Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0866026A2] A telescopic mast construction (10) for a lift truck has a mast fixed to the wagon. A mast is movable up and down relative to the fixed mast, and a load supporting device is located on the movable mast, a first lifting cylinder which is coupled at one end to the movable mast and at the other end through tension devices to the load-supporting device plus at least one second lifting cylinder to extend the movable mast. The lifting cylinders are connected parallel to a common hydraulic supply and are chosen in their effective cross-section so that the first cylinder lifts the load- supporting device before the second cylinder extends the movable mast. The first cylinder is constructed so that before the end of its extension stroke, a gradually increasing opposing pressure is built up that is dimensioned so that the increase in pressure caused at the lifting cylinders suffices to extend the second cylinder before the first one has reached its dead point.
