Masts, in the context of forklift attachments, are the vertical assembly on the forklift that does the work of raising, lowering, and tilting loads. These are critical components that contribute directly to the forklift's function, efficiency, and safety. There are various types of masts available in the market including simplex (single-stage), duplex (two-stage), and triplex (three-stage). Each type corresponds to the maximum height it can raise a load. For instance, a triplex mast can lift loads to greater heights than simplex or duplex masts. Also known as uprights, these accessories can be found on every type of forklift, including reach trucks, order pickers, and pallet jacks. When purchasing masts, considerations include the type of work to be done, load capacity, and the space in which the forklift will be operated. For instance, operations with lower rack heights might opt for simplex masts, while those requiring high lifting would often require a triplex mast. It's crucial to understand your specific needs before selecting a suitable forklift mast.
