[Lift trucks.] "Free lift" is the amount of movement the carriage can make before the cylinder yoke starts lifting the mast.

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
