FORKLIFT TRUCK WITH FORWARD-TILTING CAB AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CONTAINER-LOADING HEIGHT OF FORKLIFT TRUCK

摘要

There is proposed a forklift truck with forward-tilting cab (1), comprising a cab (1) and a frame (2), whereby the cab (1) is connected to the frame (2) so as to be able to tilt forward; also included is a locating mechanism, which is removably provided between the cab (1) and the frame (2) when the cab (1) is tilted forward to reduce the cab (1) height, so as to locate the cab (1) when the cab (1) is tilted forward to a preset angle.There is also proposed a method for reducing the container-loading height of a forklift truck, whereby a cab (1) of the forklift truck is connected to a frame (2) of the forklift truck so as to be able to tilt forward; when loading into a container, the cab (1) of the forklift truck is tilted forward to a preset angle, so that the height of the forklift truck cab (1) is reduced to a height suitable for loading into a container, and a locating mechanism is used to locate the cab (1), so that the cab (1) is kept in a state in which it is tilted forward to a preset angle.This enables the height of a forklift, when loaded in a container, to be lower than the height of a common container to facilitate loading in the container, so that there is no need to completely remove the cab (1) of the forklift truck when the latter is shipped, and a common container can be used. This greatly reduces the time and cost involved in shipping forklift trucks.
