Abstract
The invention relates to a construction vehicle (1). A battery module (40; 240; 340) is provided to supply electricity to at least one electric motor (80, 87) of the construction vehicle (1). A fastening structure (70; 270) of the battery module (40; 240; 340) is designed to be removably fastened to a first longitudinal member (10-1), in a fastening position located beneath the cab (29) in the vertical direction (C-C) of the construction vehicle (1), and the battery module (40; 240; 340) in the fastening position is accessible from an outer side of the construction vehicle (1) so that said module can be brought into or out of the fastening position from the outer side of the construction vehicle (1).
Claims16
A construction vehicle comprising:
- a chassis including
- a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal member, the first longitudinal member and the second longitudinal member being parallel to each other and extending parallel to a longitudinal direction of the construction vehicle, and
- a front axle and a rear axle spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the construction vehicle;
- a lifting arm extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the construction vehicle, the lifting arm being articulated with the longitudinal members between the two longitudinal members so as to be pivotable relative to the longitudinal members about a pivot axis extending in a transverse direction of the construction vehicle that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the construction vehicle;
- at least one electric motor for one or more of propelling the chassis and driving the lifting arm;
- a cab for an operator of the construction vehicle, the cab projecting from the first longitudinal member in the transverse direction of the construction vehicle in a direction away from the second longitudinal member, the cab being arranged in a static manner between the front axle and the rear axle in the longitudinal direction of the construction vehicle;
- and
- a battery module for supplying electricity to the at least one electric motor, the battery module including
- a fastening structure designed to be removably fastened to the first longitudinal member, in a fastening position located beneath the cab in a vertical direction of the construction vehicle that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and to the transverse direction of the construction vehicle,
- wherein the battery module in the fastening position is accessible from an outer side of the construction vehicle so that the battery module can be brought into or out of the fastening position from the outer side of the construction vehicle, the outer side of the construction vehicle being oriented in the transverse direction of the construction vehicle.
