Court case about telescopic forklifts.

"Les vérins fabriqués et livrés par AAA ont été intégrés par BBB à partir de septembre 2014 sur une gamme de chariots télescopiques référencée YYYZZZ. Ces engins sont destinés principalement à un usage agricole et sont conçus pour une durée de vie de 15.000 heures. Les premiers chariots télescopiques, contenant un vérin d'inclinaison fabriqué par AAA, ont été mis en service à partir d'octobre 2016.
Les vérins sont une pièce à commande hydraulique, qui se situe à l'extrémité des flèches de chariots télescopiques fabriqués par BBB. Ce vérin permet l'inclinaison des accessoires fixés sur le tablier de l'engin, il est composé d'un tube (corps du vérin) et d'un piston."

chariot téléscopique is "telescopic forklift"
vérin d'inclinaison is "tilt cylinder"

There's a diagram in French here showing what part the tablier is : https://www.systemed.fr/materiel-d-atelier-protection/chario...

I think it might be "apron" or "fork attachment" possibly.

HTH/Fwiw I'd say "carriage" for tablier, the backrest is attached to the carriage.
Backrest would be "dosseret d'appui/de protection", it's usually an accessory as some are removable.

Load Backrest

Based entirely on the first reference I found, but the passage with the picture is hard to find so...

Load Backrest

The load backrest is a very important part of any forklift. It is attached to the forklift carriage and is responsible for restraining the load when the load is tilted rearward or upward. The forklift’s backrest also aids in protecting the mast and the cylinder hoses.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Libby Cohen : The load backrest prevents items from sliding, but everything is still attached to the carriage. See: https://www.gwequip.com/anatomy-of-a-forklift-truck/#:~:text...

Note that the hydraulic cylinder would be attached to the carriage, which is designed to withstand the forces involved in raising/tilting the forks/load, and never to the backrest which is a lightweight structure designed only to stop the load from sliding off the forks..

Inviting you to check out 'telehandler' (etc.)

Note from asker:
Thanks, yes, I don't think "telescopic forklift" really conveys what they are... and didn't really find what the "most common" name in En might be. They look fantastic fun to use though, amazing, if you have loads of things to shift. Balance must be quite an issue, but I suppose there must be some nice electronics to keep within safe parameters. "Telescopic handler" it is.
Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree Tony M : Yes, I also know these as 'teleboom loaders'

agree Daryo : yes, "telescopic handler" is more accurate. BTW there is not much "nice electronics" can do against a careless operator.
