Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lift arrangement of a lift truck, especially a forklift truck, has a lift mast defining a z-axis. The lift mast includes a first mast section and a second mast section. Damping elements made from elastic material are provided on the first mast section and/or the second mast section preventing a hard impact of the second mast section with the first mast section at the run-in end position of the second mast section. The damping elements are configured and arranged in such a manner that, in addition to damping the movement of the second mast section in the direction of the z-axis, the damping elements damp movements of the second mast section in the directions of the x-axis and the y-axis running perpendicularly to the z-axis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 .
