.~ Having specific load support structure (e.g., forks)
DEFINITION
Classification: 187/237
Having specific load support structure (e.g., forks):
(under subclass 222) Mobile wheeled or tracked apparatus having at least one particular aspect of the load support surface detailed.
(1) Note. The line between an elevator or industrial lift truck proper for this and the indented subclasses and one proper for Class 414, Material or Article Handling, is as follows:
(a)
This subclass and its indents provide for an elevator or industrial lift truck or component thereof when the load is shifted in its entirety in a primary lifting direction from one level to another vertically spaced level and may additionally include (1) mere pivoting or tilting of the load supporting structure for detachment or storage or (2) retaining of a received load on the support surface; and
(b)
Class 414 provides for load engaging structure in which the load support surface travels in a generally vertical primary lift direction and (1) is mounted for movement in a direction other than the primary lift direction (e.g., tilting) or (2) has an additional load handling structure (e.g., conveyor) or (3) is constructed in such a manner that the load support surface is inherently self-charged or self-discharged along the primary lift direction.
