Abstract (en)

A mast assembly (10) for a forklift truck includes paired outer masts, a tilt cylinder (28) having a rod (28A), and a tilt bracket (17,37). The tilt bracket (17,37) is fixed to the outer surface of each outer mast (11) by welding for supporting an end of the rod (28A) of the tilt cylinder (28). The tilt bracket (17,37) has top (18,38) and bottom (19,39) surfaces parallel to each other, a front surface (20,40) having a welded portion (29,49) for fixing the tilt bracket (17,37) to the outer mast (11), the rear surface (24,44) facing the tilt cylinder (28), and a shaft support (25) for supporting the end of the rod (28A). The front surface (20,40) of the tilt bracket (17,37) has a continuous curved surface (21,41) which is formed a recess (H) extending toward the rear surface (24,44) of the tilt bracket (17,37). The welded portion (29,49) is formed continuously along the continuous curved surface (21,41). The welded portion has the weld end (29A,49A) located adjacent to the end of the continuous curved surface (21,41).
