Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a forklift capable of being transported by a trailer truck transport vehicle or semi-trailer by being fixed to the chassis thereof.
  • Such attachment devices are described in the documents FR 2.298.454, US 429.357 and EP 0.643.009, they include two parallel runners secured to the chassis of the vehicle, and intended to accommodate the fork of the forklift, the actuation of the fork in the direction of descent for lifting said forklift from the ground, while clamping means used to secure said forklift to the chassis of said vehicle.
  • forklifts comprising a mast on which a fork can move, and where said fork is foldable on said mast, itself foldable on the chassis of the carriage, so that said forklifts are suitable for be transported under the chassis of a transport vehicle of the type truck.
  • the forklift proposed in document EP 0.250.018 also has drawbacks, in particular due to its very rudimentary design. Indeed, after folding the fork and mast on the chassis, the assembly is placed transversely under the chassis of the transport vehicle, rolled on two rails suspended under the latter. Or the height of the carriage folded elevator remains important, so most transport vehicles are not suitable for being fitted with such a forklift.
  • the forklift of GB 2.014.946 allows to remedy partially to this drawback, the mast is indeed secured to the chassis via a deformable parallelogram, in so that after hanging the mast horizontally under the vehicle transport, it is possible to position said chassis at the same level as said mast, thus retracting the directional wheel drive, the other wheels however projecting.
  • the forklift proposed in this document presents the downside of a complex design that is likely to affect its robustness, which limits its use.
  • the present invention aims to provide a forklift able to be transported by a transport vehicle of the truck type trailer or semi-trailer while being fixed under the chassis thereof, and making it possible to remedy the various aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the forklift object of the present invention comprises a chassis with a base carried by wheels or small tracks, at least one of which is directional, a mast along which can move, under the action of a motorization assembly carried by said chassis, a substantially perpendicular fork to said mast, said fork being foldable against said mast, which is foldable against said base so that it can be accommodated under the chassis of a transport vehicle, which is provided with means allowing to maintain said chassis there, and it is characterized essentially in that it includes means for vertically move said wheels or small tracks by report to said chassis, so that they can be retracted above the lower plane of the chassis base.
  • the displacement of each of the wheels is carried out by means of an independent hydraulic cylinder.
  • the non-directional wheels are each mounted in a yoke suitable for pivoting, by means of a transverse pivot, on the base of the chassis and under the action of a cylinder connecting said yoke to said chassis eccentrically by report to said pivot.
  • the fork comprises a sliding mounted element on the mast, at the base of which a joint carries two teeth, said articulation allowing said teeth to describe an angle of 90 ° to take two extreme positions, namely perpendicular said element, and parallel to it.
  • its chassis comprises externally and laterally two angles intended, after the folding of the mast, to take place on parallel slides that includes below and transversely the chassis of the vehicle.
  • the base of the chassis is U-shaped, that is to say that it has two parallel arms connected by a cross member, said arms each comprising a wheel, while said cross member carries the power unit and rests on a steerable wheel.
  • the mast is secured to the cross member of the base of the chassis through a hinge allowing it to take two extreme positions, namely parallel to the arms of said base, and perpendicular to the plane defined said arms.
  • Such a joint still allows the lifting assembly to slide laterally with respect to the chassis via, in particular, a jack placed horizontally, this for facilitate the positioning of pallets on said vehicle transport.
  • the cross member of the base of the chassis consists two profiles capable of sliding one inside the other, or one against the other.
  • the forklift is thus of variable width, which allows reserve, under the chassis of the transport vehicle, a very small location, and when deployed, to increase its width and therefore its stability.
  • the mast is slidably mounted along the cross member from the base of the chassis.
  • the chassis comprises means making it possible to block the mast in an upright position after its straightening and displacement along the cross member of the base of said chassis.
  • a forklift 1 according to the invention. It comprises a chassis 2 comprising a base 20 U-shaped, that is to say comprising two arms 21 connected by a cross 22.
