Industrial truck with a lateral maintenance opening
An industrial truck, in particular a reach truck or reach-fork truck, has a maintenance opening. At least the following components are accessible through the same maintenance opening: at least one electric connector ( 10, 16, 17 ), a hydraulic tank ( 4 ) for level monitoring and/or for topping up hydraulic fluid, and electrical fuses ( 9 ). Furthermore, a brake fluid container ( 7 ) can be accessible through the maintenance opening for level monitoring and/or for topping up brake fluid, as can a hydraulic oil filter ( 5 ). The maintenance opening can be closed with a door, preferably with a folding door ( 1 ).
1. An industrial truck, comprising:
a lateral maintenance opening located on a single side surface of bodywork of the industrial truck, wherein at least the following components are accessible through the same maintenance opening:
at least three electric connectors;
a hydraulic tank for level monitoring and/or for topping up hydraulic fluid; and
electrical fuses,
wherein the lateral maintenance opening is closed with a single door hingedly movable about a substantially vertical axis,
wherein a first electric connector, which is accessible through the lateral maintenance opening, is arranged on a battery block located in the industrial truck and connects the battery block to a power electronics unit that drives a traction drive and a lifting drive,
wherein a second electric connector, which is accessible through the maintenance opening, is connected to the power electronics unit of the industrial truck,
wherein a third electric connector, which is accessible through the maintenance opening, is arranged to connect the industrial truck to an external voltage source, and
wherein the third electric connector is connected to a fourth electric connector, the fourth electric connector being arranged with respect to the lateral maintenance opening and the door such that the fourth electric connector is accessible when the door is closed and inaccessible when the door is open and the fourth electric connector being adapted to connect to an external voltage source via a fifth electric connector when the door is closed.
2. The industrial truck according to claim 1 , including a brake fluid container that is accessible through the maintenance opening for level monitoring and/or for topping up brake fluid.
3. The industrial truck according to claim 2 , including a hydraulic oil filter that is accessible through the maintenance opening.
4. The industrial truck according to claim 2 , including an indicator for a battery acid level that is accessible through the maintenance opening for level monitoring.
5. The industrial truck according to claim 2 , wherein the third electric connector is arranged on a connecting cable in order to connect the industrial truck to an external voltage source.
6. The industrial truck according to claim 1 , including a hydraulic oil filter that is accessible through the maintenance opening.
7. The industrial truck according to claim 6 , including an indicator for a battery acid level that is accessible through the maintenance opening for level monitoring.
8. The industrial truck according to claim 6 , wherein the third electric connector is arranged on a connecting cable in order to connect the industrial truck to an external voltage source.
9. The industrial truck according to claim 1 , including an indicator for a battery acid level that is accessible through the maintenance opening for level monitoring.
10. The industrial truck according to claim 1 , wherein the third electric connector is arranged on a connecting cable in order to connect the industrial truck to an external voltage source.
11. The industrial truck according to claim 10 , wherein the connecting cable is connected to the fourth electric connector.
12. The industrial truck according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth electric connector is positioned adjacent to the substantially vertical axis about which the single door is hingedly movable.
13. The industrial truck according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth electric connector is a plug adapted to connect to an electric socket, the fourth electric connector being accessible from an exterior of the industrial truck when the door is closed.
