Vehicles, systems and methods for providing articulating two section vehicles with tracks, and a front body attached superstructure with telescopic forklift, for use on all terrain condition applications. The vehicle can include front and rear track assemblies that can tilt up and down while traveling over different ground surfaces. Each of the track assemblies can have rotatable articulating/oscillating track wheels which can traverse different contoured surfaces. The right and left tracks on both the front and rear track assemblies can separately extend outward and inward from underneath the vehicles to add stability to the vehicles. The cab can be raised and lowered to add greater visibility for the operator. Hydraulics can be used for raising and lowering the extendable boom and operator cab, as well as controlling the body articulating hinge, the articulating tracks and the tilting controls for the front track assembly.

An industrial vehicle includes a vehicle body, a head guard provided in the upper portion of the vehicle body, and a lighting device provided on the head guard and illuminating a space in front of the vehicle body. The lighting device is provided with a light illuminating the space in front of the vehicle body and brackets removably attached to a pipe of the head guard. The light is attached to the bracket so as to be positioned below the pipe and positioned beside or behind a front pillar of the head guard.

An operator control system is provided for a materials handling vehicle, the materials handling vehicle including an operator station having a support structure. The operator control system includes an operator control assembly having a housing mounted to or integral with the support structure, and at least one control element for controlling a function of the vehicle. One or both of the housing and/or the control element is positionable in a plurality of positions.

In one embodiment, a tractor bucket attachment may include an attachment head and a loop of flexible cable. The attachment head may include a mounting bracket and first and second cable attachment mechanisms.
