  • Publication number: 20190169804
    Abstract: A method by means of which the paving result of the road covering can be improved. For the production of a road covering, road-building material is supplied by a pivoting conveyor of a feeder to a supply container of a road paver. In the case of a relative movement between the feeder and the road paver, the pivoting conveyor has to be manually readjusted, which can result in irregularities in the road covering. This is achieved in that the container of the at least one construction vehicle is detected by at least one sensor unit of the road-building machine.

  • Publication number: 20020023796
    Abstract: In a transmission for a steerable drive wheel (4) of a forklift, which transmission is pivotable around a vertical axle (8) and contains a spur gear stage (24, 26) and a second reduction stage formed by a pinion shaft (28, 30) and a bevel wheel (36), the second reduction stage is designed as hypoid wheel set (30, 36) with positive axle offset. Unlike the designs known already, it is hereby possible, by adhering to preset limits of the outer dimensions and a preset reduction ratio, to obtain a toothing of more supporting capacity and a thicker pinion shaft (28) so that the loads of the tooth flanks are canceled and it is possible to use a design of a high loaded pinion bearing (34) having more supporting capacity.
