Disclosed is a full free-lift triplex forklift mast assembly with increased operator forward view, including an outer mast, a middle mast, an inner mast and a carriage. The carriage includes a pair of lift cylinders, located rearwardly of the outer mast and mounted on top of lower cross-tie, which upon commands from the operator extend or retract, thus move the middle mast accordingly in vertical direction without the lift cylinders obstructing the space between the inner mast profiles. Mechanisms are also provided such that the inner mast, the carriage and free-lift chain pulleys can be moved in a vertical direction while providing maximized forward visibility through the mast assembly.
