  • the apparatus is described as being used with the forks of a fork lift truck as shown at 1 in the drawings, but it will be understood that it can be used with any other lifting means which can be inserted in the frame as will be described hereinafter.
  • the apparatus comprises a frame 3 made up of longitudinal members 4 and end side pieces 5 with bracing members 6. Secured to the longitudinal members 4 are two transverse channel elements or box members 7, 7a disposed to receive the forks 1. Supported on the channel members 7, 7a are rollers 8 journaled in brackets 8a on the members 7 and formed of sections of rollers and constituting bearing members between the channel members 7, 7a and the forks 1. The rollers may however be replaced by balls or members making sliding contact.
  • rollers 8 make rolling engagement with the top surface 9 of the forks l and when the apparatus is used for lifting a loadas will be described the load is transferred from the frame 3 to the forks I through the rollers 8.
  • brackets iii Secured to the outside of the channels are brackets iii in which are journaled rollers 11 bearing on the underside of the side frame members 4.
  • the channel or box members 7 have brackets 12 in which are journaled rollers 13 in rollingengagement with the portions 14 of the longitudinal members 4.
  • Each of the channels 7, 7a has an aperture 19 and a removable pin 20 is engaged in a slot 21 in the forks I and extends through the aperture l9; the upper end of the pin 26 is connected by a universal joint 22 to the piston 23 of a hydraulic ram cylinder 24 itself connected by a universal joint 25 to the channel member 7, 7a.
  • a universal joint 22 to the piston 23 of a hydraulic ram cylinder 24 itself connected by a universal joint 25 to the channel member 7, 7a.
  • the frame 3 can be slewed with respect to the forks taking up the spaces between the sides of the forks 1 and the interior side walls of the members 7, 7a; or the rams 24, 24a could be operated in opposite directions to increase the slewing effect, or both the rams 24, 24a can be operated in the same direction thereby moving the frame 3 along the forks 1.
  • a guide element 26 is secured to the frame 3 and as seen in FIG. 2 this guide element can be rotated about a horizontal axis, but in the lowered position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 it extends below the frame, or it may be rotated about a vertical axis thus mov-. ing it out of contact with a load such as a transport container the same area in plan as the frame 3.
  • a similar guide element is shown at the top left hand comer of FIG. 1 and also they are provided, although not shown, at the bottom left and bottom right hand comers of FIG. 1, all the guide elements being operated as described for the element 26.
  • the vehicle supporting the attachment above the load with the forks raised is moved to alongside the load and the attachment is supported on the forks at a height such that the outer guides elements (bottom of FIG. I), if fitted, or the frame itself is three to four inches above the load and the end shift ram is operated to bring the apparatus within two or three inches in a longitudinal direction of its being in register sideways of the load should the driver have stopped the vehicle in accurate alignment with the load.
  • the slewing and side shift rams 24, 24a are then operated to put them into the float position that is to say the rams are depressurized and permit the pistons to move freely in their cylinders.
  • the apparatus is then traversed over the load until the inner guide elements 26 strike the side corners of the container nearest the vehicle; if the frame is not parallel to the side of the container operation of the rams 24, 24a or one of them causes the frame to swing about the pins 20, and since one guide element 26 is already in contact with the container, the other corner of the frame will swing towards the load until the other guide element 26 strikes the other end of the load, thus bringing the frame into register with the load.
  • the apparatus is then dropped onto the top of the container. During this operation the guide elements 26 at the bottom of FIG.
  • the guide elements are raised so that the apparatus can move across the top of the load.
  • the guide elements are lowered also and assist in correctly aligning the frame on the top of the load.
  • the lowering of the guide elements is by means of rams 28 connected by universal joints 29 to the frame members 4 and their rods 30 are connected to pins 31 on the guide elements 26.
  • the twist locks (to be described) are then operated to engage the load and the controls are operated to pressurize rams 24, 24a to prevent any slewing of the frame on the forks.
  • the container is then lifted and brought onto the platform of the side loader vehicle by retracting the mast carrying the forks into the transverse recess across the vehicle.
  • each corner of the frame 3 as seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, are the lifting devices shown as rotatable lugs 32 but they may be swinging hooks in the corners of the frame 3 and having pins 33 integral therewith to the lower end of which are the actual lifting members 34.
