ABSTRACT:
The four-wheeled lift truck has a tight turning radius and improved stability, and is of the type having front wheels with independent powerplants. The rear turning wheels are mounted below the stems of respective hydraulic jacks that have vertical axes and are rigidly coupled to the chassis of the truck. The hydraulic circuits of the jacks are connected to one another, so that the lowering of one wheel is matched by a rise of the other. The stems of the jacks are interconnected by an articulation mechanism which mutually coordinates the turning angles of the wheels to move the maximum turning center to the intersection between the fixed axis of the front driving wheels and the centerline plane of the truck.
