A forklift includes a vehicle frame, wherein at least one load rest platform is movably arranged on the vehicle frame. The at least one load rest platform is movable between a storage position, in which no load can be deposited on the at least one load rest platform, and a working position, in which a load can be deposited on the at least one load rest platform. The at least one load rest platform is aligned essentially horizontally when moved to the working position, and the at least one load rest platform is movably arranged on an upper surface of the vehicle frame via at least one articulating joint. The at least one articulating joint connects the at least one load rest platform with a side face of the vehicle frame.

A lift device having an implement, a prime mover configured to drive the implement, and a connectivity module communicably coupled with the lift device. The connectivity module is configured to determine a parameter set relating to the lift device, receive a request to provide a status of the component of the lift device, receive a measure associated with the attribute of the component of the lift device, compare the received measure and the threshold measure associated with the attribute of the component of the lift device, and provide, based on the comparison, an indication in accordance with the indication characteristic representing the status of the component of the lift device.

A controlling device of a forklift executes a stopping process of stopping lowering of a fork by a lift device when a detection sensor is separated from a first facing surface while the fork is being lowered by the lift device in a placing operation, a forward tilting process executed after execution of the stopping process, the forward tilting process controlling the tilt device to tilt the fork forward until the tilt angle reaches a limit value, and a returning process of sequentially obtaining values of the tilt angle during execution of the forward tilting process and tilting the fork rearward when the value of the tilt angle stops changing before the tilt angle reaches the limit value. The returning process is not executed in a case in which the tilt angle reaches the limit value.

Fork runners removably secured to a fork optionally permit fork runners to be of a different material from the fork and to be readily replaced. The fork includes an upper surface and a downward depending portion extending therefrom, and the fork runner includes an elongated fastening plate that is releasably secured to the downward depending portion.

A pallet lift includes a base and a plurality of wheels supporting the base. A pair of contact surfaces are proximate a distal end of the base. A handle projects upward proximate a proximal end of the base. A rear support surface support is on the base between the contact surfaces and the handle. The base may include a pair of spaced apart rails capable of receiving columns of a pallet therebetween. In one embodiment, the base includes a pair of four-bar linkages and the handle is a lift handle configured to selectively collapse and extend the four-bar linkages to raise and lower a pallet.

A support stand is used for removing, repairing, storing, and reattaching a feeder house from an agricultural combine. The stand is adapted to be raised and lowered with a forklift to position the stand adjacent to the feeder house during removal and to position the feeder house on the combine during reattachment. The stand includes a base, the base having a flat lower surface, the base being adapted to receive a lifting mechanism. An upright frame is mounted at a first end of the base, the upright frame being adapted to selectively attach to a feeder house on a combine when raised by the forklift into alignment with the feeder house.
