A forklift truck apparatus (10) has a frame (14) for mounting to a forklift mechanism of a forklift truck (12). The apparatus (10) includes a beam (16) having a longitudinal axis mounted to the frame (14) so as to be displaceable relative to the frame in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam (16), and drive means (18, 20) operable to displace said beam (16) at a velocity which is a) proportional to and b) opposite in direction to the velocity of a movement of the forklift truck (12) when the frame (14) is mounted thereto. The apparatus (10) further has a torque transfer mechanism (50) for capturing a rotational driving force generated by a wheel (54), which in use is selectively engageable with the ground so as to rotate upon movement of the truck (12), and applies said force to the drive means (18, 20) to displace the beam (16).
