Material handling vehicle transmission

摘要

A vehicle of the type described wherein the torque converter (200) has an input shaft adapted to be driven by the engine and connected to an impeller (241) and an output shaft (203) adapted to drive the ground engaging means and connected to a turbine (244), torque being transmitted between the impeller and the turbine hydro-kinetically by fluid and a reactor member (245) in the fluid path and there being a lock up clutch (250) which, when in an operative condition, connects the torque converter for direct drive without torque conversion between the input shaft and the output shaft and which, when in an inoperative condition, permits of drive through the torque converter with torque conversion. <IMAGE>
