Forklift Parts Diagram:

1.) Overhead Guard:

A metal roof supported by posts at each corner of the cab that helps protect the operator from falling objects.

2.) Counterweight:

A mass attached to the rear of the forklift truck frame. The purpose of the counterweight is to counterbalance the load being lifted.

3.) Engine/Battery Compartment:

May consist of an internal combustion engine that can be powered by LP, CNG, gasoline, or diesel fuel. Electric forklifts are powered by either a battery or fuel cells that provide power to the electric motors.

4.) Cab:

The area that contains a seat for the operator along with the control pedals, steering wheel, levers, switches, and operator readouts.

5.) Steer Axle:

A central shaft that rotates a wheel or gear, allowing the forklift to steer and maneuver.

6.) Drive Axle:

The piece of equipment that is fastened to the framework of the vehicle with a lift mast. The lift mast affixes to the drive axle and can be inclined, by one or more tilting cylinders, around the drive axle’s axial centerline.

7.) Carriage:

The component to which the forks or other attachments mount. Like the mast, the carriage may have either rollers or bushings to guide it in the interlocking mast rails.

8.) Forks:

Two cantilevered arms that carry the load. Ideal for sliding underneath plywood, drywall, cardboard, and pallets, including ITA-standard forklift forks, fully tapered forklift forks, and blank forklift forks without any type of suspension system.

9.) Load Backrest:

A rack-like extension that is either bolted or welded to the carriage in order to prevent the load from shifting backward when the carriage is lifted to full height.

10.) Lift/Tilt Cylinder:

Hydraulic cylinders that are mounted to the truck frame and mast. The tilt cylinders pivot the mast backward or forward to assist in engaging and stabilizing a load.

11.) Mast:

The vertical assembly that does the work of raising and lowering the load. The mast is driven hydraulically and operated by one or more hydraulic cylinders directly, or using chains from the cylinder or cylinders.
