Shaft-linked forklift truck - uses shaft to operate brake with shaft vertical position applying brake and releasing it in horizontal position

摘要

The brake (4) is operable dependent upon the pivot position of the shaft (10) and moves around a horizontal pivot axis, and work on at least one running wheel (3) and partic. on a running wheel unit link-movable via the shaft. The shaft is pivotable between a horizontal travel position and a vertical braking position. The shaft is tensioned by a spring in the braking position, and when released by an operating person pivots automatically to the vertical braking position. The shaft (10) is formed as operating component for a hydraulic pump (30), partic. for height adjustment of a load accommodation part (1) of the forklift truck. USE/ADVANTAGE - When the operator releases intentionally or inadvertently the control shaft the brakes are applied.
