Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a forklift truck of the type adapted to be transported on a carrying vehicle and comprising a wheeled chassis mounting an upright mast carrying forks and means for altering the reach of the forks relative to the mast to remove and place loads on a raised platform.
  • the chassis is of a U-shape and the upright mast is mounted on a carriage which can be reciprocated forwards and backwards within the chassis frame.
  • the mast can also be shifted sidewards relative to the chassis.
  • Such forklift trucks are called “piggy-back" forklifts or “truck mounted” forklifts. Because of the fact that they are transported on other vehicles and trailers, they are, of necessity, of lightweight construction. A problem arises when they have to load and unload onto platforms where added reach and capacity is required. It is well known to have forklift trucks with means for altering the reach of the forks relative to the mast, either by providing a pantograph linkage or other mechanism between a fork carriage supporting the forks and the mast. Another arrangement comprises using extendable or telescopic forks to provide the reach. Various other arrangements have been provided.
  • a further problem with the additional loading is that, when the forks are extended, this causes the mast to bear against the platform making it virtually impossible to tilt or side-shift the mast making it very difficult to remove loads from platforms. Further, any form of side shift of the mast becomes almost impossible because the load is such, very often, to bear the forks down against the platform and effectively jam the forks.
  • Various arrangements have been provided to overcome these problems, including the provision of rollers beneath the forks, however, while these solutions have afforded some advantages, they have not allowed the forklift truck to operate in the correct manner. The problem is that the forklift tends to tip under the load. Anything which would prevent this is desirable.
  • the present invention is directed towards overcoming these problems.
  • the contact surface of the rest support is substantially vertically in line with the foremost contact between the chassis and the ground.
  • the contact surface of the rest support is rearward of the foremost contact between the chassis and the ground.
  • the rest support may be tilted slightly forwards so that in the operative position and prior to full contact with the platform, the contact surface is inclined forwardly.
  • the rest support comprises an upright bar mounted on the chassis.
  • the rest support may comprises a bar pivotally mounted with the respect to the chassis and a ram connected between the bar and the chassis for raising and lowering the bar.
  • the rest support comprises:-
  • connection means may be provided for releasably connecting the ram to the chassis, the connection means comprising a hook mounted on the end of the ram for engagement with a transversely arranged frame locking pin mounted above and spaced-apart from the chassis.
  • locking means may be provided for retaining the base frame in an upright storage position on the chassis.
  • the chassis is of a U-shape comprising a base frame mounting a rear steering wheel or wheels with a mast carriage containing the mast, and a pair of forwardly projecting side frames, each side frame mounting a front wheel and a rest support.
  • the means for altering the reach of the forks may comprise extendable forks, pantograph linkage or any other type of extended reach device which extends the forks away from the mast.
  • a forklift truck adapted for carrying on a vehicle, indicated generally by the reference numeral 1, loading a platform, in this case, a trailer 2 with a load 3.
  • the forklift 1 has a U-shaped chassis comprising a base frame 4 mounting a rear steering wheel 5 and a pair of forwardly projecting side frames 6 each mounting a front wheel 7.
  • the forklift 1 mounts an upright mast 8 carrying forks, in this case, extendable forks 9, which allow for the extension of the forks 9 relative to the mast 8 to be altered.
  • a drive station 10 and a motor 11 are also shown.
  • the upright mast 8 is mounted on a mast carriage 12 which is movable forwards and backwards within the U-shaped chassis.
  • a side-shift mechanism namely a hydraulic ram 13 is provided to side-shift the mast 8 on the carriage 12.
  • the mast 8 is shown in its extended position in all the Figs., except Figs. 7 and 8, where it is shown extended and retracted to lie rearwardly of the position, illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, to rest between the side frames 6.
  • Mounted on each side frame 6 is a platform engaging load rest support, indicated generally by the reference numeral 15.
  • Ground engaging stabilising jack legs 19 are provided. Ideally, the jack legs 19 are configured to engage the ground in a position forward of the contact surface of the rest support with the platform.
  • the rest support 15 comprises a base frame 16 mounted by a pivot mount 17 having a locking pin 18 (shown in more detail in Fig. 4(b)) for storing the rest support 15 in an upright position.
  • a bar 20 is pivotally mounted at 21 on the base frame 16 and in turn mounts a ram 22 pivotally connected thereto at 23.
