The present invention provides a scissor lift
truck (1) comprising a
chassis (2) with a
handle (6), a fork
assembly (3), and a drive unit (5) with a lifting device (4) arranged close to the
handle on the
chassis (2) and connected to the fork
assembly (3). The drive unit (5) has an
electric drive coupled to the lifting device (4), which comprises an electric lifting cylinder (40), a lifting rod (41), and a pull
handle (42) connected centrally to the lifting rod (41). The fork device (3) has two parallel fork tines (30a, 30b) connected to the drawbar (42), a retaining bracket (31) connecting the two fork tines (30a, 30b), and four scissor arm assemblies, each consisting of an outer scissor arm (32a, 32b) and an inner scissor arm (33a, 33b) connected by a joint (34a), with each fork
tine (30a, 30b) being assigned two of the scissor arm assemblies.The
chassis (2) has two parallel support rails (20a, 20b) with wheels (7) at an end near the handle and an end farther from the handle, each support rail (20a, 20b) having two parallel guide slots (21a, 21b) and each of the guide slots (21a, 21b) being assigned to one of the scissor arm assemblies. A first end of the outer scissor arms (32a, 32b) is arranged near the handle on an underside of the assigned fork
tine (30a, 30b) and is pivotally connected to the assigned fork
tine (30a, 30b) in a
fixed position. A second end of the outer scissor arms (32a, 32b) is slidably guided in one of the guide slots (21a, 21b) of the assigned support rail (20a, 20b) farther from the handle.A first end of the inner scissor arms (33a, 33b) is arranged close to the handle in one of the guide lanes (21a, 21b) of the associated support rail (20a, 20b) and is connected to the chassis (2) by a fixed pivot, and a second end of the inner scissor arms (33a, 33b) is arranged to be displaceable on the underside of the associated fork tine (30a, 30b) away from the handle.
