Just to add a little bit more to the explanation, it is important to say full free lift means the fork carriage will travel all the way up the closed mast before the height of the mast is increased.............important if used in low doorways or under a mezanine floor. Part free lift. The mast will extend a short distance after the fork carriage is lifted which imediately increases the height of the top of the mast.

Limited Free Lift is usually no more than about 6 inches and there is no free lift cylinder.

Full Free Lift means that the truck has a free lift cylinder.
