Device for lifting and transporting loads

The invention relates to a device for lifting and transporting loads, such as a forklift, which consists of two Extension arms with bottom-side wheels and a housing connecting the extension arms to accommodate the drive units formed 1st. A guide frame is perpendicular to the housing

attached, which is based on the extension arm on which a with a fork, platform or the like. Equipped lifting frame 1 is mounted so that it can be moved in height by means of a lifting device such as a cylinder, rack or the like.

The steering of such a forklift is one of one vertical, arranged in the housing and connected to the drive wheel pivot axis formed on the above the Housing attached to a pivot lever 1st. A control head for the lifting and lowering movement and also for the travel drive is attached to the free end of the pivoting lever.

The swivel axis is in the corner area of the almost recktecklgen housing arranged perpendicular to the drive wheel, so that by turning the pivot axis too the drive wheel is moved.

In the previously known forklifts, the control head is on the opposite free end of the pivot axis Swivel lever arranged on the front side, which is formed by a command head? On which after both seldom each a handle for the operator protrudes.

Such an arrangement of the control head has the disadvantage that the possibility of pivoting movement in narrow passages such as shelf aisles of spare parts stores or the like The drive wheel side is very small and thus the laterally protruding part of the control head with handle still has the swiveling path susStzllch restricted

-3-

Another disadvantage is the design of the handles for the operator at risk of injuring their hands during the pivoting movement on shelf walls or the like.

The object of the invention is to create a control head which eliminates such deficiencies and is simple and cost-saving to manufacture.

According to the invention, this object is achieved with a device for lifting and transporting loads, such as forklifts, with one on the side of the device on one in the housing part arranged drive wheel acting pivot axis and a pivot lever attached to this above the device with The control head is released by virtue of the fact that the control head is at the free end of the swivel lever opposite the swivel axis is arranged at right angles and offset in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle towards the center of the device.

Further features of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

The scope of protection of the invention extends not only to the features of the individual claims, but also to their Combination.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a forklift laterally offset arranged control head and

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same forklift truck between two shelf walls.

A forklift truck Io has two extension arms 11 on which two wheels 12 are arranged on the underside and on which a housing 13 connecting the arms 11 is arranged at the end is attached to the cantilever arms 11.

In the housing 13 there is a drive motor I ¹ I for the lifting movement of the lifting device attached to the housing 13, such as hydraulic cylinder 15, rack or the like. This hydraulic cylinder 15 cooperates with a lifting frame 16 on which a fork 17, platform or the like is attached and mounted in a vertical guide frame 18 such that it can be displaced in height.

»Achdecf the forklift io the load by means of the fork 17, Platform or the like. Has taken up a lever 19 arranged above the housing 13, for example in the direction of the lifting cylinder 15, which acts on the lifting cylinder 15 and moves the lifting frame 16 with fork 17 upwards.

When the lever 19 is actuated in the opposite direction, the fork 17 is correspondingly moved downwards.

Such a forklift truck Io is steered via a vertical pivot axis 2o arranged in the corner area of the housing 13, the pivot axis 2o in the bottom area with a drive wheel 12 and is connected at the upper end to a pivot lever 21 pointing in the opposite direction of the fork 17.

The motor 14, which is provided for the drive, is switched by the operator via a control head 22 attached to the front end 21a of the pivot lever 21. A motor (not shown) provided for the lifting movement of the fork 17 is also operated from the control head 22, so that a simple and safe operation of such a device is given.

This control head 22 is of a U-bracket 23 with a die Leg 23a of the bracket 23 connecting handle bar 24 is formed, on which a switching head 25 with, for example, laterally in the middle arranged switches 26 is attached. In this case, the U-bracket 23 advantageously serves as hand protection. The handle bar 21 is through the switching head 25 in each case a right and left handle. The handles can also be designed as rotatable switching elements.

A particular advantage of the invention is seen in the fact that the control head 22 is attached to the front end 21a of the pivot lever in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to the center offset at right angles to the U-bracket 23 and thus the pivoting path of the control lever 21 in narrow passages, such as between two shelf walls 27 or like enlarged 1st.

-6-

The enlarged swivel range of the control head enables better and more precise driving into narrow passages guaranteed, which are only about 80 cm wide, for example, while such a forklift truck has a total width of approx. 78 cm.

Such an arrangement of the control head 22 is simple, easy to operate and is safe against injuries meets all requirements.
