ABSTRACT:
A lift truck in which a steering column or pylon houses a steering post connected to a hydraulic steering component. A locking device which is manually operable by the operator is adapted to lock the steering column in an operative driving position, the steering column being adapted to be actuated forwardly in a pivotal motion to a non-operative position by a gas pressure spring when the locking device is released by the operator, thus moving it to a forward position wherein it provides an improved access path to the operator's compartment and wherein it does not obstruct the vertical path of movement of a drive component when the latter is deposited in or removed from its generally central mounting position in the lift truck.
