Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heavy forklifts, in particular to a fixing tool and a fork device for overlapping transportation of forks of a forklift. Background Art

[0002] For small-tonnage forklifts, the forks can be removed and the whole vehicle can be transported in containers. The forks are small in size and weight and can be placed inside the container. For heavy-duty forklifts, the width of the vehicle is 4m and the length is 8m, of which the standard forks are 2.4m long. When transporting heavy-duty forklifts abroad, roll-on / roll-off transportation is usually selected, and the billing method for roll-on / roll-off transportation is based on the space size of the vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the disassembly of components and minimize the overall dimensions of the vehicle while ensuring that the vehicle can travel normally to the roll-on / roll-off ship, so as to reduce transportation costs.

[0003] The most economical way is to remove the forks. There are many ways to place the removed forks. Some fix the forks on the counterweight, but the paint on the forks is easily damaged, and the counterweight is curved, making it difficult to install the forks. Some fix the forks side by side at the front of the fork frame, but since the heavy forks are 300mm wide, two forks placed side by side plus the limit mechanism exceed the length of the vehicle by 700mm, so the transportation cost of the whole vehicle is also high, and the installation process requires the cooperation of multiple people.
