Definitions

  • the invention relates to forklifts with a driver protection device which delimits the driver's seat space at the top.
  • driver protection devices are usually designed as open or closed driver protection cabins.
  • a certain minimum distance must be maintained between the lower edge of the roof of the driver protection cabin and the seat of the driver's seat so that normal drivers can sit upright.
  • a distance is chosen that is greater than the minimum distance.
  • the distance determines the height of the driver protection cabin and thus also the overall height of the forklift when the mast is retracted.
  • the problem may arise that the vehicle height is too high to drive the forklift into standard containers and perform loading and unloading work there, although the forklift truck is ideal for such work in cramped conditions due to its other dimensions and load capacity spatial environments is suitable.
  • the manufacturer equips the forklift with one Driver protection cabin, which is built lower and thus leads to a reduction in vehicle height, so that such work in standard containers can now be carried out with the forklift.
  • the distance between the seat of the driver's seat and the lower edge of the roof may decrease until the prescribed minimum size is reached.
  • a major disadvantage is that at least two types of driver protection cabins with different dimensions have to be manufactured and stored in series production, which also includes the storage of semi-finished products, so that, depending on the order, forklifts with different driver protection cabins can be delivered without delay. This is uneconomical and increases the cost of the forklift.
  • the invention has for its object to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned and to provide a forklift that can be equipped with little resources for both purposes.
  • the driver protection device consists essentially of a base frame and an attached upper part.
  • any desired distance between the upper limit of the driver protection device and the driver's seat can be established by replacing the upper part. If a forklift truck is now required to carry out loading work in standard containers, a flatter upper part is placed on the base frame instead of the higher upper part. The height dependency of the forklift is thus moved to the upper part.
  • the upper part can both take over the frame function for the driver protection device, provided that it is dimensioned accordingly in both versions, or merely form a cover, e.g. as protection against falling objects.
  • the vehicle height in the forklift version with a high upper part is 2200 mm with a distance between the seat surface of the driver's seat and the upper limit of the driver protection device of 1050 mm.
  • the vehicle height e.g. The upper part is removed and exchanged for a flatter upper part, so that the vehicle height of the forklift truck is only, for example, 2090 mm with a prescribed minimum distance of 1000 mm between the seat and the upper limit of the driver protection device.
  • the upper part is fixed or detachably connected to the base frame. These parts can be firmly connected by the manufacturer, for example, by welding. Depending on the customer's requirements, forklifts with driver protection devices can be delivered at different heights is favorable if the upper part is designed as part of the frame.
  • a detachable connection has the advantage that the user can exchange the upper part, which means that the intended use of the forklift truck is not defined from the outset.
  • the support points of the upper part on the base frame are at a distance from the driving surface that is less than the clear height of standard containers.
  • a uniform base frame can be used for both types of forklift truck, which considerably reduces manufacturing costs and warehousing.
  • the upper part is designed as an upwardly curved roof, so that this embodiment can be used for loading operations outside of standard containers and a maximum of seating comfort is achieved. If, on the other hand, the upper part is designed as a flat roof, the forklift can drive into standard containers and be operated there. It is expedient that the upwardly curved roof is designed as a cavity with a top surface and four side surfaces and the four side surfaces are inclined to the top surface. This form is simple, e.g. execute as welded construction.
  • the driver protection device is designed as a driver protection cabin, which has walls with viewing windows on the front and rear and doors are hinged on the sides, the advantage of a uniform base frame is particularly evident.
  • the mentioned parts are namely relatively expensive to manufacture and it means a large financial outlay to manufacture and store these elements in two different versions. This is avoided if the parts are only designed to fit the uniform base frame of the driver protection cabin.
  • the seat pad of the driver's seat is adjustable in height, which can also be achieved by removing a part of the seat pad, there is the possibility of increasing the distance between the seat surface of the driver's seat and the lower edge of the roof, which is reduced by fitting the flatter roof. This can also be achieved by exchanging the entire driver's seat for a flatter seat before the forklift is delivered.
  • the steering wheel is adjustable in height, it can easily be adapted to the changed ergonomic conditions.
  • the invention is to be illustrated using the schematic example of the figure below, the side views of two largely identical forklifts being shown in the figure.
  • a driver protection device designed as a driver protection cabin 2 is built on the frame 1 of a forklift truck, the sides of which are open.
  • the driver protection device can also be completely open on all sides, ie only consist of a frame, or have front and rear viewing windows and doors on the sides and a roof.
  • the upper end of the driver protection cabin 2 of the forklift marked with A is formed by an upwardly curved roof 3a.
  • the roof 3a is removable and can represent both a frame part connecting the front and rear sides of the driver protection cabin and can be placed on an already closed cage-like frame. In any case, the roof 3a is clearly hollow.
  • the support level 4 or the support locations at which the roof 3a rests on the driver protection cabin 2 is at a distance from the driving surface of the forklift that is smaller than the clear height of standard containers. If the roof 3a is attached, however, there is a vehicle height which makes it impossible to drive onto a standard container. However, if the roof 3a is removed and a flat roof 3b is placed as shown on the forklift marked with B, the forklift can move into the standard container. In this state, the prescribed minimum distance between the seat 5 of the driver's seat 6 and the lower edge of the roof 3b is just maintained.
  • the height-adjustable steering wheel 7 enables adaptation to the changed ergonomic conditions.
  • the arched roof 3a is easy to manufacture by means of a cover surface 8 and four side surfaces 9.
