ABSTRACT:
A load stabilizer apparatus for a forklift mast includes a mounting member attached to a cross member of a lift carriage of the mast, a stabilizer frame member hingedly connected to the mounting member and pivotable between a stabilizing position and a stowed position, a pair of load stabilizer arms extending from the stabilizer frame member, and load engaging pads mounted on the outer ends of the stabilizer arms. The apparatus is retained in the stabilizing position by a latch pawl which releasably engages an edge of the stabilizer frame member. The apparatus includes a swing control bracket which engages a lower surface of the lift carriage cross member to prevent the apparatus from striking components of the lift carriage when the apparatus is released from the stabilizing position.