  • the lifting members 34 are downwardly tapered and transversely of FIG. 4 are of a thickness to enable them to pass through an aperture in the plate 35 in the shaped elements 36 formed in the corner of the load.
  • the lugs 32 are journaled in bearings 38 in the side frame members 5 and they have a cut away portion 39 in which is a pin 40 on which is engaged the rod 41 of a ram 42 secured inside the member 5 by a universal joint 43.
  • the ram 41, 42 as can be seen from FIG. 5 is positioned at an angle to the longitudinai axis of the frame member 5 and therefore when it is operated by drawing the rod 41 tothe right in FIG. 5, the lug 32 will be rotated.
  • the upper portion 44 of the lug 32 may be quadrant shaped, that is one quarter of a circle segment, and the aperture in the bearing 8 is a half circle segment so that this will permit the rod 41 to rotate the lug 32 through thereby moving it from the position where the member 34 can pass through the plate 35 to the position where it engages underneath the plate 35 as seen in FIG. 4 for lifting the load.
  • brackets 45 carrying rollers 46a running within the channels along the sides of the members 4.
  • FIG. 6 this shows the hydraulic circuit controlling the rams of the apparatus and for the sake of clarity the rams 24,2441 in FIG. I have been shown as 24 and 24a in FIG. 6.
  • the valves 50, 51 and 52 are three identical four positioned valves, the fourth position being a detent position giving a float condition, that is to say both cylinder ports and pressure port are connected to the tank line 53 and the valves are spring centered to neutral positions from both the working positions.
  • valves 50 and 51 By selecting the valves 50 and 51 in the same direction the cylinders 24 and 24a are actuated together and thus the apparatus rolls in or out of the forks .1. If the valves 50 and 51 are selected in the opposing directions the cylinders 24 and 24a are again actuated, but this time one is extended and one retracted and thus a slewing action is achieved, the rollers 8 assisting this operation. Alternatively the valves 50 and 51 may be operated independently.
  • valve 52 By selecting the valve 52 the cylinder 15 is actuated and the frame 3 moves sideways on the channel members 7.
  • the fourth detent position on any of the valves the cylinder can be extended or retracted by external forces such for example as when the apparatus engages a load.
  • the forks l are inserted into the channel members 7 and the hydraulic connections for all the rams are made with suitable connecting points on the vehicle, the hydraulic connections being flexible tubes with plug and socket type connections for preference of the type which when they are engaged fully in position will automatically open valves in the connections and connect the con necting flexible tubes into the pressure fluid line.
  • the pins 20 are then inserted through the apertures 19 into the slots 21 in the forks and the apparatus is ready for use.
  • the lifting vehicle for example a side loader carrying the apparatus on the forks of its mast, is positioned alongside the container and the mast of the vehicle is traversedout sideways of the vehicle with the apparatus just clear of the top of the container and the valves 50, 51 in the detent position-Thus when the guide elements 26 contact the container corners they centralize the apparatus against it, pushing cylinders 24 and 24a in or out.
  • the container is then attached, the valves return to neutral and the load is ready to lift. If when starting to lift the container is found to be end heavy, indicated by a sloping container, then the container is not fully lifted but returned to the floor.
  • the detent position is selected on the valve 52 and the vehicle is driven slowly from left to right or right to left of FIG. 1 towards the heavy end of the load.
  • the valve 52 is then returned to neutral and the load is lifted. When putting the container down it can be accurately positioned by means of manipulating the three said valves.
  • All the valves are controlled from the drivers cab on the vehicle which are preferably disposed on a console on the cab on the side of the cab nearest the loading apparatus thus facilitating the driver's control since he can watch the loading operation and operate the valves to control the whole movement of the load.
  • the valves may be combined in a minimum of control levers or the like which can be moved forwards, backwards, left-sidewards or right-sidewards according to the direction in which the load is to be moved.
  • valves may be disposed on the apparatus and actuated by remote controls as on the drivers cab as already stated herein.
  • the forks 1 may extend from the top ends of the arms i.e., the conventional forks are inverted in the mast carriage thereby enabling the load to be lifted with the carriage in its lowermost position.
  • All bearing surfaces may be of any suitable material such as steel, bronze or suitable plastic material.
