  • Patent number: 6981837
    Abstract: An industrial truck has a tiltable lifting frame (2) connected with an axle body (1) mounted so that it can pivot or rotate on a vehicle chassis. To reduce noises, first and second means (4, 5) are provided for connecting the lifting frame (2) with the axle body (1). The first means (4) can have a degree of freedom in rotation around an axis of rotation (D) that is parallel to the axial center line (A) of the axle body (1). The second means (5) are at a spaced distance from the axis of rotation (D) of the first means (4) and in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation (D) and can have a degree of freedom in translation with a defined elasticity along an axis (T) that is perpendicular to the vertical dimension of the lifting frame (2). The first means (4) can be located above or below the axle body (1) and the second means (5) can be located above or below the axial center line (A) of the axle body (1).

  • Patent number: 6953101
    Abstract: An industrial truck, in particular a fork lift truck, is provided with a rear weight and an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is fastened to the rear weight. The internal combustion engine is advantageously mounted so that it can oscillate around an axis that extends in the transverse direction of the industrial truck.

  • Publication number: 20030024755
    Abstract: An industrial truck has a drive unit, an internal combustion engine, and at least one unit (hydraulic pump) located on the end of the engine and driven by it. The drive unit can be oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and fastened to a neighboring segment of a vehicle frame, such as a counterweight. A plurality of bearings are located inside the axial extension of the drive unit. Diagonally below the center of gravity of the drive unit, there are a first bearing and at a distance from it in the axial direction a second bearing, which can be in a common plane located below the drive unit. Diagonally above the center of gravity there is a third bearing which is near an intermediate flange of the drive unit, which intermediate flange is located between the internal combustion engine and the unit.
