Abstract
The invention relates to a handling machine (1) having: a chassis (2) having a median longitudinal axis (X) and comprising two longitudinal members (6, 7) extending on either side of the median longitudinal axis (X); a load-handling device, which is mounted so as to be able to move on the chassis (2); a driver's cab (11), which is fastened to the chassis (2) and is positioned on a first side of the chassis (2) with respect to the median longitudinal axis (X) of the chassis (2); and at least one tank (9, 53, 54, 55, 56), which is intended to contain hydrogen and is housed in the chassis (2), between the two longitudinal members (6, 7).
Claims15
A handling machine (1) having:
- a chassis (2) having a median longitudinal axis (X) and comprising two longitudinal members (6, 7) extending on either side of the median longitudinal axis (X);
- a load-handling device, which is mounted so as to be able to move on the chassis (2);
- a driver's cab (11), which is fastened to the chassis (2) and is positioned on a first side of the chassis (2) with respect to the median longitudinal axis (X) of the chassis (2);
- and
- at least one tank (9, 53, 54, 55, 56), which is intended to contain hydrogen;
- and
- a hydrogen-consuming equipment, which is connected to the tank (9, 53, 54, 55, 56) via a supply line (37) and which is selected from among a fuel cell (18) and a hydrogen internal combustion engine (57), the handling machine (1) being characterized in that:
- the tank (9, 53, 54, 55, 56) is housed in the chassis (2), between the two longitudinal members (6, 7);
- and the handling machine (1) comprises a casing (12), which is fastened to the chassis (2) and is arranged on a second side of the chassis (2), opposite the first side, with respect to the median longitudinal axis (X) and wherein the hydrogen-consuming equipment is housed in the casing (12).
