Description

1 / 8 Product loading fork device for forklift or crane truck, eliminating the need for pallets. [oooi] The present utility model refers to equipment that can perform loading and unloading of bricks, blocks and other artifacts used in civil construction, among other products of any kind. The device in question uses a plurality of rods that fix the objects in such a way as to fit them together and not leave them unsupported during their movement.

[0002] In the construction industry's production chain, the handling of cement artifacts such as ecological bricks, sealing or structural blocks, gutters, among others, represents a critical step from both a productive and ergonomic point of view. Traditionally, these pieces are loaded and unloaded manually, requiring intense physical strength, repetitive movements, and continuous exposure of workers to occupational risks. This scenario reflects not only limitations in productivity and daily output, but, above all, direct implications for the health of the workers. Musculoskeletal injuries, fatigue, crushing accidents, and recurrent absences are among the most frequent consequences associated with the manual transport of heavy and bulky loads, a situation aggravated by the repetitive nature and informality common in many construction sites.

[0003] In addition to directly improving working conditions and safety on the construction site, mechanization contributes to greater control of losses due to breakage, optimization of production times, and better use of labor for more technical and skilled activities. Thus, the replacement of human labor with automated systems represents not only a technological advance, but Petition 870250043666, dated 05 / 27 / 2025, page 9 / 31 2 / 8 also represents a commitment to social sustainability and the professionalization of the construction sector.

[0004] From the state of the art we can consider relevant the document CN202322084 filed on 02 / 11 / 2011 and named “Vehicle-mounted detachable brick loading and unloading machine” which aims to provide a vehicle-mounted detachable brick loading and unloading machine that is highly efficient, simple to operate and includes a manual lifting and handling system, a support system with casters and a brick fixing device, characterized by: the support system including a support leg and an upper beam connected to it; the manual lifting and handling system includes a hydraulic cylinder, a pulley block, a steel cable and a hook on one side of the support leg, the hydraulic cylinder has an upper cylinder pulley, the support leg has a steel cable mouth, the upper beam has a travel trolley on which it can walk and the lower part of the travel trolley has a symmetrical upper pulley;One end of the steel cable is fixed to the end of the steel cable and passes through the upper pulley, the support leg, an upper pulley of the travel trolley, the movable pulley, another upper pulley of the travel trolley in sequence, and is fixed to the fixed column.

[0005] Another relevant document to cite is CN219155786 filed on 12 / 22 / 2022 and named “Full-automatic brick loading and unloading machine” comprising a metal frame body, the two ends of the side wall of the metal frame body are slidingly connected with an extension kit, the two ends of the metal frame body are provided with internal grooves and one end of the internal wall of the internal groove is fixedly connected with an electric pressure rod, the Petition 870250043666, dated 05 / 27 / 2025, page 10 / 31 The 3 / 8 outlet end of the electric pressure rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the extension assembly. The upper side of the extension assembly is fixedly connected to a first auxiliary rotating part, and the inner side of the first auxiliary rotating part is rotatably connected to a rotating part. Finally, an air pump is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating member.

[0006] Despite the current equipment available, none includes such a complete device that makes the transport process safer; neither of the cited documents includes extra safety fastening, and it deals with a simple operation project that does not require specialized labor for its installation and use, dealing with a device that can be used on forklifts, tractors, or crane-type hoists.

[0007] Aiming at cost reduction, greater efficiency and optimization of labor, based on the immense importance of safety in heavy cargo transportation, the objective is to reduce the manufacturing costs of equipment so that it becomes possible to supply the consumer with a more affordable cost, and a device that meets the demand to be met.

[0008] The object of this patent has a structure built with folded steel sheets, a structure having a support (03), includes a fitting for a fork (01) and a ring (06) for hooks, and a plurality of support rods (02) that fit into the bricks.

[0009] The description and associated figures, all given by way of example, not limitation, will make the utility model patent clear.

[0013] Figure 04 represents a rear view of the device.

[0014] Figure 05 represents a perspective view with emphasis on the wheels (05) arranged on the rods (02).

[0015] Figure 06 represents a perspective view with emphasis on the wheels (05) arranged on the support base (02).

[0016] Figure 07 represents a perspective view of the equipment with the option to load it using a crane, winch, or hoist.

