Abstract
The invention relates to a floor-bound transportation vehicle for the transportation of containers, with at least one lifting platform which is arranged on a vehicle frame of the transportation vehicle and can be lifted from a lowered transportation position into a raised transfer position via a lifting drive and, conversely, can be lowered. The lifting platform is fastened on the vehicle frame via at least one toggle lever. The lifting platform can be raised or can be lowered via the at least one toggle lever. The lifting drive acts on the at least one toggle lever, and the lifting platform is guided on the transportation vehicle for the lifting and lowering movement.
Claims26
Floor-bound transportation vehicle for the transportation of containers, comprising:
- at least one lifting platform arranged on a vehicle frame of the transportation vehicle and at least one lifting drive raising said at least one lifting platform from a lowered transportation position to a raised transfer position and lowering said at least one lifting platform from the transfer position to the transportation position;
- at least two toggle levers, each comprising a first toggle lever arm and a second toggle lever arm, which are connected to each other by a toggle joint, wherein said first toggle lever arm is mounted to said vehicle frame via a lower axis of articulation at an end away from said toggle joint and said second toggle arm is mounted to said at least one lifting platform via an upper axis of articulation at an end away from said toggle joint, said at least two toggle levers jointing said at least one lifting platform with said vehicle frame, said toggle levers oriented in the driving direction of the transportation vehicle, wherein said at least one lifting drive acts jointly on the at least two toggle levers for lifting and lowering said at least one lifting platform;
- and
- wherein each of said toggle levers extends for more than half the width of the lifting platform as viewed from the driving direction of the transportation vehicle.
Floor-bound transportation vehicle for the transportation of containers, comprising:
- at least one lifting platform arranged on a vehicle frame of the transportation vehicle and at least one lifting drive raising said at least one lifting platform from a lowered transportation position to a raised transfer position and lowering said at least one lifting platform from the transfer position to the transportation position;
- at least two toggle levers, each comprising a first toggle lever arm and a second toggle lever arm, which are connected to each other by a toggle joint, wherein said first toggle lever arm is mounted to said vehicle frame via a lower axis of articulation at an end away from said toggle joint and said second toggle arm is mounted to said at least one lifting platform via an upper axis of articulation at an end away from said toggle joint, said at least two toggle levers jointing said at least one lifting platform with said vehicle frame, said toggle levers oriented with a first one of said toggle levers arranged in front of a second one of said toggle levers in the driving direction of the transportation vehicle, wherein said at least one lifting drive acts jointly on the at least two toggle levers for lifting and lowering said at least one lifting platform;
- wherein each of said toggle levers extends for more than 75 percent of the width of the lifting platform as viewed from the driving direction of the transportation vehicle.
Floor-bound transportation vehicle for the transportation of containers, comprising:
- at least one lifting platform arranged on a vehicle frame of the transportation vehicle and at least one lifting drive raising said at least one lifting platform from a lowered transportation position to a raised transfer position and lowering said at least one lifting platform from the transfer position to the transportation position;
- at least two toggle levers jointing said at least one lifting platform with said vehicle frame, said toggle levers oriented in the driving direction of the transportation vehicle, wherein said at least one lifting drive acts jointly on the at least two toggle levers for lifting and lowering said at least one lifting platform;
- wherein each of said toggle levers extends for more than half the width of the lifting platform as viewed from the driving direction of the transportation vehicle;
- wherein said at least one lifting platform is guided by at least one longitudinal control arm on said vehicle frame, wherein said at least one longitudinal control arm is articulated to said at least one lifting platform at a first end by a first axis of articulation and it is articulated to the vehicle frame at a second opposite end by a second axis of articulation.
