Description

[0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering and can be used in the production of trucks.

[0002] Classic cargo trolleys towed by walk-behind tractors have become widely used as cargo transportation vehicles.

[0003] However, these simple cargo vehicles have a number of serious drawbacks. These include a large turning radius, low traction weight of the drive wheels of the walk-behind tractor due to their distance from the vehicle's center of gravity, difficulty in control, and dangerous and uncomfortable working conditions for the driver.

[0004] The objective of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned shortcomings and create a highly maneuverable cargo vehicle with high consumer qualities.

[0005] The problem is solved by the fact that the front guide and drive wheel is mounted on the output shaft of the walk-behind tractor on one side and equipped with a brake on the other side of the output shaft, and the walk-behind tractor is articulated with the trolley by means of two hinges with an axis passing through the center of the wheel.

[0006] In the drawings: Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of the units of the three-wheeled cargo walk-behind tractor adapter in a side view, and Fig. 2 shows a top view.

[0007] The three-wheeled cargo walk-behind tractor adapter consists of a cargo platform 1 with a pair of driven wheels 2 and a guide and drive wheel 3 mounted on a shaft 4 of the walk-behind tractor 5. The walk-behind tractor 5 is articulated with the cargo platform 1 by means of hinges 6 and 7 mounted on brackets 8 and 9. The three-wheeled cargo walk-behind tractor adapter is equipped with a driver's seat 10 and a steering mechanism No. 11. A service brake 12 is installed on the output shaft 4 of the walk-behind tractor 5.

[0008] Thus, the Three-wheeled cargo walk-behind tractor adapter is a vehicle with an optimal wheelbase and a uniform weight load between the driven wheels 2 and the guide and drive wheel 3.

[0009] The vehicle layout, with the guide and drive wheels 3 positioned directly next to the front wall of the cargo platform 1, allows for the creation of a highly maneuverable cargo vehicle superior to existing counterparts. Almost all types of walk-behind tractors can be used to drive the Three-Wheel Cargo Walk-Behind Tractor Adapter without any modifications to their design. The service brake 12, mounted on the output shaft 4 of the walk-behind tractor 5, is a classic automotive disc brake with a hydraulic caliper. The steering gear 11, at the manufacturer's discretion, can be worm-and-roller, rack-and-pinion, or hydraulic. The cargo platform 1 can be of the dump type or equipped with other specialized equipment.

Claims

A three-wheeled cargo walk-behind tractor adapter comprising a cargo trolley with a pair of driven wheels and a walk-behind tractor, characterized in that the front guide and drive wheel is mounted on the output shaft of the walk-behind tractor on one side and is equipped with a brake on the other side of the output shaft, and the walk-behind tractor is articulated with the trolley by means of two hinges with an axle passing through the center of the wheel.
