GENERAL, MAST

WARNING
In addition to the checks and safety regulations
found in this description, always refer to the
country’s own applicable laws regarding safety
regulations.

The mast is on two shafts in the chassis and consists of the

following components.
• Outer mast
• Inner mast
• Lift truck with forks
• Lift cylinders
• Tilt cylinders
• Spreading-/side shift cylinders
• Lift chains(standard mast)

The lift truck has fork spreading and fork side shifting as standard.
In addition, tucks are also available with fork banking, fixed forks
and central banking as an option.

There are different types of mast available depending on the

requirement and area of use. The mast is available in the following
versions.
• Duplex, standard mast
• Duplex, free lift mast
1. Outer mast • Triplex, free lift mast
2. Inner mast
3. Lift chains Removal of mast and truck can be carried out in different ways:
4. Lift truck with forks • Only forks, see “Removing forks” on page 5.
5. Spreading-/side shift cylinders • Only truck and forks, see “Lift truck” on page 26.
6. Tilt cylinder • Inner mast, see “Removing inner mast” on page 6.
7. Lifting cylinder • Complete mast, see “Removing complete mast” on page 7.

Advantages: Low construction height in relation to
maximum lifting height. The total height of the mast is
affected when the forklift truck reaches a certain height.
Disadvantages: Complicated design, poorer visibility,

DUPLEX MAST, STANDARD
The duplex mast consists of an outer mast, inner mast and lift
truck with forks. The inner mast is vertically adjustable via lift
cylinders. The lift truck is vertically guided in the inner mast. The
lift truck is suspended by chains and is vertically adjustable. The
lift truck’s chains are secured in the inner mast and the chains run
above the inner mast’s chain wheel. When the inner mast is raised,
the lift truck is pulled upwards by the chain.
DUPLEX MAST, FREE LIFT
The difference between duplex standard and duplex free lift is that the
lift truck is raised by hydraulic cylinders. In this way, the lift truck can
be lifted individually without the inner mast having to be raised.
TRIPLEX MAST, FREE LIFT
The triplex mast has a further inner mast and this is raised and
lowered by the chain. The lift truck is raised by hydraulics. The
advantage is that, at the same time as achieving a high lifting
height, goods can also be raised in areas with low roof heights. The
inner mast does not need to be raised for the lift truck to be raised.

REMOVING FORKS
1. Relieve the forks and operate them laterally.
2. Secure the spreading cylinders. Slacken off the screws holding
the cylinders in the forks.
3. Place straps on the forks.

WARNING
There is a high centre of gravity on the forks.
Risk of personal injury. The forks can easily tip
over when lifted out.

4. Lift out the forks from the lift truck.

REMOVING STANDARD MAST

WARNING
The hydraulic system is pressurized.
Risk of personal injury.
Always depressurise the hydraulic system before
starting work on the hydraulic system.

The mast is fitted with lift chains for lifting the lifting truck.

1. Lower the inner mast so that the lift chains and hydraulic
hoses slacken.
2. Mark up the hydraulic hoses for the lift truck and remove the
connections at the lift truck. Plug the hoses and connections.
3. Secure the hoses so that they do not roll around the block for
the hose tension.

REWELDING THE AXLE JOURNAL TO THE MAST WHEEL

The axle journal must be replaced if it has become worn due to
seizure for example.
1. Cut, chisel or grind off the welds (2) and (3) for the axle
journal. Do not cut material from the member’s guide hole (1).
Grind clean so that the mating surfaces become even and all
burrs are removed.
2. Install a new axle journal (4). Check that the contact to the
mast is good and that the axle journal is at the correct angle.
3. Preheat the axle journal to approximately 150 °C.
4. Weld the axle journal with metal arc weld. Use basic electrodes
according to Table 1 on page 3.
- Begin with internal welds (3).
- Continue with external welds (2).
- Carry out welding without long gaps in order to prevent
shrinkage cracks.
- Allow the material to cool slowly.
5. Grind the inside smooth.

CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the lift chains using the adjusting nuts (1) so that the
distance between the base plate and the lift truck is 10 mm
when the stand is in the lowest position. Both lift chains must
be adjusted the same.

