1-3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

1-4. The Model FJF-040 fork lift truck is a front loading unit rated to handle loads to 4000 pounds at 24 inch load centers.

Pneumatic tires permit satisfactory operation of the truck off paved surfaces.

1-5. Handling of loads is accomplished by engaging the two 40 inch fork prongs with the load. The forks are mounted on

a hydraulically operated mast assembly which can raise the load to a height of twelve feet for stacking of commodities

handled. The mast is tillable ten degrees rearward to cradle the load when traveling, to three degrees forward to facilitate

disengaging the load when depositing it. Travel speed of the trucks is limited to about 12 miles per hour loaded, or 14

miles per hour empty, by an engine speed governor. Steering is power assisted. Arrangement of the controls conforms

to general industrial truck standards, permitting ready use by operators with previous fork lift experience.