[0017] The device's operation is simple and continuous, being designed to facilitate the transport and organization of bricks on forklifts or similar equipment. Initially, the device is attached to the forklift forks by means of the fork attachment (01), which ensures the secure and stable fixation of the structure during operation.

[0018] On the support base (03), it comprises a plurality of support rods (02), arranged in a parallel and equidistant manner. These rods (03) have geometry and spacing dimensioned to fit directly into the holes or gaps of the bricks (04), allowing them to be organized and aligned in a stable manner during handling.

[0019] The operator fits the bricks (04) onto the support rods (02), forming a cohesive and secure assembly for transport. The number of rods (02) may vary according to the model of the device and the dimensions of any type of product that Petition 870250043666, dated 05 / 27 / 2025, page 12 / 31 5 / 8 may be used, allowing for modularity and adaptation for different applications on the construction site.

[0020] Once the bricks are in place, the complete assembly can be lifted, moved, and positioned in different locations with the aid of a forklift, without risk of disorganizing the load. This system optimizes operating time, reduces manual effort, and increases safety in the transport and storage of masonry materials, among other products from any industry.

[0021] Once the bricks are in place, the entire assembly can be lifted, moved, and positioned in different locations with the aid of a forklift, without risk of disorganizing the load. This system improves operating time, reduces manual effort, and increases safety in the transport and storage of masonry materials.

[0022] The device described herein is not limited exclusively to use on forklifts. Its structural design, especially the fork fitting (01), allows for wide versatility, enabling its application also on agricultural tractors and crane-type hoists and similar equipment that have a front shovel or compatible lifting system. This difference makes the equipment applicable in different operational scenarios, such as construction sites, rural properties, distribution centers and building materials industries.

[0023] The robustness of the support base (03) and the rigidity of the support rods (02) ensure load stability during lifting and movement, even in outdoor environments or on uneven ground, such as those found in rural areas or infrastructure works. The brick fitting system on the rods (02) remains functional independently of the traction equipment. Petition 870250043666, dated 05 / 27 / 2025, page 13 / 31 6 / 8 bricks were used, maintaining the integrity and alignment of the bricks throughout the entire process.

[0024] The use in different types of machinery broadens the scope of applicability of the device, contributing to the standardization of logistical and operational processes, regardless of the fleet of equipment available on site. This reduces the need for multiple specific accessories, concentrating the brick handling operation in a single modular and adaptable device.

[0025] In a preferred, but not limiting, embodiment, the support rods (02) are configured to be removable and / or interchangeable, which gives the device greater versatility. This feature allows the operator to replace the rods with models of different lengths, diameters or spacings, adapting the equipment to various types of bricks (04), ceramic blocks or concrete artifacts, with different geometries and dimensions.

[0026] The fixing of the rods (02) to the support base (03) can be done by means of quick fittings, threads, locking pins or other conventional mechanical mechanisms, which guarantee firmness and stability during operation, while allowing quick replacement without the need for special tools.

[0027] The model in question eliminates the need for using pallets for ecological bricks, since they have holes for transport, and tie-down straps can be used for greater stability and safety during transport.

[0028] To facilitate the mobility of the equipment, especially when it is not in active use, transport wheels (05) have been incorporated strategically positioned at two main points of the Petition 870250043666, dated 05 / 27 / 2025, page 14 / 31 7 / 8 structure. The first implementation occurs at the bottom of the support rods (02), where each rod has a wheel (05) fixed at its lower end. These wheels have a lock, allowing maneuvers in multiple directions and immobilization of the equipment when necessary.

[0029] The second wheel installation occurs at the bottom of the main support (03), which also receives a set of robust wheels (05), with load capacity suitable for the weight of the equipment and the bricks being transported. These wheels can be fixed or swivel type, depending on the desired configuration, and are fixed by means of supports welded directly to the base of the support (03), ensuring structural stability and safety during movement.

[0030] This wheel configuration, distributed both on the shafts and on the support, allows the equipment to be moved easily by a single operator, even on partially uneven terrain, reducing the physical effort required and increasing the efficiency of transport within the construction site.

[0031] The project includes the integration of a ring-type loading support (06). This structural component is firmly fixed to the upper part of the device, in a centralized position, allowing perfect balance of the assembly during lifting, in the vehicles mentioned above in the descriptive report.
