Abstract
A miniloader includes an articulated chassis, with a boom pivot device arranged on a front chassis part, a pivotable boom thereon including an upwardly extending first arm part which is fixedly arranged on the boom pivot device for pivoting of the boom relative to the chassis about a vertical boom pivot axis line during operation of the miniloader, a second arm part which with a first end is arranged on a free end of the first arm part and is pivotable relative thereto about a first horizontal pivot axis line between retracted and extended states, a coupling piece arranged pivotably about a second horizontal pivot axis line on a second end of the second arm part for coupling a tool thereto. In the retracted state of the second arm part, the second horizontal pivot axis line lies within the circumference of the front wheels.
Claims18
Miniloader (1), comprising:
- an articulated chassis (2) comprising
- a rear chassis part (3) on which rear wheels (5) are provided,
- a front chassis part (6) which is pivotable relative to the rear chassis part about a vertical chassis pivot axis line (4), and on which front wheels (8) are provided,
- a steering device (9) for steering the miniloader by means of pivoting of the front chassis part and rear chassis part relative to one another about the chassis pivot axis line, and
- a boom pivot device (10) arranged on the front chassis part (6), the miniloader furthermore comprising:
- a pivotable boom (12) mounted on the boom pivot device (10), the boom comprising:
- an upwardly extending first arm part (14) which is fixedly arranged on the boom pivot device (10), for pivoting of the boom relative to the chassis about a vertical boom pivot axis line (16) during operation of the miniloader,
- a second arm part (18) which with a first end (20) is arranged on a free end (22) of the first arm part (14) and which is pivotable relative to the first arm part (14) about a first horizontal pivot axis line (24) between a retracted state, in which the second arm part (18) extends downward, and an extended state, in which the second arm part (18) extends upward, and
- a coupling piece (30) which is arranged on a second end (28) of the second arm part (18) located opposite the first end (20) and is pivotable about a second horizontal pivot axis line (26), for coupling thereto a tool,
- wherein in the retracted state of the second arm part (18), the second horizontal pivot axis line (26) lies within the circumference of the front wheels (8), viewed in a side view of the miniloader.
