immediately adjacent to the vehicle side wall.

Lifting gear on the vehicle frame means that loads can be lifted higher than with low-lift pallet trucks.
