Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0595611A1] A load handling vehicle has a lifting mast (10) and a carriage (12) incorporating load-handling means movable up and down the lifting mast. The carriage is movable on rollers (20, 20') which run inside the channel sections of the mast, and the pivot axles (52) of the rollers (20) on at least one side of the carriage (12) are eccentrically mounted on spigots (36) which are rotatable by means of a hydraulic cylinder (46) and associated actuating arms (38, 40). Rotation of the spigots (36) under the control of the vehicle operator causes a translational forwards or backwards movement of the rollers (20) relative to the carriage (12) and a corresponding slewing movement of the carriage relative to the vehicle, thereby enabling ready adjustment of the position of the load-engaging means (with or without a load thereon) relative to the vehicle. <IMAGE>
