while this invention may be embodied in many different forms , there are described in detail herein a specific preferred embodiment of the invention . this description is an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiment illustrated . in the figure , a low lift truck 10 is depicted , with a drive portion 12 and a load portion 14 . the load portion 14 has a rectangular load frame 16 with lateral supports 18 , 20 and an upper connection brace 22 . the drive portion 12 has at least one steerable driving wheel ( not visible ), as well as a housing 26 , which accommodates driving and steering aggregates ( not shown ). the upper side forms a standing platform 28 for a driver in the rider operation . he / she can find hold on two parallel armrests , in which can be accommodated operational controls for the actuation of the floor conveyor 10 also ( not shown ). a load fork is fixedly connected to the load frame 16 , which is indicated at 32 . frame 16 and load fork 32 can be lifted about a so - called free lift by two parallel arranged electric lifting devices . the electric actuators 24 , 25 are fixed on a not shown wall of the drive portion , and their spindle 27 engages on the connection brace 22 . a mast 29 put over the load frame , which is fixed on the driving portion 16 , holds u - profiles on its inner side 31 , 33 for guiding the load frame 16 . a coupling bar arrangement between the load frame 16 and the drive portion 12 provides that wheels , which are mounted in the fork arms , are moved towards the downside . such a coupling mechanism is also known , and therefore it will not be described in more detail . as can be further recognised in the figure , two rows of three battery cells 38 at a time are arranged in the lower region of the load frame 16 . a further battery cell 40 is arranged in the upper region of the load frame 16 and attached to the connection brace . the seven battery cells in series supply the necessary rated voltage of the vehicle for operating the floor conveyor 10 in the known manner . for instance , the battery cells are lithium cells , which are marked by a relatively low weight , freeness of maintenance , long life and fast charging capability . of course , it is conceivable to arrange all the battery cells 38 , 40 or a part of them on the front side between the load frame 16 and the chassis of the drive portion 12 , instead of the arrangement of the same in the load frame 16 . in this case , they are not lifted together with the load frame 16 when the same is lifted , which is the case in the shown embodiment . the above disclosure is intended to be illustrative and not exhaustive . this description will suggest many variations and alternatives to one of ordinary skill in this art . all these alternatives and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the claims where the term “ comprising ” means “ including , but not limited to ”. those familiar with the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiments described herein which equivalents are also intended to be encompassed by the claims . further , the particular features presented in the dependent claims can be combined with each other in other manners within the scope of the invention such that the invention should be recognized as also specifically directed to other embodiments having any other possible combination of the features of the dependent claims . for instance , for purposes of claim publication , any dependent claim which follows should be taken as alternatively written in a multiple dependent form from all prior claims which possess all antecedents referenced in such dependent claim if such multiple dependent format is an accepted format within the jurisdiction ( e . g . each claim depending directly from claim 1 should be alternatively taken as depending from all previous claims ). in jurisdictions where multiple dependent claim formats are restricted , the following dependent claims should each be also taken as alternatively written in each singly dependent claim format which creates a dependency from a prior antecedent - possessing claim other than the specific claim listed in such dependent claim below . this completes the description of the preferred and alternate embodiments of the invention . those skilled in the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiment described herein which equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the claims attached hereto .
