  • Patent number: 5329441
    Abstract: A control device for hydraulic equipment where an oil pressure sensor provides an oil pressure output. The sensed pressure output is used in a table to derive a controlled variable limit which is then compared with a controlled variable input. The smaller of the input and limit are used to control hydraulic pressure supplied to the hydraulic oil line. However, also included is a correction device which adjusts the table depending upon whether the output is at a desired oil pressure value or not.

  • Patent number: 5238086
    Abstract: On a forklift equipped with a full free lift mast, a limit switch for detecting the maximum free lift of fork on an inner mast is installed in such a manner when the limit switch is turned on, the raising control of fork is stopped, by which a collision between the inner mast and the ceiling is prevented.

  • Patent number: 5184699
    Abstract: In a control device for forklift on which a flow control signal is sent from a controller in accordance with a manipulated variable of work machine lever operated by the operator and this flow control signal regulates the degree of opening of an electromagnetic proportional control valve in an oil pipe line to control the working speed of lift cylinders, the degree of opening of the electromagnetic proportional control valve is regulated by a flow control signal having a characteristic such that the value of flow control signal changes in accordance with the load of lift cylinders in the inching zone where the manipulated variable of work machine lever is relatively small, which improves the operability in the inching zone.
