Mast Rollers - The forklift mast is an important part of the forklift's frame. These forklifts or also called forklift vehicles are industrial machinery utilized so as to lift and transfer materials.
The mast is a vertical assembly that is responsible for lowering and raising cargo. The mast of a forklift comprises interlocking rails to provide some sideways stability. These rails are guided by bushings or rollers.
Utilizing metal plates so as to help transport goods, the masts are driven by hydraulic mechanisms. Hydraulics is the transmission of power which utilizes pressurized fluid, normally oil. Hydraulic cylinders that link directly to the forklift motor are responsible for driving the mast, causing it to lower, lift or tilt a load. The pressurized oil drives the cylinder piston to move in a linear motion, or in strokes. The mast is often worked by means of a lever in the cab or positioned in the part of the forklift that houses the forklift control components and the operator.
A swing mast is a forklift mast that can turn 90 degrees in one direction. The design enables the swing mast to operate effectively in constricted aisles.
