Definitions

  • the invention to which this application relates is in relation to apparatus for use in the movement of goods.
  • the invention is for use in the movement of goods between storage areas, such as a first storage area in the form of a warehouse and a second, movable goods storage area in the form of, for example, a vehicle trailer provided as part of, or in connection with, a vehicle.
  • a problem which is experienced with apparatus of this type is how to bridge a gap which exists between the edge of the platform of the lifting apparatus and the edge of the adjacent floor, and, in particular, the floor of the transportable storage area. It should be appreciated that typically the goods are moved through an opening at an end of the transportable goods storage area and that typically the opening is relatively narrow and confined, which is especially the case if there is provided a tail lift assembly and/ or door assembly at the opening.
  • the free end of the second portion of the bridging assembly extends to and over the edge of a floor of the goods storage area to form a continuous goods movement path between the platform and the floor of the goods storage area.
  • the gap between the edge of the first portion and the door assembly of the goods storage area is less than the gap between the edge of the platform and the door assembly.
  • the reduced gap is such that access to the door assembly to operate the same can be achieved by a person when standing on the first portion of the bridging assembly.
  • the door assembly is a sliding door assembly such as a shutter door or the door assembly in the applicant's co pending patent application EP2732999.
  • the door of the assembly is movable in a linear direction to allow the opening to be opened or closed.
  • the door may be formed from a number of portions which can be selectively moved to allow selective access to portions of the opening.
  • FIG. 1 there is illustrated a movable goods storage area in the form of a vehicle trailer 2 which is located on and movable by a vehicle 4 in a conventional manner.
  • the goods storage area in this embodiment, is defined by side walls 6,8 a floor 10, a raised floor 12, roof 15, a first end wall 14 and an opposing end 16 in which there is provided an opening 18.
  • the opening when open, allows the movement of goods into and from the goods storage area 2 and the goods are moved onto and from lifting apparatus 20.
  • the lifting apparatus includes a frame 22 which is provided in a fixed position and on which is mounted a platform 24 and which is movable in the vertical direction indicated by arrow 26 to bring the platform to the height of one of the floors 10,12 as required.
  • the platform 24 Once the platform 24 has been moved to the height so as to be able to be at the same height required to operate the door release 86 of the door assembly, they move the bridging assembly to the intermediate position shown in Figure 3b in which the first portion 88 is moved downwardly to lie substantially in line with the platform 24, while the second portion 90 is still upstanding to allow the gap 52 to be maintained for the movement of the door assembly.
  • the operator 84 can then move onto the first portion 88 of the bridging assembly as shown and is then able to reach the door release 86 safely as the gap is significantly reduced and this allows the upper door portion 36 to be moved downwardly as indicated by arrow 92 to allow the opening 18 to be open sufficiently to allow access to the floor 12 of the trailer 2.
  • the operator can move the second portion 90 of the bridging assembly to the intermediate position shown in Figure 3d and then lowers the platform 24 to reach the top door release 86 and return it to its closed position as indicated by arrow 96.
  • the operator can then move the platform 24 to operate the door release 98 of the lower door and move that upwardly as indicated by arrow 100 as shown in Figure 3e and hence open the opening 18 to allow access to the lower floor 10 of the trailer.
  • the operator 84 can then move the second portion 90 of the bridging assembly to be in line with the first portion 88 and hence bridge the gap and allow the goods trolleys 96 to be moved from the platform 24 across the bridging assembly and onto the floor 10 of the trailer 2.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour le déplacement de marchandises entre une plateforme d'un appareil de levage et un ou plusieurs étages d'une zone de stockage de marchandises mobile telle qu'une remorque de véhicule. Un ensemble de raccordement est typiquement placé à un bord de ladite plateforme en position adjacente à l'ouverture de la zone de stockage de marchandises mobile et l'ensemble de raccordement peut être déplacé entre une position de rangement retractée et une position d'utilisation étendue, et une position intermédiaire qui est prévue pour permettre le fonctionnement d'un ensemble porte prévu pour l'ouverture et la fermeture sélectives de ladite ouverture à des fins d'accès à l'intérieur de la zone de stockage de marchandises, ladite position intermédiaire permettant la création d'un espace entre l'ensemble de raccordement et l'ouverture qui est suffisant pour permettre un déplacement de l'ensemble porte entre les positions ouverte et fermée, tout en permettant à un opérateur d'atteindre l'ensemble porte afin d'actionner celui-ci tandis qu'il se tient debout sur l'ensemble de raccordement.
