Elevations of a lift truck load carrier relative to shelves of a storage rack are accurately indicated by photosensor means on the load carrier operated by light reflected from reflectors on the storage rack.

Photosensor signals operate a clutch which connects the reel shaft to rotate a potentiometer over a limited range of heights surrounding the desired load carrier heights for each shelf in a vertical stack of shelves.
