MECHANICAL LIFT VEHICLE AND INSTALLATION COMPRISING THIS VEHICLE

摘要

The vehicle comprises (1) a suspension (4) presenting an upper end (6) from which is transversely extended a portion (8) of hanging to an aerial carrying and hauling cable (10), and a controller (12), to control a predetermined technical function. Moreover, the vehicle (1) comprises an offset arm (14), extending in a transverse plane, from one side of the upper end (6) opposite to that from which the hanging portion (8) is extended, the offset arm (14) presenting a proximal end arranged at the height of the upper end (6) and a distal end supporting the controller (12), an abutment member (16), and connecting means, connecting the proximal end of the offset arm (14) and the suspension (4), the connecting means enabling displacement of the offset arm (14) in the transverse plane.

1. A mechanical lift vehicle comprising
a suspension including an upper end from which is transversely extended a hanging portion which is intended to suspend the mechanical lift vehicle from an aerial carrying and hauling cable, and a controller which is intended to control a predetermined technical function of the mechanical lift vehicle; an offset arm, extending in a transverse plane substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the mechanical lift vehicle, from one side of the upper end opposite to that from which the hanging portion is extended, the offset arm having a proximal end arranged at a height of the upper end of the suspension and a distal end supporting the controller; an abutment member against which the offset arm is intended to bear; and a connecting device which connects the proximal end of the offset arm and the suspension, the connecting device enabling displacement of the offset arm in the transverse plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mechanical lift vehicle, wherein the offset arm is movable with respect to the suspension between a pre-engagement position, where the offset arm, bearing on the abutment member, is intended to come into contact with a guide ramp of a mechanical lift installation, and an engagement position wherein the offset arm, at a distance from the abutment member, is intended to slide along the guide ramp so that the controller allows carrying out the predetermined technical function.
