Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cargo forks, and in particular to an adjustable cargo fork for a forklift. Background Art

[0002] Adjustable forks are a device specifically designed to improve the operational flexibility of forklifts. Through an innovative mechanical structure, they achieve dynamic adjustment of angle, spacing or length, significantly enhancing the forklift's ability to handle cargo of various sizes and shapes. The core principle of this design is based on a hydraulic or electric drive system, combined with a sophisticated transmission mechanism, allowing operators to quickly and accurately adjust fork parameters during actual work to adapt to different operational requirements. Adjustable forks not only improve work efficiency, but also effectively reduce the risk of cargo damage, becoming a major innovation in the field of modern material handling.

[0003] If the forks are used in reverse, when lifting the goods, the force applied to the forks will change, and the forks may easily bend and break, causing the goods to fall. When a single fork is used to pick up goods, the weight of the goods borne by the single fork is twice that of the normal double forks, which may easily cause fatigue damage to the forks. In addition, the use of a single fork has the disadvantage of shifting the center of gravity of the goods, which may easily cause the forklift to run unstable and the goods to fall off. Some forklift operators are careless or have a weak sense of safety, and when adjusting the position of the forks, the distance between the forks and the left and right ends of the fork frame is asymmetrical, which may easily cause the center of gravity of the goods to be unstable during use, resulting in the goods falling and the vehicle overturning. When adjusting the distance between the forks, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the forks and the end of the fork frame is equal and symmetrical, which places high requirements on the professionalism of the operator.
