Definitions

  • the invention relates to an industrial truck with a vehicle body and a driver's workplace arranged within a driver's protection roof for an operator.
  • the operation is done by an operator located within the driver's workplace.
  • the operation can be done in standing as a stationary equipment trucks in standing posture of the operator.
  • generic trucks are known that can be operated both in a sedentary and in a standing posture by the operator.
  • the height of the driver's roof which limits the driver's workplace upwards and forms a protection against falling parts, is determined constructively by the operating position of the operator.
  • a generic truck is out of the DE 10 2007 049 392 A1 known. That from the DE 10 2007 049 392 A1 known truck is designed as a standalone unit, in which a driver's protection roof is located above the driver's workplace for the standing operator on a mast.
  • Generic trucks are mainly used as warehouse trucks for storage and retrieval of goods or for picking goods in a warehouse or in a rack system.
  • Forklifts used within warehouses or shelves usually have a battery-electric drive system in which a traction battery for supplying the load of the electric drive system in the vehicle body is present as an electrical energy source, in certain time intervals must be charged at charging stations or replaced at battery changing stations against a charged traction battery.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide an industrial truck of the type mentioned that has a reduced footprint when stopping in work breaks or when charging a traction battery to a charging station.
  • the driver's protection roof is arranged liftable and lowerable on the vehicle body, wherein the driver's roof can be lowered in the lowered position on the vehicle body.
  • the truck according to the invention it is thus possible to lower the driver's roof during work breaks or when charging a traction battery on the vehicle body, so that the overall height of the truck can be significantly reduced.
  • the truck according to the invention can be parked in a rack system in the bottom shelf of a shelf, for example, in a shelf or a bottom shelf of a shelf are designed as a battery charging station on which the traction battery of the invention Forklift can be charged, being directly above the vehicle body another compartment of the shelf with storage space for storing goods available stands and thus compared to generic trucks in a rack system additional storage space can be used. In a rack system or a warehouse thus a high space utilization by storage space can be achieved.
  • the truck according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention with driver's roof lowered to the vehicle body driverless, automated operation can be.
  • the truck according to the invention thus enables the driver's roof to be raised by an operator located inside the driver's workplace and, when the driver's sunroof has been lowered onto the vehicle body, to be operated by a driver-free roof which has been raised, driverless, automated operation.
  • a truck according to the invention in a racking system or a warehouse, therefore, further advantages are achieved, since the truck is universally applicable and can be operated without driverless and automated for standard tasks or on standard routes.
  • the truck Since the driver's protection roof descends downwards and lowers onto the vehicle body for the driverless, automated operation of the industrial truck according to the invention, the truck, which is operated according to the invention and operated in an automated manner, has a reduced, compact overall height. As a result, a view of the automatic, driverless operated truck is possible and in the warehouse or the rack system, being used in a mixed operation driverless trucks and operated by industrial trucks, the clarity increases.
  • the driver's roof can be raised and lowered by means of a drive device.
  • a quick change of the truck between the raised position and the lowered position with the driver's shelter can be achieved, so that the driver's roof in an inoperative position or a standby mode of the truck or a driverless operation of the truck preferably automatically in the lowered position can be retracted and only when an operator wants to operate the truck manually, the driver's roof extends into the raised position to provide the operator with sufficient space within the driver's workplace for a standing and / or sitting operating position.
  • operating elements for actuating the drive device and / or a traction drive of the industrial truck are arranged on the outer contour of the vehicle body.
  • controls for controlling the traction drive are present on the outer contour, it is also possible in a simple way to move the truck with retracted driver's roof, for example to park this in a shelf or at a battery charging station after leaving the driver's workplace and lowering the driver's roof or to turn off.
  • the driver's protection roof has an existing at least two vertical struts support structure, which are arranged on the vehicle body liftable and lowerable.
  • Such vertical struts make it possible in a simple manner to raise and lower the driver's roof in Hubmastartigen profiles or sections of the vehicle body.
  • the vertical struts in the vehicle transverse direction spaced from each other on the vehicle body are arranged raised and lowered, wherein the support structure of the driver's shelter roof comprises a vertical struts in the upper region connecting roof strut. If the vertical struts in the area of the vehicle outer sides are arranged liftably and lowerably on the vehicle body, the driver's workplace for the operator can be covered from above by appropriate shaping of the roof strut in order to protect the operator located within the driver's workplace against falling parts.
  • the construction cost of the truck according to the invention can be further reduced if the vertical columns of the driver's roof adjacent to the mast on the driver's roof are arranged.
  • the mast arranged on the vehicle body mast profiles of the mast of the mast they can also be used to guide the vertical struts of the driver's roof, so that the constructional effort for raising and lowering the driver's roof can be reduced.
  • the vertical struts and / or the roof strut of the support structure are formed like a truss.
  • the driver's protection roof can be made particularly lightweight and yet stable and rigid, so that the construction costs for the drive device for raising and lowering the driver's roof can be reduced and the raising and lowering of the driver's roof has low energy consumption.
  • the driver's shelter roof according to an expedient development of the invention comprises a transparent windshield and / or a transparent protective roof.
  • a protective roof can be covered in a simple way the driver's workplace up to protect the operator against falling parts.
  • a windscreen easily prevents an operator located in the driver's workplace from reaching with his hands in the direction of the mast of the lifting device.
  • the transparent front screen and / or the transparent protective roof are preferably arranged on the supporting structure.
  • the transparent protective roof is provided with extending in the vehicle transverse direction, integrated struts as a protective structure.
  • integrally formed cross struts in the transparent canopy the required stability against falling parts can be achieved with low weight of the canopy.
  • the weight of the raised and lowered driver's roof further optimized and be reduced to keep the construction costs and energy requirements for raising and lowering the driver's roof low.
  • transparent cross struts are thereby achieved on the canopy, which leads to an improved view of the located in the driver's workplace and looking at a raised load-carrying operator.
  • the operator's view of a raised load-handling device can be further optimized and improved if the transverse struts integrated in the protective roof are arranged inclined.
