ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank mount for forklift trucks is adapted to hold a fuel tank over the top of a counterweight in a manner that the tank may be easily lifted up and lowered down. The fuel tank mount includes a swing arm replaceably carrying the fuel tank and mounted to the counterweight for swinging movement about a tilted pivot axis between a home position wherein the fuel tank is held over and laterally across the counterweight, a neutral position wherein the fuel tank remains at its highest elevation and a tank changing position wherein the fuel tank is oriented substantially vertically. The pivot axis remains tilted both forwards at a first tilt angle, e.g., 26 degrees, and outboards at a second tilt angle, e.g., 25 degrees, with respect to a vertical axis. A latch is provided to keep the swing arm in the home position against unwanted swinging movement into the neutral and the tank changing positions.
