Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement of a cargo handling device for a forklift used for transporting heavy objects.

[Prior art and its problems]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a forklift as shown in FIG. 1 has been used to transport heavy objects, and objects are carried by placing them on forks 2 of a forklift 1.
However, when carriers of steel or wire rods are transported by the fork 2, the carriers of steel or wire rods slip on the fork 2, which is very dangerous.

For this reason, when transporting only bulk items such as coils of wire, a special cargo handling device is installed, but when transporting various types of heavy objects, a dedicated cargo handling device is installed. The problem is that the work is very complicated and dangerous, as it requires the installation of a regular fork.

The present invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and by arranging a fork cover in a swingable manner on a cargo handling device equipped with a regular fork in a forklift, it can be used as a normal cargo handling device or a dedicated cargo handling device. An object of the present invention is to provide a forklift cargo handling device that can be used for different purposes.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is a cargo handling device consisting of a backrest 3 of a forklift, a fork slide guide plate 4, and a fork 2, which has a channel-type shape that is covered from above the fork 2, and has a notch 9 formed on the top surface. The fork cover 8 is fixed to both sides of the cover arm 7, and the cover arm 7 is swingably pivoted by a connecting rod 10 to a fork cover mounting portion 6 disposed on the fork slide guide plate 4 between the forks 2, 2. The fork cover is configured to swing in a range from a position where the fork cover covers the fork to a retracted position where it stands up along the backrest.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 2 shows a forklift cargo handling device;
2 is a fork attached to a fork slide guide plate 4 arranged between the back crests 3 so as to be slidable in the left and right direction; 5 is a fork 2;
A fork cover is disposed approximately at the center of the fork slide guide plate 4 between the two.

The fork cover 5 is composed of a fork cover mounting part 6, a cover arm 7, and a cover 8,
The cover 8 has a channel-shaped shape with a groove at the bottom, and has one or more notches 9 formed on its upper surface, and is integrally fixed to both sides of the cover arm 7, respectively. The cover arm 7 is pivotally connected by a connecting rod 10 to a fork cover attachment part 6 which is attached to the fork slide guide plate 4 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction.

As described above, the forklift cargo handling device of the present invention is composed of a fork 2, a back crest 3, a fork slide guide plate 4, and a fork cover 5, and the fork cover 5 rises from a position covering the fork 2 to the back crest 3. Since it is configured to swing within the range of the retracted position, when transporting wire carriers, etc., cover 8 is used to cover each fork 2 as shown in Figure 2, and the When transporting an object, as shown in Fig. 3, the cover 8 is swung in the direction of arrow A so that it stands up against the backrest 3, and is secured by a stopper (not shown) provided on a part of the backrest, etc. Use it in a fixed and vertical position.

That is, when transporting the carrier 12 carrying the wire rod 11 using the cargo handling device according to the present invention, the fork cover 5 is unfixed, the fork cover is swung to cover the fork 2, and the fork 2 is moved to the carrier. When the carrier 12 is inserted into the fork 12, the carrier 12 engages with the notch 9 in the cover 8, so the carrier 12 will not fall off the fork 2 during transportation, and will not move on the fork 2, making it extremely safe. .

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the forklift cargo handling device of the present invention can transport heavy objects of different shapes without replacing the cargo handling device by simply swinging the fork cover provided on the fork slide guide plate. This can be done extremely easily, greatly improving work efficiency and also being extremely safe.

In addition, since the structure is extremely simple, it is easy to handle, inexpensive, and has great practical effects.
