ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a mechanical forklift level indicator. The level indicator includes a first arm pivotally connected at a first end to a body of the forklift and a second arm pivotally connected at a first end thereof to the forklift mast assembly. The first and second arms are pivotally attached to each other at their second ends forming an intermediate pivot. A reference arm is secured to the second end of the first arm to form a fixed angle therewith. The pivoting of the forklift mast assembly will thereby cause relative motion between the second arm and the reference arm indicative of the relative orientation of the forks of the forklift.
