Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is a pallet transport vehicle, in particular, a type of vehicle in which a base frame is provided at the rear of a fork on which a load can be placed, and a lifting device for raising and lowering the fork is connected to this base frame. related to things.

Conventionally, in the above-mentioned type of pallet transport vehicle, the base frame that stands on the upper surface of the rear of the fork was formed integrally with the fork, so the transport vehicle was always bulky due to this base frame and the lifting device connected to it. When transporting, packing, and storing the transport vehicle, it required a relatively large amount of space, which caused an increase in costs.

The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and it is possible to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional one by making it possible to fold the pallet truck compactly onto the base frame and the elevating device metal fork when the pallet truck is not in use. The object of the present invention is to provide a pallet transport vehicle which is easy to handle and has a simple structure, and is characterized in that the base frame is formed separately from the fork, and the base frame is formed separately from the fork. The fork is hinged to the rear part of the fork so that it can be raised and lowered, and a securing device is provided between the fork and the base frame to secure the base frame in an upright position.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a pair of left and right forks on which cargo can be placed;
A wheel support arm 12 that pivotally supports the wheel 2 is supported in the front part thereof so as to be swingable in the vertical direction, and a wheel support arm 12 with a U-shaped cross section formed separately from the fork 1 is provided in the rear part 3 of the wheel support arm 12 . A base frame 4 is provided.

This base frame 4 is connected by a hinge 5 to the upper surface of the fork 1 so that it can rise and fall on the fork 1, and when the base frame 4 is in the upright state, there is a gap between it and a bracket 13 protruding from the rear upper surface of the fork 1. A lashing device 16 provided at the
It is maintained by

A lifting device A capable of driving the fork 1 up and down is arranged adjacent to the rear of the base frame 4.

This lifting device A has a link 10 at the bottom of the base frame 4.
The hydraulic system 6 is constructed of a support stand 9 on which the wheels 8 are suspended and a hydraulic system 6 erected on the support stand 9.
It is connected to the upper end, and when the output rod 7 of the hydraulic device 6 moves up and down, the base frame 4 and therefore the fork 1 can move up and down with respect to the support base 9.

As the fork 1 moves up and down, the wheel support arm 12 at the front of the fork 1 swings by a known interlocking mechanism (not shown), so that the fork 1 can be held horizontally.

Reference numeral 11 is an operating handle erected on the support stand 9, and the operator can move the transport vehicle in any direction by holding this handle 11.

With the above configuration, when the pallet carrier is not in use, the bolts 14 serving as the lashing device 16 are removed and the base frame 4 is rotated forward around the hinge connection 5 as shown by the solid line in Figure 2, and the vehicle can be raised or lowered. The device A is laid down onto the fork 1 together with the base frame 4.

As described above, according to the present invention, the base frame 4 is provided at the rear of the fork 1 on which a load can be placed, and the lifting device A' for raising and lowering the fork 1 is attached to the base frame 4.
& In the connected pallet carrier, the base frame 4 is formed separately from the fork 1, and is hinged 5 to the rear of the fork 1 so that it can be raised and lowered on the fork 1, and the fork 1 and the base frame are 4, there is a lashing device 16 for lashing the base frame 4 in an upright position.
When the pallet carrier is not in use, the lashing device 16 is deactivated and the upright base frame 4 is laid down on the fork 1 together with the lifting device A.
The base frame 4 and the lifting device A can be folded compactly onto the fork 1, so that the amount of overhang of the pallet carrier upward and rearward when not in use can be made smaller than when in use. Transporting, packing, storing, etc. of the transport vehicle does not require a large space, and costs can be reduced.

In particular, since the base frame 4 is hinged 5 to the fork 1, when the base frame 4 is laid down on the fork 1 as described above, the operation of the lashing device 16 is released and the base frame 4 is It is sufficient to simply rotate the base frame 4 forward at a predetermined angle, and there is no need to separate the frame 4 from the fork 1 each time, so this operation can be performed extremely quickly and easily. Since it is possible to reliably prevent it from falling off from the fork 1 by the hinge connection 5, there is no need to provide a special means to prevent the base frame 4 from falling off, and the structure is simple and manufacturing costs can be reduced accordingly. It is also easy to handle.
