CA 2302051

The motor compartment (400) of a fork lift truck (10) is modified so that the operator's feet extend into the space normally required by the motor compartment. A motor support structure (430) is installed between the traction motor (410) and the gear box (440) which is connected to the steerable, powered wheel (25). The motor support structure occupies a smaller space than the traction motor itself, thus increasing the space available to the operator's compartment (70), at least in a limited vertical location adjacent to the support. With the traction motor out of the way, sufficient space for elevated pedals (130, 135, 140) is provided, thus providing the operator (200) ample space to operate the truck while seated. A battery compartment (20) and hydraulic system (500, 505, 510, 515) of the truck are positioned adjacent to one another and ahead of the operator's compartment/motor compartment. In this way, the battery compartment and hydraulic system are positioned such that they are clear of the operator's compartment.

L'invention concerne un chariot élévateur à fourche (10) dont le compartiment moteur (400) est modifié pour permettre au cariste de manutention d'étendre les pieds dans l'espace normalement occupé par ledit compartiment. Une structure de support de moteur (430) est installée entre le moteur de traction (410) et la boîte de vitesses (440) qui est reliée à la roue motrice orientable (25). Cette structure occupe un espace plus petit que celui du moteur de traction proprement dit, ce qui augmente l'espace disponible pour le poste de conduite (70), au moins dans une zone verticale limitée, adjacente au support moteur. Comme le moteur de traction n'encombre plus l'espace, il reste assez de place pour loger des pédales élevées (130, 135, 140), ce qui laisse au cariste (200) un espace amplement suffisant pour manoeuvrer le chariot en position assise. Un logement d'accumulateur (20) et le système hydraulique (500, 505, 510, 515) du chariot sont placés en position adjacente l'un par rapport à l'autre, et en avant par rapport au poste de conduite/compartiment moteur. Ainsi, le logement d'accumulateur et le système hydraulique sont dégagés de l'espace réservé au poste de conduite.
