Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for an excavator which can be fitted to a standard excavator, in particular to a back hoe, in order to use the excavator as a fork lift.
  • a disadvantage of using an excavator in lift activities is that the attachment path is severely limited to an arc centred on the dipper hinge, and when the attachment is lifted it moves away from the machine, increasing the radius and decreasing the safe load that may exceed the recommended limits, increasing the risk of instability and overturning of the excavator.
  • a device for an excavator comprising a chassis having a boom mounted thereon and a dipper arm pivotally coupled to a distal end of said boom to which an implement, such as a bucket, may be attached, said device comprising a mast upon which is slidably mounted a carriage, said carriage being slideably mounted on said mast, a pair of spaced tines being provided on said carriage for supporting a pallet thereon, wherein said mast is adapted to be mounted on said boom of said excavator in a vertical orientation such that, in use, said carriage can be moved between lowered and raised positions on said mast when the mast is mounted on said boom.
  • the mast includes an abutment arranged to engage said excavator to maintain the mast in a substantially vertical orientation when the mast is supported on the boom of the excavator.
  • a drive means is provided for moving the carriage between its lowered and raised positions.
  • said drive means comprises a ram mounted on said mast.
  • said drive means comprises a ram mounted on said excavator.
  • said excavator includes a ram acting between the dipper arm and a linkage member pivotally mounted on the dipper arm for operating said implement mountable on the dipper arm and coupled to the linkage member via at least one link rod, the device further comprising a first guide mounted adjacent a proximal end of the dipper arm; a second guide mounted on said linkage member adjacent a distal end of the dipper arm; an anchored cable extending between the first and second guides, wherein a distal end of said cable is coupled to the carriage such that extension of the at least one ram displaces the second guide away from the first guide and moves the carriage towards its raised position.
  • the cable may be anchored to a point on the dipper arm. Alternatively the cable may be anchored to one of the first and second guides.
  • the free end of the cable depends from a further guide mounted on the boom.
  • the first guide may be mounted on the dipper arm or on the boom of the excavator.
  • an excavator comprising a boom and a device as claimed in any preceding claim wherein, in use, the device is releasably mounted on the boom of the excavator.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a fork lift device in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention for an excavator in use, fitted to a boom of a standard excavator;
  • Figures 2 and 3 illustrates a mounting arrangement for mounting the mast of the device of Figure 1 to the boom of the excavator;
  • FIG 4 illustrates an alternative mounting arrangement for mounting the mast of the device of Figure 1 to the boom of the excavator
  • Figure 5 to 7 illustrates different mounting arrangements of the actuating ram of the device of Figure 1 ; and
  • Figure 8 is a side view of a fork lift device in accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention for an excavator in use, fitted to a boom of a standard excavator.
  • a fork lift device for an excavator 1 which is designed to allow a standard excavator to be transformed into a fork lift in order to lift a palletised load.
  • the term excavator is understood to include machinery such as a backhoe, trackhoe, bulldozer, crawler, diggers etc. or any other heavy construction equipment which comprises a boom 2, a dipper arm 3 and an implement 4 (a bucket in this case), the implement 4 being activated through hydraulic means via the movement of a hydraulic dipper ram 5 on the dipper or hydraulic boom rams 6,7 on the boom 2, or a combination of the movement of all of these rams 5,6,7.
  • the device comprises a mast 10 which is designed to be connected to and supported from the boom 2 of an excavator via a coupling 12, such that the mast 10 is supported in a vertical orientation on the excavator 1 .
  • a support member 14 extends rearwardly and laterally from a rear side of the mast 10 to engage a portion of the excavator to align and maintain the mast 10 in a vertical orientation.
  • the mast 10 may be coupled to the boom 2 of the excavator 1 by means of hooks 16 engaged over laterally extending pins 18 provided on the boom 2.
  • Latch members 20 may be provided for locking the pins 18 within the hooks 16.
  • the mast 10 may be coupled to the boom 2 via upwardly extending pins 22 provided on the boom 2 engaged in holes 24 provided in mounting plates 25 provided on the mast 10.
  • a carriage 26 is slideably mounted on the mast 10, a pair of laterally extending tines 28 extending from the carriage 26 for supporting a pallet thereon.
  • Rollers 30 may be provided on the carriage engaged with channels in the mast 10 to constrain the carriage to movement between raised and lowered positions on the vertically arranged mast 10.
  • a ram 32 is mounted on the mast and is coupled to the carriage 26 to move the carriage between its raised and lowered positions on the mast 10.
  • the ram 32 may be coupled to the carriage via a cable 34 extending around pulleys 35, whereby extension of the ram 32 causes the carriage 26 to be raised with respect to the mast 10.
  • One end 36 of the cable 34 may be coupled to the body of the ram 32 while the opposite end 38 may be coupled to the carriage 26.
  • Figures 5 to 7 illustrate different ways to couple to the carriage 26 to the ram 32 via different pulley arrangements.
  • a forklift has single ram in the centre of the mast.
  • the boom 2 occupies this position in this system. Therefore, as shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the ram 32 may be offset to one side of the mast 10.
  • pulleys are provided to link the single ram 32 to both sides of the carriage 26.
  • a pair of rams 32A,32B are provided, one on each side of the mast 10.
  • a single central ram 32 is provided.
  • the tines are preferably substantially parallel to the ground.
  • Rough terrain forks need to be able to slide into a pallet on uneven ground, and thus the forks may be mounted to permit upward displacement or tilting of the forks, as is known in the art.
  • the excavator 1 includes a hydraulic dipper ram 5, such that movement of the hydraulic dipper ram 5 generates a pivotal movement of the bucket 4 via an intervening linkage member 8 against which the dipper ram 5 acts and one or more link rods 9 acting between the linkage member 8 and the bucket 4 or coupling thereof.
  • the dipper ram 5 is used to raise and lower the carriage 26 on the mast 10 via a cable and pulley arrangement, wherein a cable 36 extends from an anchor point 37 on the dipper arm 3, around a first guide pulley 38 mounted at an outer end of the linkage member 8 (or alternatively on linkage 9), passes around a second guide pulley 40 on the dipper arm adjacent the pivot axis between the dipper arm 3 and the boom 2, and around a third guide pulley 42 mounted on the boom 2 adjacent an upper end of the mast 10, when coupled to the boom 2, a distal end of said cable 36 being coupled to the carriage 26, such that extension of the dipper ram 5 displaces the first pulley 38 away from the anchor point 37, thereby raising the carriage 26 up the mast 10.
  • a cable 36 extends from an anchor point 37 on the dipper arm 3, around a first guide pulley 38 mounted at an outer end of the linkage member 8 (or alternatively on linkage 9), passes around a second guide pulley 40 on the dipper arm adjacent the pivot
  • Further pulleys may be provided around which the cable 36 may be passed to magnify the motion of the first pulley, thereby increasing the range of movement of the carriage.
  • the guide pulleys may take the form of pulleys, sheaves, protrusions or any other shapes comprising a partially curved surface about which the cable can run without obstruction.
