Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for lifting loads.
  • Lifting means are usually in the form of prongs or forks.
  • the lifting means are brought to the correct height by displacement relative to the lifting frame using cylinders and a chain transmission.
  • EP-A-0367356 discloses a forklift with a reach mechanism comprising a frame, which supports a mast, a load bearer and drive means for moving the load bearer up and downward along the mast.
  • FR-A-2338891 discloses a vehicle provided with a raising and lowering mast assembly, which has a tipping facility.
  • the assembly comprises a number of mast sections.
  • US-A-6135694 discloses a method and apparatus for increasing the speed at which a fork lift truck travels and/or the lowering speed of the truck's forks when the forks are unloaded or substantially unloaded.
  • GB-A-1292056 discloses an industrial lift truck in which the position of a load-supporting structure may be adjusted so that small loads may be lifted to the greatest possible height.
  • the transmission with chains which is used in practice requires additional components such as a pulley which, in view of the often heavy load, must have large dimensions. This large dimensioning also applies for the lifting frame in which the chains and pulleys are mounted. This results in a relatively expensive embodiment, requires additional maintenance and relatively large dimensions of the lifting frame with associated components in the normal direction of travel of such a forklift truck.
  • the present invention has for its object to improve the known device.
  • the present invention provides a device for lifting loads according to claim 1.
  • the placing of one or more cylinders on the outer side of the lifting frame or outer mast also achieves that a less heavy construction can be used for the device, since the varying forces caused by the load to be lifted do not have to be transmitted laterally to the outer side of the device from a cylinder placed in the centre as in conventional devices. A better view of the load by the user is also achieved through this placing of the cylinders on the outer side.
  • the construction of the device according to the present invention also becomes smaller in the normal direction of travel.
  • the lifting member with lifting means can be used to lift the load directly, although an auxiliary member or attachment, such as for instance a shear member, a reach fork or a tipping device can also be used here.
  • one or more intermediate masts or inner masts are provided which are displaceable relative to the lifting frame by means of at least two cylinders placed at a distance from each other close to the uprights of the lifting frame or mast. A greater height over which a load can be lifted can be reached by means of an intermediate mast without the drive-through height of for instance a forklift truck being increased.
  • the cylinders are embodied as double-acting cylinders for controlled movement of the mast relative to the frame in two opposite directions. This achieves that the load can be displaced in controlled and restrained manner not only in upward direction but also in downward direction (so not displaced only as a result of the force of gravity).
  • a control member for coupling the drive of different cylinders.
  • a double extending speed of the mast relative to the lifting frame can hereby be achieved. This increases the handling speed for displacing loads.
  • a smoother extending movement of the masts relative to the lifting frame can be effected by means of the control member. This achieves that the load is lifted in less jolting manner.
  • a shear member which is mounted at one side on the mast and at the other side is fixed to the lifting member.
  • a load displaced by means of lifting means can hereby also be displaced in the normal direction of movement of the device without displacing the device itself.
  • Placing of the cylinders on the outer side of the mast and/or the lifting frame achieves that such a shear member in retracted position is situated almost wholly between the mast and/or the lifting frame, whereby the dimensioning of the whole device remains limited in the normal direction of travel. Due to this limited dimensioning such a device requires a smaller storage space. It is also possible to suffice with a simpler construction.
  • the relative movement of the mast and/or intermediate mast(s) is embodied with a roller guide or a sliding guide.
  • the advantage of the lighter construction according to the invention is that with a sliding guide it is possible to operate up to higher loads of the device compared to known devices.
  • the lifting member is provided with a front mast and is displaceable relative to the front mast by means of one or more cylinders placed on the outer side of the front mast. This achieves that a load displaced with the lifting means can be lifted in simple manner over an obstacle. It is also possible to place such a device on for instance a caterpillar vehicle such that loads can hereby still be lifted from a ground surface.
  • the invention also relates to a forklift truck provided with a device according to the present invention. Loads can hereby be lifted and displaced to a desired position in simple manner.
  • the device according to the present invention can also be provided on already existing forklift trucks.
  • the invention also relates to a rear loader or transportable pallet truck for loading and unloading for instance trucks provided with a device according to the present invention.
  • a transportable pallet truck is located at the rear of trucks and is transported between loading location and unloading location.
  • the absence of chains and pulleys on the device according to the present invention is additionally advantageous in such a transportable pallet truck in respect of the load on such a device during transport and the degree of fouling which can occur during such transport.
  • the invention also relates to a method for lifting loads according to claim 10.
  • the forklift truck as shown in figure 1 is provided with a device according to the invention which will be described in more detail hereinbelow.
  • the device as shown in figure 2 has a lifting frame 2, comprising two uprights 4,6 and one or more transverse connections 8.
  • Intermediate mast 12 can be displaced in height direction relative to lifting frame 2 by means of guides 10 and uprights 4,6.
  • Intermediate mast 12 is displaced relative to lifting frame 2 by means of two cylinders 14,16 placed on the outer side of lifting frame 2 close to uprights 4,6.
  • Cylinders 14,16 are connected on one side to uprights 4,6 of lifting frame 2 and on the other side to connecting part 18 of intermediate mast 12 which connects uprights 20 and 22 on the top side of intermediate mast 12.
  • a connecting part 24 Placed on the underside of intermediate mast 12 is a connecting part 24, on the outer side of which two cylinders 26,28 are placed close to uprights 4,6 and uprights 20,22, which cylinders are connected on the other outer end to the top side of mast 34 by means of supports 30,32.
  • Mast 34 is provided with two uprights 36,38 and an upper connecting part 40 and a lower connecting part 42.
  • Mast 34 is further provided with an upper intermediate rod 44 and a lower intermediate rod 46 on which a shear mechanism 48 is mounted.
  • the other outer end of shear 48 is attached to a front mast 50 comprising two uprights 52,54, an upper connecting part 56 and a lower connecting rod 58.
  • Front mast 50 is further provided with two cylinders 60,62 with which lifting board or fork carrier 64 can be displaced in the height in a manner not shown relative to front mast 50.
  • Cylinders 60,62 hereby move sliding masts 53,55 over uprights 52,54.
  • Lifting board 64 is provided with two forks 66,68 with which the load can be lifted.
  • FIG. 3 shows shear 48 placed between mast 34 and front mast 50.
  • front mast 50 is situated at a distance from mast 34.
  • pivot arms 47,49 By causing pivot arms 47,49 to rotate in opposite directions about their pivot point 51, wherein the upper outer ends of arms 47,49 move in the guides arranged in the respective uprights 36,38 and 52,54, the front mast 50 with the fork carrier is retracted to mast 34.
  • Shear arms 47,49 are situated substantially between uprights 36,38 once the fork carrier has been retracted.
  • Cylinder 60 on the front mast slides the fork carrier downward. In the retracted position this fork carrier is situated in the upper position.
  • cylinder 60 is mounted the other way round so that in a rest position the fork carrier is situated in the lower position.
