Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0622331A1] In a unit for lifting the forks of lift trucks using one or more single-acting hydraulic cylinders (19) to lift or lower the forks, in two opposite end-of-travel strokes of the piston (31) of the hydraulic cylinder (19), interception means (37, 34) determine a reduction in the cross-section of the working fluid outflow respectively from a first chamber (44) and from a second chamber (45) of variable volumes inside the hydraulic cylinder (19); this brakes the travel of the piston (31) and thus of the actuating rod (33), which is integral with the latter, preventing abrupt stresses being applied to the load on the forks. <IMAGE>
