Lift trucks, more particularly lift truck for handling loads without the use of pallettes

摘要

A lift truck is provided with elevating mechanisms, including a seat for accommodating the operator, and control panel and footplate combined, also the load to be lifted, plus a plate supporting it, all of which are moveable in an up and down direction by known hydraulic principles. It comprises four main pillars, set in the form of a square or rectangle, and, on the two main side bases, on wheels, has incorporated, extension pieces, worked by hydraulic rams and having on their ends blocking distance supports, which are adjustable, to prevent the machine tilting. The machine has a rectangular framework, supported by wheels attached to its side, running on four parallel horizontal rails or bars, and said framework is pulled from side to side by wires, on a drum with two windings, and connected to a hydraulic motor, placed on the combined control panel and footplate, with control there. Also provided are metal mesh roller doors, on the end of bars, which have rams to push them in and out and which move, in opposite directions, with metal frame guides for the roller mesh to slide up and down, controlled by small hydraulic motors to pull up, and heavy metal on the ends to move down the metal guides, with extension foot pieces or sides, running parallel to the load to keep it in position and prevent splaying.
