The term “carriage plate” typically refers to the part of a forklift that holds and supports the forks. It is located at the front of the forklift and is attached to the mast. The forks are mounted on the carriage plate, and the entire assembly is raised and lowered by the hydraulic system of the forklift. The carriage plate plays a crucial role in lifting and transporting loads, and its position allows for the forks to be raised and lowered as needed for various material handling tasks.
