Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forklifts, in particular to an armrest for a stand-on forklift. Background Art
[0002] "Stand-on" refers to the position of the driver. In a stand-on forklift, the driver stands, which is contrary to a common sit-on forklift where the driver sits. According to the official classification standard of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the United States, stand-on forklifts are classified as Class III powered industrial trucks.
[0003] The authorized announcement number CN219906892U discloses an armrest for a stand-on forklift and a stand-on forklift. This patented technology provides lateral support to the left or right side of the operator on the forklift pallet through the first armrest or the second armrest, and further provides rear support (i.e., backward support) to the rear direction of the operator's body on the forklift pallet through the rear support structure of the first armrest or the second armrest. That is, it provides more support directions for the operator's body (such as lateral support and rear support), obtains a larger support range, improves the comfort of the operator, is more ergonomic, and also realizes the safety protection of the operator. However, in this solution, when protecting the operator, the armrest is relatively narrow, which can also be said to be a single-arm type armrest. This kind of armrest facilitates the operator's getting on and off, but the safety is extremely poor. Due to the single-arm design, they are prone to a danger called bottom collision. The rear of the operator is almost exposed without a protection structure. If the forklift reverses and hits the shelf, the forklift body can pass under the horizontal beam, sandwiching the operator between the beam and the front of the operation room, causing serious injuries. Therefore, an armrest for a stand-on forklift is needed to improve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
