Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a seat-type reach forklift, and in particular to a riding handle that also serves as an arm protector.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a seat type reach forklift, for example, the type shown in FIG. 4 is known. The illustrated seat-type reach forklift has a seat 1 facing left in the driver's cabin at the rear of the machine, and a handle 2 on the left side of the driver's seat, that is, in front of the seat 1.
is provided. In addition, a ride handle 4 is attached to the left head guard pillar 3.
The operator grasps this handle 4 and gets into the driver's cab.

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the case of such conventional seated reach forklifts, the operator generally holds the handle 2 with his left hand and operates the handle, but the handle 2 is located closer to the upper edge of the frame outer panel 5. Because it is located at a high position and there is nothing covering the handle 2, external protrusions such as shelves may come into contact with the left hand or damage the handle 2 when the vehicle turns. I was afraid. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a seat-type reach forklift that is not only convenient for the operator to get on and off, but also protects the operator and the handle.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes a frame outer panel surrounding a driver's cab installed at the rearmost part of the aircraft base with the seat facing sideways and the handle facing the front of the seat; a head guard supported by the machine base via at least two head guard pillars so as to cover the machine, and the frame outer plate has an entrance to the operator's cabin defined at the rearmost portion thereof, and , one of the head guard pillars is located outside the frame defining the entrance/exit at the rearmost end of the seat-type reach fork lift located near the handle on the opposite side from the entrance/exit. a protective and riding handle member that partially surrounds the handle and extends above the handle by a predetermined height from the rear end of the plate on the handle side to the head guard pillar located near the handle; It is characterized by being attached.

[Effect]

According to the seat-type reach forklift of the present invention having the above-described configuration, from the handle-side rear end of the frame outer plate defining the boarding/exit at the rearmost part,
A handle member for protection and riding is attached to the head guard pillar located near the handle, which partially surrounds the handle and extends above the handle by a predetermined height. Even if you pass very close to a protrusion, etc., this protrusion will not enter the area of the handle, and of course, even if the operator is operating the handle, it will not put the operator in danger. There is no need to expose it to anything.

【Example】

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a seat-type reach forklift according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in which the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts. In FIG. 1, the seat-type reach forklift has a seat 1 facing leftward in the driver's cab, similar to the conventional one. Further, a handle 2 is provided on the left side of the driver's cab almost in front of the seat 1. The left frame outer plate 5 wraps around the rearmost part of the machine frame, and its rear end cooperates with the rear end of the right frame outer plate 6 to form an entrance/exit for the driver's cab. The upper part of the driver's cab is covered with a head guard supported by at least two head guard pillars as shown. Left head guard pillar 3 near the handlebar 2 on the opposite side from the entrance/exit
A protective and riding handle member (hereinafter simply referred to as a "handle") 10 made of a rod-shaped body is welded between the upper end of the rear end of the frame outer plate 5. This handle 1
0 extends upward from the upper end of the rear end of the frame outer plate 5, is bent horizontally at a predetermined position higher than the handle 2, and matches the curvature of the outer surface of the frame outer plate 5, as shown in FIG. It is bent like this and extends to the head guard pillar 3. The upwardly extending portion 11 of the handle 10 is preferably bent slightly toward the center of the entrance, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to surround the handle 2 as widely as possible. In addition, when an operator operates this seated reach forklift, he places his left hand on the handle as described above, but at that time, a protrusion on the outside of the machine platform may enter the area of the operator's cab. The length of the upwardly extending portion 11 is designed with sufficient consideration given to protecting not only the handle 2 but also the operator's left hand. In such a configuration, when riding, the operator places his foot on the step 7 at the rear of the frame,
Grasp the handle 10 (usually part 11) with your left hand and get into the driver's cab. Also, while driving, the operator's left hand should be on the handle 2.
However, there is a handle 10 between the outside of the machine base on the handle side and the handle 2, and this acts as an interference member against a protrusion (not shown).
The left hand and the handle 2 are protected by this handle 10. That is, the handle 10 also functions as an arm protector, and even if a protrusion such as a shelf approaches the handle 2 when the vehicle turns, the handle 10 prevents the protrusion from entering and protects the left hand and the handle 2. Furthermore,
While driving, the left hand should not be carelessly taken out of the driver's seat, but this handle 10 also serves to prevent the left hand from moving outward. FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the invention. In this second embodiment, the upper edge of the left frame outer plate 5' extends above the handle 2 to form an extension (protection/handle member) 15; A riding handle 17 is formed by an opening 16 provided in the edge. The length of the extension portion 15 can be determined in the same manner as the portion 11 of the handle 10 in the first embodiment. This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the front surface of the handle 2 is completely covered, so its function as an arm protector is further improved.

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is a protective and riding handle that partially surrounds the handle and extends above it by a predetermined height between the handle and the outside of the machine on the front side thereof. This not only protects the left hand and the handle from external protrusions, but also prevents the left hand from accidentally sticking out of the machine, improving safety. Furthermore, since the grip portion of the ride handle can be located near the entrance/exit, there is also the effect that getting on and off the vehicle becomes easier.
