Industrial truck structure with rigid latching of battery compartment door

摘要

A counterweight fork-lift truck comprises a vehicle frame 1 having a frame portion 2 with a lateral frame opening 2b, configured for receiving a battery block. A door 3 is provided for covering the frame opening 2b. The door 3 may be pivoted outwards about a substantially vertical axis of rotation A. The door 3 and its force-transmitting locking unit 4 reinforce the frame 1. The locking unit 4 typically comprises a force transmission element 5 which receives tensile and pressure forces and can be adjusted in the longitudinal and height direction. A leaf spring (10 fig 2) may secure the door 3 in position. The unit 4 may comprise a Bowden cable operated latch.
