Still talking about forklifts here.
This is from a list of dimensions (in mm)
I'm not sure of how to translate "libera" together with "alzata" - would it be the partial clearance perhaps?

Thanks again!

nominal free lift.
Explanation:
a the forks on a fork lift will raise a little to clear the ground and the inner frame to which they are attached does not lift out of its position. this is called "nominal free lift".
When you have a "grande alzata libera" = full free lift, the forks will lift half way through the frame of the mast before the actual frame start moving. Useful when you are working in a container. Come back if not clear.