  • a mast 24 capable of take two extreme positions, namely vertical, perpendicular to the plane defined by the arms 21, and, shown in broken lines in Figure 1, horizontal, parallel audit plan.
  • this assistance consists of a jack 25, visible in FIG. 1, and connecting the mast 24 to a part of the chassis 2.
  • a fork 3 can move along the mast 24 by through a conventional means known per se, not shown, hydraulic chain type.
  • the fork 3 thus comprises a element 30 slidably mounted on the mast 24 and at the base of which two teeth 31 are pivotally mounted at an angle limited to 90 °, on a pivot 32, between a position parallel to the mast 24, shown at broken lines in Figure 1, and a perpendicular position at mast 24.
  • the chassis 2 is carried by three wheels, a wheel 25 at the end of each of the arms 21, and a wheel 26 secured to an arm 27 of swiveling operation by pivoting on the chassis 20 according to a vertical axis.
  • wheels can be provided with small tracks.
  • the wheel 26 or the track swivel can, advantageously, be operated from a driving comprising a seat and a steering wheel.
  • the forklift 1 as described above can be used from the same way as a conventional forklift, it allows to grab a load by the teeth 31 of the fork 3, to lift and lower this load along the mast 24, and transfer it in rolling the forklift 1 on its wheels 25 and 26 while directing it by the pivoting of the wheel 26.
  • the displacement of the fork 3 along the mast 24 and the feed the actuator 25 are produced by means of a motorization assembly 10, visible in FIG. 5, comprising a hydraulic pump driven by a visible thermal or electric motor, or by compressed air.
  • the crosspiece 22 consists of two profiles mounted sliding one inside the other, or one against the other, so that the two arms 21 can be moved apart or close together.
  • the carriage 1 is very narrow and can be accommodated in a reduced space.
  • the spacing of the arms 21 and therefore of the 25 wheels increases the stability of the forklift 1.
  • the mast 24 can be moved, by sliding along the crosspiece 22, for example.
  • the forklift 1, or more exactly crossbar 22 or one of two sections which make up the latter include blocking means allowing, after separation of the arms 21 and straightening of the mast 24, the sliding of the latter on the crosspiece 22, then its maintenance in the vertical position, said blocking means being able to consist in profiles parallel to the crosspiece 22, between which can slide the mast 24 erected vertically.
  • the wheels 25, which are non-directional and only one of which is visible, are each mounted in a yoke 4 able to pivot at the end of the arm 21 on a transverse pivot 40, under the action a jack 41 connecting the yoke 4 to the arm 21, so as to make vary the position of the wheel 25 relative to the plane defined by the arm 21.
  • the wheel 26 is also connected to the chassis 2 by through a jack 28 with an axis perpendicular to the defined plane by the arms 21, also making it possible to vary the position of the wheel 26 relative to said plane.
  • the cylinders 41 and 28 are advantageously independent, in so that allows by playing on the re-entry of one compared to the exit of one or the other, and conversely, to move the forklift on a slope while maintaining the load transported substantially horizontally.
  • the forklift 1 is folded up as shown in FIG. 4, the operating arm 27 being further oriented parallel to the cross 22.
  • the chassis 50 of the vehicle 5 is equipped below and transversely of two parallel slides 51, intended for support the folded forklift 1 via two angles 29, also visible in FIG. 2, which comprises externally and longitudinally each of the arms 21.
  • blocking means allow fix the forklift 1 on the slides 51, these means of blockages are not necessarily particularly robust, since the sliding direction of the forklift 1 in the runners 51 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the vehicle 5.
  • the slides 51 can be movable by sliding on the chassis 50 while remaining in solidarity with it so that they can form an oblique ramp allowing the carriage to be mounted on it elevator 1.
  • the forklift 1 according to the invention thus makes it possible to carry out all the handling of a conventional forklift, and advantageously it can be stored under the chassis of a vehicle transport without violating the highway code.
