Abstract

To provide a bridge table used in loading and unloading work by a forklift, which can receive an object in a stable state and deliver it to a table of a different height. [Solution] This is a table with an insertion port for the forklift's claws, and two shafts, one on the left and one on the right, that can be rotated with a handle are attached under the table, and the shafts have multiple adjustment bolts of different lengths attached to the front and back. After unlocking and lifting the table, the handle can be pulled forward to rotate the shaft. This allows the desired adjustment bolt to be placed on the side that stands on the floor, and then the handle is pushed in to lock it. The table can then be lowered to the floor by operating the forklift, and the four adjustment bolts will land and stabilize, allowing stable receipt of cargo from the side. The height can also be set according to the number of adjustment bolts attached, making it easy to change to a different height.

Description

Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention] Generally, when inserting the forklift into the pallet insertion opening and loading a load onto the pallet from the side, the load of the load can cause the pallet to tilt, creating a danger.There was a demand for a table for use in forklift loading and unloading operations that could receive the load in a stable state and hand it over to a table of a different height. [Means for solving the problem] This is a table with an insertion hole for the forklift claws used in loading and unloading operations with a forklift. Its features are: There are two shafts, one on the left and one on the right, attached under the table that can be rotated with a handle, and these shafts have several adjustment bolts of different lengths attached to the front and back. After unlocking, the shaft can be rotated by pulling the handle towards you while the table is raised. This allows the desired adjustment bolts to be placed on the side that stands on the floor, and then after pushing the handle all the way in to lock it, the table can be lowered to the floor using a forklift, where the four adjustment bolts will land and stabilize, allowing stable receipt of cargo from the side. Also, the height can be set according to the number of adjustment bolts attached, making it easy to change to a different height. Effect of the Invention Unlike the unstable state where the forklift's tines are just stuck in the pallet, loading and unloading work can now be done in a stable state. In particular, when receiving cargo from the side of the forklift, what was previously a dangerous task can now be done stably and safely. In addition, the table height can be changed with a single touch of the handle, making the transfer of cargo smoother. [Brief description of the drawings] [Figure 1] Overall view DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS For example, when space constraints mean that cargo must be handed over from the side of the forklift, and the received cargo must then be transferred to another table at a different height. EXAMPLES A case where heavy rolled material is received by a forklift and handed over to the machine. When initially receiving the work, the table height was 500 mm. After receiving the work, when handing it over to the machine, the table height was 300 mm. Furthermore, due to space restrictions, handing over was only possible from the side. In such cases, using this "bridge table" makes work safer and makes the job easier.

Claims

[Claim 1] This is a table with an insertion hole for the forklift claws used in loading and unloading operations with a forklift. Its features are: There are two shafts, one on the left and one on the right, attached under the table that can be rotated with a handle, and these shafts have several adjustment bolts of different lengths attached to the front and back. After unlocking, the shaft can be rotated by pulling the handle towards you while the table is raised. This allows the desired adjustment bolts to be placed on the side that stands on the floor, and then after pushing the handle all the way in to lock it, the table can be lowered to the floor using a forklift, and the four adjustment bolts will land and stabilize, allowing stable receipt of cargo from the side. Also, the height can be set according to the number of adjustment bolts attached, making it easy to change to a different height.
