Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 In order to reduce traffic accidents during nighttime work on a forklift, the present invention provides a display means on a part of the vehicle body so that other vehicles approaching the vehicle can quickly recognize it.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the body structure of forklifts used for cargo handling and transportation work of containers and the like has a fork part (hereinafter referred to as a claw) for receiving a load, which protrudes at a right angle from a lower portion of a mast provided on the front surface of the vehicle body. This claw can be tilted up and down by hydraulic pressure, its length is usually about 1 to 2, 5 meters, and it is made of hard metal such as steel for lifting a container of 2 to 20 tons or more.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 For example, when working on a forklift truck at a port facility, if the driver goes out of a road or intersection from an unsightly location such as a warehouse on the left or right front, the driver will not be able to see the claws if he puts the claws on the stop line. It often sticks out and stops. The presence of vehicles coming from the front can be confirmed by the headlights of the forklift, but for vehicles approaching from the left and right, especially at night, the dark, elongated claws protruding forward are not noticed and the claws are caught. And often caused major accidents.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a display means on the side surface of a protruding claw for the purpose of preventing a traffic accident so that other vehicles approaching the vehicle can quickly confirm the display. It is a thing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The gist of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is to provide a long groove hole on both side surface portions of a claw and insert a reflecting plate in the groove hole. Instead of the reflecting plate, It is a display claw of a forklift with a feature that a fluorescent plate coated with fluorescent paint is attached.

[0006]

[Action]

 With the forklift display claw of the present invention configured as described above, the light emitted by the headlights of another approaching vehicle is reflected by the reflector plate 3 provided on the side surface of the claw 1 even at night. As a result, the presence of a forklift and the position of the protruding claw can be confirmed quickly.
