What is the purpose of the transport beam beneath the lift arm assemblies on the MJ-1 series lift truck?

The transport beam beneath the lift arm assemblies on the MJ-1 series lift truck has a critical role in providing structural integrity and enhancing the overall functionality of the lift mechanism. Specifically, this beam acts as a support that distributes the load more evenly across the lift arms. By doing so, it helps to relieve some of the hydraulic pressure that would otherwise be exerted solely on the hydraulic system during lifting operations.

This added support allows the lift truck to handle heavier loads without undue strain on the hydraulic components, which can extend the operational lifespan of the equipment. This design feature contributes to both safety and efficiency, making the lift operation more stable and reliable. The transport beam is integral to the lift truck's ability to perform its function effectively, ensuring that heavy munitions can be moved with precision and minimal risk of malfunction.
