  • Patent number: 7617905
    Abstract: A hydraulic steering device (1) of a mobile machine, in particular of an industrial truck, includes a steering angle transmitter (2) in mechanically functional communication with a steering valve (4). As a function of the actuation of the steering angle transmitter (2), the steering valve (4) controls the connection of a steering drive (13) with a pressure fluid source (6) and a reservoir (11). To vary the translation ratio of the steering device in a simple manner, a bypass device (20) is operationally associated with the steering drive (13). By activation of the bypass device, the quantity of pressure fluid delivered from the pressure fluid source (6) to the steering drive (13) can be diverted to a reservoir (11).

  • Patent number: 7565943
    Abstract: A mobile machine, such as an industrial truck, has heat-emitting drive components (K) of a traction drive and a hydraulic work system. The traction drive includes at least one electric traction motor (3) and a traction motor control system (7). The hydraulic work system includes at least one electric pump motor (5) and a pump motor control system (6). At least some of the drive components (K) are located in a cooling circuit. The cooling circuit has a cooling device (1), to which, on the output side, the traction motor (3), the pump motor (5), the traction motor control (7), and the pump motor control system (6) are connected, and which can be connected on the input side, depending on the fluid temperature in a reservoir (9) of the hydraulic work system, to the reservoir (9) or to a return line of the heat-emitting drive components (K).

  • Publication number: 20080179118
    Abstract: An industrial truck has a vehicle frame (1) with a support section (3) that holds a battery block (4). For insertion and removal of the battery block (4), there is a lateral frame opening (3b) and a top frame opening (3a). The vehicle frame (1) has a side member (6) configured to span the support section (3). The side member (6) can be pivoted between a closed position in which it spans the support section (3) and is a component of the load-bearing structure of the vehicle frame (1) and an open position in which it allows access to the support section (3).

  • Publication number: 20080142306
    Abstract: An industrial truck, in particular counterbalance fork-lift truck, has a front drive axle (2) which has at least one electric drive motor and is fastened together with other components (K) to a vehicle frame (1). A component carrier (T) adjoining the drive axle (2) at the rear in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is rigidly connected to the drive axle (2) and at least one vibration-producing and/or vibration-transmitting component (K) is fastened on the component carrier (T). The drive axle (2) with the component carrier (T) and the components (K) fastened thereon form a preassembled axle assembly, which is elastically mounted on the vehicle frame (1).

  • Patent number: 7249645
    Abstract: An industrial truck has a vehicle frame (1) with a frame portion (2) having a lateral frame opening (2b) for receiving a battery block. A door (3) covers the frame opening (2b) and may be pivoted outwardly about a substantially vertical axis of rotation (A1). To allow the door (3) to be opened approximately 180°, the door (3) is connected to the vehicle frame (1) by a double hinge (5). A second axis of rotation (A2) is set apart and parallel to the first axis of rotation (A1) and is alterable in its position when the door (3) pivots about the first axis of rotation (A1). A device for obstructing a rotational motion of the door (3) about the second axis of rotation (A2) can be provided, which device can be active in the pivoting range between the closed position and an open position that is approximately at right angles.
