ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to fork lift vehicles. Prior art fork lift vehicles have forks which are powered only in the upward direction for lifting loads. Therefore, such vehicles cannot lift themselves upon the back of a truck. Further, such vehicles generally have their front wheels positioned adjacent the rear of the fork to enable the vehicle to place the fork under a load without interference from the front wheels. Such vehicles require heavy counter weights at the rear of the vehicle to prevent forward tilting about the front wheels when heavy loads are carried. The present invention overcomes such problems by providing a fork lift vehicle having a vertically movable fork powered upwardly and downwardly. The vehicle can be mounted on the rear of a truck provided with spaced longitudinal sockets for receiving the fork tines, the fork lift vehicle being capable of elevation and support by the truck by downward force applied on the fork after the tines are positioned in the sockets on the truck. The fork lift vehicle has a pair of forward wheels disposed laterally outwardly from the fork tines. These forward wheels are independently displaceable rearwardly to a point adjacent the rear of the fork prior to location of the tines in the sockets on the truck.
