Quad mast

A quad mast is a lift truck mast that has four sections. The outer section is mounted to the lift truck. The first intermediate section telescopes within the outer section. The second intermediate section telescopes within the first intermediate section. The inner section telescopes within the second intermediate section. The intermediate mast sections and the inner section extend as the lift cylinders extend. These masts are usually equipped with a center cylinder to allow the fork carriage to elevate some distance before the mast sections begin to extend. The fork carriage rides within the inner section.

Quad masts provide the shortest lowered height for a given lift height. These masts are usually used where severe height restrictions are present.^[1]
