ABSTRACT

A deck apparatus for a lift device includes a frame, a deck, a member, and
multiple rails. The deck is pivotally coupled with the frame. The member is
coupled with the frame and is configured to translate along the frame in an
upwards direction or a downwards direction. The rails are coupled to an upper
end of the member. The rails define a perimeter and are coupled with the upper
end of the member at a pair of corners. The rails include outer members and an
extendable rail. The extendable rail includes ends configured to be received
within inner volumes of the outer members. The extendable rail is configured
to be extended from or retracted into the outer members to adjust a length of
the perimeter of the rails.