To adjust:
- Raise the lift truck 50 mm.
- Place a spacer 10 mm on both sides (1).
- Lower the lift truck so that it rests on the spacer.
- Tension (or slacken) so that both lift chains have the same
tension using the nuts (2).

2. Lock the lower adjusting nut (5) for the lift chain.
3. Raise the truck, preferably with load.
4. Tighten the nut (3) and lock with the nut (2).

CHAIN INSPECTION - WEAR

WARNING
If the chain breaks, the load can fall
uncontrollably and cause damage.
Risk of serious injury or fatality.
It is of the utmost importance that the chain is
inspected regularly.
Always replace the chain if in doubt.
Always replace the entire length of the lift chains. Do not cut or
rivet lift chains.

1. Raise the truck without load.

2. Measure the chain over the 25 links that first (and most often )
break above the idler pulley. Extension is greatest there.
3. Compare with the value for relevant truck size according to
Table 3 on page 25. The chain must not have stretched more
than 3 %, calculated from its original length.
4. Replace the chain if extension is greater than 3 %.
NOTE!
Local legislations, or if security is is based on one chain, can demand
that the chain is changed when prolonged by 2%.

5. Check that:
- No pins in the outer washers are loose or turned.
- No cracks are visible in any of the washers (link section).
- There is no mechanical damage.
- The lift chain is not rusty.
- The lift chain bends easily over the idler pulley (it does not
stick when bent).
If the chain has any of the faults above, replace the chain.

Maintenance, cleaning and lubrication

NOTE!
Service life/extension is completely dependant on how the chain is
maintained. Maintenance intervals are completely dependant on the
environment. In normal conditions the interval is approximately 2000 h.

1. Lower the lift truck to the bottom position.

2. Remove the lift chains from the mast, see section “Removing
standard mast”.
3. Clean the entire length of the lift chains properly.
4. Lubricate the lift chains with light oil or chain spray.
5. Install the chain upside down, inside out.

LIFT TRUCK

REMOVING LIFT TRUCK

NOTE!
It is easiest to remove the lift truck with the forks installed.

1. Place the forks in the fork compartments or in some form of

load to secure them.
2. Lower the inner mast until the lift chains slacken.
3. Pull out the pins for the lift chains.
4. Secure the chains to prevent them from falling over the idler
pulley.
5. Remove the hydraulic hoses by the lift truck and plug the ends.
6. Secure the hoses to prevent them from falling over the idler
pulley.
7. Tilt the mast to take the load off the rollers.

8. Carefully raise the inner mast whilst carefully watching the

chains and hoses.

9. When lowest part of the inner mast has passed the reels, the
truck reverses and the inner mast is lowered.

INSTALLING LIFT TRUCK

Installing is in reverse order to removal.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING MAST WHEEL AND

SUPPORT REEL
To remove and install the mast wheel and support reel, see section
“Mast wheel” and section “Side support reel”.

Shim the support reel for the lift truck according to corresponding
instructions for “Shimming and measuring mast”. Measure the
a-dimension against the inner mast.

 Forks

FORKS

MARKING, FORKS
Each fork is stamped (marked) (1) with information about
thickness and the capacity of the fork. The marking is on the side
of the shaft.

Example:
6000/6350x600x60

6000 = The fork’s capacity with a safety factor of 3 with the

indicated centre of gravity distance.
6350 = The fork’s capacity with a safety factor of 2.834 with the
indicated centre of gravity distance.
600 = Centre of gravity distance (Tp).
60 = Original thickness of the fork blade.

WEAR, FORKS
Check that the thickness of the blade (3) is not less than 90 % of
the stamped thickness (1).

1. Stamp, fork thickness

2. Shaft
3. The thickness of the blade must not be less than
90 % of the stamped thickness
4. Fork taper

DEFORMATION, FORKS
Check that the angle between blade and shaft is 90°.
Check the fork blade’s out-of-true.

CRACK FORMATION, FORKS

Check for crack formation at the points exposed to the most stress.
Check welds (1) and fork base (2).
Carry out checks regularly according to local regulations, or every
2000 hours.

1. Welds
2. Fork base