  • the bar 20 of the rest support 15 provides a contact surface 24 for the rest support 15.
  • the ram 22 mounts at its other end a hook 25, shown in more detail in Figs. 5 and 6, for engagement with a frame locking pin 27 on the side frame 6.
  • the hook 25 and pin 27 form a connection means, indicated generally by the reference numeral 26.
  • the platform namely, the trailer 2 also offers or provides a facing surface to engage against the contact surface 24.
  • This facing surface is identified by the letter Y as it is not a fixed surface but depends on the position of the forklift 1 relative to the platform and can vary in use.
  • FIGs. 7 and 8 there is illustrated the various steps of the operation of the forklift. Each of the positions is identified by a circled numeral in the drawing.
  • step No. 1 the forklift 1 is driven in the direction of the platform, namely, the trailer 2.
  • step No. 2 the side rests 15 are shown being raised.
  • step No. 3 the side rests 15 are shown fully raised.
  • step No. 4 the mast carriage 12 is moved out, the forklift 1 is offered up against the platform 2 and the jack legs 19 are lowered.
  • step No. 5 the forks 9 are extended under the load 3.
  • step No. 6 the load 3 is retracted by contracting the forks 9.
  • step No. 7 the mast 8-is retracted within the chassis.
  • the rest supports 15 are lowered in step No. 8.
  • the jack legs 19 are raised in step No. 9 and then, in step No. 10, the forklift 1 is driven away from the platform 2 for transport of the load 3.
  • Fig. 9 in which parts similar to those described, with reference to the previous drawings, are identified by the same reference numerals, however, substantial portions of both the platform, namely the trailer 2 and the forklift 1, are not shown.
  • the contact surface 24 makes contact with the platform 2 along a line or contact area, namely the facing surface Y.
  • the jack leg 19 contacts the ground along another contact area, identified by the reference letter X. There is a spacing or offset a between the two contact surfaces X and Y.
  • the contact surface at X is forward of the contact surface at Y.
  • a load 3 which would tend to cause the forklift 1 to pivot in the direction of the arrow A, acts on the forklift 1
  • the resultant reaction identified by the arrow B, which will be about the contact at Y, will be to lock the forklift 1 against the platform 2 and thus prevent the forklift 1 from tipping.
  • both the weight of the forklift 1 and the platform 2 counteract tipping of the forklift 1. Where the platform 2 is a trailer, then this is just simply the weight of the trailer about the wheels most remote from the forklift 1 or where it is a rigid platform, it is the whole platform itself.
  • the jack legs 19 it is not necessary that the jack legs 19 be always placed so that their contact surface engages a ground at a position forward of the contact surface of the rest support with the platform 2 as the force of the rest support 15 against the platform will lock them together which would be contrary to best practice. However, it is preferable that it should do so. In many instances, it will be more than likely almost coincident therewith which will, in practice, due to unevenness of grounds, etc., cause the forklift 1 to be rigidly held in position. When the jack leg 19 is somewhat behind the contact surface of the rest support with the platform, for example, where there were no jack legs 19 used and one is depending on the wheels of the forklift 1, the contact surface would provide additional support.
  • the platform being loaded will be a trailer or a truck, the tyres of which may prevent the jack legs being placed in the optimum position.
  • the jack legs will only be level with the tyres.
  • rest support can be of many forms.
  • FIGs. 10 and 11 there is illustrated an alternative construction of load rest support, again indicated generally by the reference numeral 15, in which parts similar to those described with reference to the previous drawings, are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the bar 20 is pivotally mounted at 28 on the side frame 6 and the ram 22 is now pivotally mounted at 29, also on the side frame 6.
  • the rest supports are permanently mounted in position.
  • This construction can only be used when a particular form of mounting on the carrying truck allows this. It will be appreciated that it is a simpler construction than the embodiment previously described.
  • the bar 20 is inclined or tilted slightly forwards, in practice, of the order of 2° to the vertical. In use, the operation of the jack legs tilt the machine slightly and this inclination of the bar ensures better contact with the platform.
  • Fig. 12 there is illustrated an alternative construction of forklift, indicated generally by the reference numeral 30, in which parts similar to those described, with reference to the previous drawings, are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the means for altering the reach of the forks 9 relative to the mast 8 are provided by a pantograph linkage, indicated generally by the reference numeral 31.
  • the forks 9 are mounted on a carriage 32 which is supported by the pantograph linkage 31.
