Abstract

A lift truck, in particular for stacking boats, comprises a self -propelled main frame (10) with wheels which supports at its rear end a pivotable telescopic boom (30) pivotably supporting a lift assembly (40) made of lift forks (48)bound to a telescopic frame. The truck has an operator cab (60) which can be transversally shifted and lifted, longitudinally extensible stabilizers (21, 22) and wheels which can be independently steered up to 90°. The truck of the invention has a better loading capacity and it allows stacking boats in very narrow storage facilities and it is not bulky, lighter and more versatile with regard to trucks of the background art.
