What are the differences between 2- & 3-stage masts?

The main difference between a 2- and a 3-stage mast is the additional mast section.This allows for higher lift heights in most cases. In areas with limited height, 3-stage masts are beneficial thanks to a lower collapsed mast height. With a 2-stage mast the visibility of the surroundings and the load is slightly better compared to a 3-stage mast. Our counterbalanced trucks are available with both 2- and 3-stage masts, with and without free lift, to match your load handling requirements.
