  • Patent number: 10179724
    Abstract: Add-on device (1) to be attached to a lifting vehicle, having a movable fork arm unit (2) comprising at least one fork arm (3), having at least two units (4) for driving a lateral movement of the fork arm unit (2), in particular each comprising at least one drive chain (6), in particular running in opposite directions, wherein the drive chain (6) is in particular assigned to a respective fork arm (3), having in each case at least one hydraulic motor (11), by which the unit can be driven, wherein the hydraulic motors (11) of two units (4) can be connected in parallel for a lateral movement of the fork arms (3) in the same direction and/or the hydraulic motors (11) of two units (4) can be connected in series for a lateral movement of the fork arms (3) in opposite directions. Method for actuating said add-on device (1).

  • Patent number: 6279686
    Abstract: Attachments for floor and yard trucks with a lift mast, especially for fork lift trucks, have a lift carriage (8) which has two side plates (9, 10) and two horizontal beams (12/14, 13) situated one over the other with a clearance (“h”) between them, on which there is held at least one hydraulically powered element from the group: load carrier, “transport securing means,” rotating device, tilting device, pushing device, pulling device, holding device, lifting device, fork shifting device, lateral shift frame (1), each with the corresponding hydraulic drive (14). The front sides of the horizontal beams (12/14, 13) and the rear edges of the side plates (9, 10) of the lift carriage (8) are disposed between two vertical planes defining between them a space (7) wherein the at least one hydraulic jack (14) is arranged and the corresponding control unit (18) is disposed.

  • Patent number: 5913654
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lateral shifting system for a floor transport vehicle, which has a lift carriage with a base frame with one upper and one lower hook edge for mounting fork tines and has a lateral shift frame. The lateral shift frame has two horizontal frame members with, on the one hand, cross sections which grasp the edges of the base frame and on the other hand form edges for fork tines, and a double-acting hydraulic driver for shifting the lateral shift frame. To reduce weight, tolerances and difficulty in assembly, the lower horizontal frame member can be swung in back of the bottom edge of the base frame by means of an uptumed cross-sectional extremity, and for a sliding, form-fitting combination of base frame and lateral shift frame, U-shaped antifriction bearings are inserted from the side between the lower edge of the base frame and the lower horizontal member of the lateral shift frame.

  • Patent number: 5701800
    Abstract: A support with a through-hole (13) for a plunger (3) and a contact surface (15) for a sealing ring (8), is designed as a sliding body (12) with two .diametrically opposite sliding shoulders, which are inserted in complementary transverse grooves (9, 10) in the end of a cylinder (1). After the sliding body (12) has been inserted, it is held in place in the cylinder by the plunger (3). The sliding body (12) is provided with an annular channel inside the through-hole, in which channel a wiper ring (17) is set.
