Abstract

An external charger is to be easily transported and securely prevented from falling during transport. A wheeled platform for external charger for transporting an external charger supplying electric power to a working vehicle driven by an electric motor includes: a pedestal where the external charger is placed; and a caster and a support pillar attached to the pedestal. The pedestal or the support pillar is provided with an engagement part which a blade of the working vehicle can be engaged with. The engagement part is configured in such a way that a movement regulating member preventing the blade from wobbling can be attached in a state where the caster is spaced apart from a ground by lifting the blade further from a state where the blade is engaged.

Claims (21)

1 . A wheeled platform for transporting an external charger that supplies electric power to a working vehicle driven by an electric motor, the wheeled platform for transporting external charger comprising:

a pedestal where the external charger is placed; and

a caster and a support pillar attached to the pedestal,

the pedestal or the support pillar being provided with an engagement part which an upper end part of a blade of the working vehicle can be engaged with,

a movement regulating member preventing the blade from wobbling being configured in such a way as to be detachably attached to the engagement part in a state where the caster is spaced apart from a ground by lifting the blade further from a state where the upper end part of the blade is engaged.

2 . The wheeled platform for external charger according to claim 1 , wherein

the engagement part

is formed in a U-shape opening downward as viewed from a lateral side, and

is configured in such a way that an inner surface on a rear side abuts on a rear surface of the blade and an inner surface on a front side does not abut on a front surface of the blade and forms a space part having a predetermined dimension, in a state where the caster is spaced apart from the ground by lifting the blade further from a state where the upper end part is made to enter and abut on a position corresponding to a bottom part of an opening, and is configured in such a way that the movement regulating member regulating the front surface of the blade from moving in a direction of abutting on the inner surface on the front side inside the space part can be attached.

3 . The wheeled platform for external charger according to claim 1 , wherein

a U-shaped member is used as the movement regulating member.

4 . The wheeled platform for external charger according to claim 2 , wherein

a U-shaped member is used as the movement regulating member.

5 . The wheeled platform for external charger according to claim 1 , wherein

a wheel stopper that is U-shaped and is held in such a way as to be able to be accommodated in and taken out from a holder provided in the wheeled platform for external charger and is configured to be able to be engaged with and released from the caster, and that is engaged with the caster and thus stops the caster from rotating, is also used as the movement regulating member.

6 . The wheeled platform for external charger according to claim 2 , wherein

a wheel stopper that is U-shaped and is held in such a way as to be able to be accommodated in and taken out from a holder provided in the wheeled platform for external charger and is configured to be able to be engaged with and released from the caster, and that is engaged with the caster and thus stops the caster from rotating, is also used as the movement regulating member.

7 . The wheeled platform for external charger according to claim 1 , wherein

the engagement part is configured in such a way that a front end part of a grounding part of a bucket of the working vehicle can enter, instead of the upper end part of the blade or in addition to the upper end part of the blade.

8 . The wheeled platform for external charger according to claim 2 , wherein

the engagement part is configured in such a way that a front end part of a grounding part of a bucket of the working vehicle can enter, instead of the upper end part of the blade or in addition to the upper end part of the blade.
