b. Tabulated Data

(1) Corps of Engineers "A" plate.

The rough terrain forklift truck (figs. 1-1 and 1-2) is

capable of operating over all types of terrain. It is

equipped with front and rear axle steering which ena-

bles it to move sideways at 20 angles and gives the

truck a shorter turning radius. The truck is also equip-

ped with with two-wheel and four-wheel drive, enabling it to

travel through mud, snow, sand and steep grades with

equal facility. The body and forks of the truck maybe

tilted right or left in relation to the front axle. The

forks are extended by hydraulically-operated, telescop-

ing arms which reach out, up, or down to handle loads.

A hydraulic cylinder moves the forks right or left of

center to lift off-center loads. The truck has expand-

ing-tube type hydraulic brakes, hydraulically-operated

power steering and a torque converter. The mainte-

nance paragraphs of this manual contain detailed

descriptions of the truck's components.
