Abstract: A slope-piling arrangement for a forklift truck in which one of the lifting forks has its vertical leg movably engaged with the fork apron so that the fork leg, during movement relative to the apron, is constrained to move vertically, and in which a power drive mechanism is connected between the apron and the fork for moving the fork relative to the apron.

Abstract: The invention encompasses apparatus for rendering coplanar the end surfaces of all the pieces of timber in a stack of lumber by placing the stack in near vertical position while subjected to slight lateral constraints, and then dropping (or its equivalent) the stack endwise to a foundation to produce a vertically effective impact upon the stack sufficient to cause the various timbers to move longitudinally relative to each other against the friction between the timbers, thereby to move the lower ends of all the timbers into a common plane. The stack is then returned to a horizontal position in such a manner that the timbers do not move longitudinally relative to each other.

Abstract: In a forklift truck, at least one, and preferably both, of the horizontal load-supporting tines, which extend forward in cantilever fashion from a vertically movable fork apron, are provided with load-engaging cover members which are selectively movable along the lengthwise of the tines. The cover members are movable independently of each other along their respective forks so that the angular relationship of a load supported on the forks may be adjusted relative to the length of the truck about an axis passing vertically through the load, thereby making it possible to precisely adjust the position of a load supported by the truck relative to a foundation upon which the load is to be supported without moving the truck per se.
