Definitions

  • the invention can be used with particular advantages in sideloaders and high-bay stacker vehicles, in particular in order-picking three-way forklifts, in which load-carrying fork tines for sideshift operations are oriented or aligned transversely to the straight-ahead direction of the industrial truck.
  • sideloaders in their design as high rack forklift vehicles, the stacking and unstacking of entire pallets and the picking of individual items from the high rack can be effortlessly combined.
  • High-bay stacker vehicles of the type considered here include those in which a driver's seat is arranged on the mast so that it can be moved up and down by means of a driver's seat carrier, with a side shift frame being provided at the front of the driver's seat, which moves up and down together with the driver's seat on the mast is movable and a laterally transverse to Straight-ahead direction of the truck carries back and forth movable load carrying device. Since the driver's seat with an operator sitting on it can be moved vertically on the mast together with the load-carrying device, such industrial trucks are also referred to as man-up vehicles or man-up industrial trucks. In various types of man-up industrial trucks, the mast can be extended and retracted telescopically, with the driver's seat being attached to the highest extendable telescopic stage of the mast in a height-adjustable manner.
  • the load-carrying device movably guided on the side-shift frame can include an auxiliary lifting frame with load-carrying means that can be moved up and down relative to the operator's platform, which are usually load-carrying tines or a load-carrying fork with such load-carrying tines.
  • the auxiliary mast is arranged on a swiveling push-pull device and can be swiveled around a usually vertical axis by approx. 180°, so that the load-carrying fork, which is attached to the auxiliary mast in a height-adjustable manner, can be swiveled from a position with a lateral orientation transverse to the straight-ahead direction of the industrial truck into a position with the opposite lateral orientation can.
  • the pivoting pusher is linearly guided on the sideshift frame.
  • a typical task for the industrial truck is, for example, storing a pallet with a load on it on a shelf, the truck being located in a narrow aisle between shelves of a high-bay warehouse and the pallet being picked up on the load-carrying fork.
  • the pallet is pushed into the rack laterally, transversely to the straight-ahead direction of the industrial truck, provided that the load-carrying fork is already correctly aligned to the side of the rack in the desired storage location and the swiveling push-pull device with the additional lifting frame provided is in a lateral end position on the end of the sideshift frame remote from the shelf in question located.
  • the loaded pallet can then be inserted into the rack by linearly laterally shifting the swiveling pusher along the sideshift frame.
  • Various controllable drive means are provided for driving the various movable components on the mast.
  • they are used to move the load handling attachments on the auxiliary mast, to swivel the auxiliary mast around a vertical axis, to move the load carrying device or the swiveling pusher on the sideshift frame, to move the driver's cab on the mast and, if necessary, to extend and retract the mast telescopically and for moving the sideshift frame relative to the driver's station.
  • these are hydraulic drive means, although other drives should not be excluded.
  • vibrations occur on the mast, in particular vibrations with lateral vibration components, ie vibration components directed transversely to the straight-ahead direction of the truck, especially when driving on uneven ground.
  • vibrations are often all the more violent the higher the operator's platform and its front-mounted devices are raised on the mast and the greater the load that may be picked up by the load-carrying device.
  • Such vibrational movements can be uncomfortable for an operator in the driver's cab and make it difficult or even impossible to store and retrieve pallets from shelves, so that the operator can only safely initiate a storage or retrieval process when the vibrations are stationary truck have subsided.
  • the operator could always drive the industrial truck at a reduced speed when driving on uneven ground To avoid vibration excitations as far as possible. However, both would reduce productivity when working with the industrial truck.
  • the known industrial truck has means for damping or avoiding vibrations in the relative position between the load-receiving section and the mast, ie between the driver's cab (driver's seat) and the mast.
  • This can involve active, semi-active and/or passive vibration damping means that are suitable for generating a force or moment between the mast and the load-carrying section, which is a component along the separate, not for the scheduled operation of the industrial truck intended degree of freedom of movement.
  • damping elements and springs are proposed to reduce vibrations, which counteract a deflection of the mast and the assembly known as the load-carrying section along the separate degree of freedom of movement.
  • a disadvantage of this known solution is a relatively large installation effort to the complete assembly of driver's cab and all together with it on the mast vertically movable load handling components under establishment of the separate, not provided for the scheduled operation of the truck Attach degree of freedom of movement to the mast. Retrofitting an industrial truck in question with these known vibration-reducing measures would also be complicated and expensive.
  • Industrial trucks of the generic type are, for example, from DE 10 2013 014 094 A1 , the DE 39 25 668 A1 and the DE 88 06 324 U1 known.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing an industrial truck of the type mentioned at the outset, which is equipped with vibration-reducing measures that are relatively easy to implement in terms of assembly, which enable efficient vibration-reducing operation, in particular with largely little impact on the comfort of an operator in an onboard driver's seat.

  • One of these variants could be that the rollers are mounted relatively sluggishly, so that they have a braking effect on the movement dynamics of the sections of the load support, and this can also be varied depending on the mass of a load that is taken up.
  • rollers could also be designed and mounted in such a way that a resilient restoring force, for example a torsion spring, e.g. spiral spring, acts on them, the restoring force loading the roller in question towards a preferred rotational position of rest.
  • a resilient restoring force for example a torsion spring, e.g. spiral spring

  • the present invention can be advantageously used in particular in the case of a sideloader, in particular in the design as a high-bay forklift vehicle, in order to reduce transverse vibrations of the mast and components arranged so as to be height-adjustable, i.e. vibrations with components transverse to the straight-ahead direction of the industrial truck.
  • the industrial truck is preferably designed as a side stacker, in particular a three-sided stacker, which has a load carrying fork with load carrying tines as the load carrier arrangement, which are oriented or alignable transversely to the straight-ahead travel direction of the industrial truck, with the load support being able to perform vibration-reducing movements along the load carrying fork tines and thus transversely to the straight-ahead travel direction of the industrial truck .
