5-10t Internal Combustion Counterbalance Forklift Truck Operation & Maintenance Manual
9.5 Mounting Positions of Rollers
There are 3 kinds of rollers for lifting system, i.e. main roller, side roller unit, and side roller,
respectively mounted on the inside and outer masts as well as the fork carriage. The mounting layout
for 5-10t rollers is largely identical but with minor differences, respectively represented in Fig 9-5,
Fig 9-6, and Fig 9-7. The main roller bears the main load in the front and rear parts of forklift truck,
nonadjustable generally, while the side roller bears the lateral load, generally able for adjustment of
left-side and right-side clearances using unit of adjusting shims, for the inner mast and the fork
carriage to move freely.
