Tilting mast type fork lift truck - has seat and controls on cladding section tilting open for maintenance

摘要

The forklift truck has a tilting lifting mast, and a power unit with running gear, covered by cladding material, and with a driver's seat and controls on top of it. The cladding section (15) with controls (9, 10, 11) and seat (7) forms a complete tilting unit. Tilting can take place about an axis (16) parallel to that of the mast (1, 4), a catch (19) securing it to the latter when opened up. The tilting unit can be supported on flexible mountings, the tilting spindle also being flexibly mounted. The controls can be connected to the power unit by flexible hydraulic pipes passing through guides near the tilting spindle.
