Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a foldable forklift mast transfer frame includes: a transfer frame body 1 for placing a forklift mast 10, and detachable support leg assemblies 2 installed on the four corners of the transfer frame body 1, the top of the support leg assembly 2 being engaged with the bottom of the upper transfer frame body 1.

[0026] The transfer frame 1 includes a lower frame and an upper frame, which are fixedly connected by a support structure.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the lower shelf and the upper shelf have the same structure, specifically including: a first rectangular tube 1-2, a second rectangular tube 1-3, a third rectangular tube 1-4 and a fourth rectangular tube 1-5 fixedly connected to each other to form a rectangular frame, and a reinforcing rectangular tube 1-6 is provided in the middle of the rectangular frame.

[0028] The difference lies in that the upper shelf is equipped with a panel 1-9, and a positioning plate 1-7 is welded to the outside of the panel 1-9. A rubber block 3 for clamping the forklift mast 10 is provided on the panel 1-9, and the rubber block 3 is fixedly installed on the positioning plate 1-7, the panel 1-9, or the support structure by a first screw 5. A polyurethane pad 4 for protecting the forklift mast 10 is provided on the panel 1-9. The rubber block 3 is used for positioning the mast in the width direction after it is placed on the transfer rack, and the polyurethane pad 4 contacts the forklift mast when it is placed, protecting the paint on the forklift mast. The polyurethane pad 4 is fixed to the panel 1-9 by a second screw 6.

[0029] The support structure includes: a first support frame 1-1 located at the four corners of the lower shelf, the height of the first support frame 1-1 being higher than that of the upper shelf to ensure that the forks can be smoothly inserted during loading, unloading, and transfer; a support leg assembly 2 is installed in the hollow cavity of the first support frame 1-1. The first support frame 1-1 has circular holes for installing the support leg assembly 2, and there is a notch on the side of the first support frame 1-1 perpendicular to the circular holes, with the notch facing the rectangular frame direction of the transfer frame 1 during welding.

[0030] In addition, the first support frame 1-1 is equipped with lifting rings 1-8 for the transfer frame 1 used for handling. The lifting rings 1-8 serve both as lifting devices and as lateral positioning devices when the transfer frame legs are folded and stacked. To increase support, vertical reinforcing supports 1-10 are also installed between all upper and lower shelves. The height of the reinforcing supports 1-10 must be greater than the maximum thickness of the forks to ensure that the forks can be easily inserted during loading, unloading, and transfer.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the support leg assembly 2 includes: a seventh rectangular tube 2-1, two eighth rectangular tubes 2-2 are installed on the seventh rectangular tube 2-1, and a round tube 2-3 is installed on the eighth rectangular tube 2-2. The round tube 2-3 passes through the inner hole of the seventh rectangular tube 2-1 and is fixedly installed with the seventh rectangular tube 2-1. The round tube 2-3 is installed on the transfer frame 1.

[0032] The seventh rectangular tube 2-1 has a slotted hole 2-4, and a chamfer is provided on one side of the lower end of the slotted hole 2-4. This is to prevent interference with the first support frame 1-1 when the outrigger assembly 2 is folded down. The seventh rectangular tube 2-1 has a slotted hole 2-4. When the outrigger assembly 2 is installed on the transfer frame 1, it is fixed by bolts 7, washers 8, and nuts 9, with bolts 7 close to the upper end of the slotted hole 2-4. When the outrigger assembly 2 is folded, it is lifted upwards, and bolts 7 move to the lower end of the slotted hole in the outrigger assembly 2.

[0033] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] like Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the stacking and transport of a forklift mast on a transfer rack after it has been placed on the rack. The assembled forklift mast (without the rack attached) is manually lifted, with the mast supports facing upwards. The forklift mast is placed on the polyurethane pad 4 of the transfer rack, with one side of the forklift mast's width direction pressed against the rubber pad 3, and the other side positioned using the rubber pad 3 along the width direction. Then, the outrigger assembly 2 is manually lifted, and the workpiece is placed on another transfer rack using the same method. Before transport, a forklift or lifting tool is used to place one transfer rack with the forklift mast already in place onto the outrigger assembly 2 of another transfer rack, completing the stacking and storage of the two transfer racks.

[0035] like Figure 8 The diagram shows the transfer rack with its legs folded up and the rack stacked when no forklift mast is placed on it. To remove the forklift mast from the transfer rack, a lifting rope is manually threaded through the space between the transfer rack and the mast to remove the mast. Then, leg assembly 2 is lifted upwards and folded down. After unloading a batch of materials from the transfer rack, the folded transfer rack (leg assembly 2) is stacked to save space and facilitate transportation.

[0036] This invention provides a foldable forklift mast transfer rack, which ensures safe and reliable transport of forklift masts. While meeting height and load requirements, it can be stacked for transport, eliminating the risk of bumps and damage to the forklift mast during long-distance transport. When the mast is not in use, the legs are folded, and the racks are stacked to reduce height and facilitate transport.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above specific examples are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, any improvements or modifications that those skilled in the art may make to certain parts of this utility model still embody the principles of this utility model and achieve its purpose, and all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
