[Fork Truck Construction. ] An important operational aspect of mast assemblies is freelift. Freelift is defined as the vertical distance forks can raise above the floor before the mast begins to extend from its collapsed height. 1, record 1, English, - freelift

[Lift trucks.] "Free lift" is the amount of movement the carriage can make before the cylinder yoke starts lifting the mast. A standard upright usually has just enough free lift to raise the load off the floor so the truck can go through a doorway without the top of the mast striking the door. 3, record 1, English, - freelift
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
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.

On appelle levée libre l'élévation maximale de la fourche, qui peut être obtenue sans augmentation de la hauteur hors tout du chariot. [...] L'avantage de la levée libre est d'avoir la même hauteur hors tout de l'appareil à vide et avec une charge, ce qui est important pour le passage sous les obstacles bas (portes, points bas de tuyauterie ou de plafond). 2, record 1, French, - lev%C3%A9e%20libre

On dit qu'un montant élévateur est à levée libre totale lorsque le tablier porte fourche peut s'élever jusqu'au sommet du montant fixe avant que ne démarre le mouvement du montant mobile, donc que n'augmente la hauteur hors tout de l'appareil. L'obtention d'une levée libre totale exige l'utilisation de deux vérins au moins, l'un pour l'élévation du tablier porte fourche et l'autre pour l'élévation du montant mobile. Ces deux vérins peuvent être séparés ou emboîtés l'un dans l'autre. 1, record 3, French, - lev%C3%A9e%20libre%20totale

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. 1, record 4, English, - low%20freelift
