  • Publication number: 20230264936
    Abstract: The device (40) is designed to be movably placed in a dedicated location of a machine using a forklift. It comprises passages for the tines (401) of a fork of a forklift and a locking system (300) for selectively locking the device in the dedicated location. The locking system comprises at least one locking member (301, 302) which is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position in order to be engaged and disengaged, respectively, with a retaining member of the dedicated location of the machine. The locking member (301, 302) is resiliently or gravitationally biased in the direction of the locking position. It comprises at least one actuating member (311) extending into a passage for a tine (401) of the fork of the forklift to be actuated by the latter so as to move the locking member into the unlocking position.

  • Publication number: 20220098017
    Abstract: An all-terrain outdoor elevating nacelle comprising a mechanism for lifting a working platform, this mechanism being mounted on a chassis provided with a front bridge and a rear bridge that are provided with wheels. The motive power for moving the elevating nacelle on the ground is provided by a first electric motor and that for actuating the lifting mechanism is provided by a second electric motor via a hydraulic pump which it drives. The motors are supplied by a battery that can be recharged by one or more single-phase chargers on board the elevating nacelle from a single-phase or three-phase electrical network, a slot being further provided for mounting a power supply unit intended to be connected to the charger(s) to recharge the battery. The elevating nacelle is more environmentally friendly and quieter.

  • Patent number: 10676334
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aerial work platform including: a frame (1) mounted on wheels (4, 5); a work platform (3) mounted on a lifting mechanism (2); two side bars (10) arranged under the frame and movable relative to said frame between: either a raised position, and/or a lowered position in which said bars extend past the frame toward the ground; and an actuator (30) assigned solely to actuating the two bars to move said bars between these two positions, the actuator having two opposite ends by means of which said actuator moves the two bars by varying the distance between the two ends. The actuator moves each of the two bars by means of another of the two ends and is maintained only by the two ends. This actuation device is particularly simple, compact, and cost effective.
