CONT

The mast assembly of the fork truck consists of a steel upright assembly and hydraulic cylinders to provide the lifting capability of the fork truck. The mast consists of stationary outer channels and telescoping inner channels which provide for high lifting capabilities while permitting a low collapsed height. ... Multiple-stage masts increase mast complexity and require more energy than a low freelift design. The most economical mast for general purpose storage and in-plant transportation is a two-stage mast with low freelift.

CONT

The amount of freelift available is dependent on the mast and truck design. Freelift may range from only a few inches on some models to over 60 in. (1500 mm) on the man-up turret truck. Most manufacturers offer trucks with either standard or "high" freelift available.

CONT

High visibility masts - standard, full-free [lift] and full-free triple.

OBS

"free lift": ... the height to which the forks can lift without elevating the mast.
