US Patent:

6595306, Jul 22, 2003

Filed:

Aug 9, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/925268

Inventors:

Allen T. Trego - New Bremen OH
John I. Koeper - New Bremen OH
Robert J. Henshaw - Newnan GA

Assignee:

Crown Equipment Corporation - New Bremen OH

International Classification:

B62D 5104

US Classification:

180 192, 180 193, 180334

Abstract:

Supplemental walk along control for walkie/rider pallet trucks is provided by supplemental jog switches and coast release switches provided adjacent to the base of load carrying forks. The supplemental jog switches are enabled during coasting operation so that operators can advance to the base of the forks to accelerate the trucks between closely spaced picks located along substantially straight portions of pick routes. For application of the trucks brakes, the operators activate the coast release switches to release the coast mode and enable deadman brake mechanisms to brake the trucks. A steering direction detector is provided to determine the direction of the steered wheel so that if the steered wheel is not directed substantially straight ahead, then operation of the truck from the supplemental jog switches is disabled.

Assignee:

Crown Equipment Corporation - New Bremen OH

International Classification:

B62D051/04

US Classification:

180 192, 180 193, 180334

Abstract:

Supplemental walk along control for walkie/rider pallet trucks is provided by supplemental controllers such as jog and coast release switches and/or twist grips (or other drive motor speed controllers) provided adjacent the base of load carrying forks. The supplemental controllers are enabled during coasting operation so that operators can advance to the base of the forks to accelerate the trucks between closely spaced picks located along substantially straight portions of pick routes. For application of the trucks' brakes, the operators activate the coast release switches to release the coast mode and enable deadman brake mechanisms to brake the trucks and/or by plug braking with the twist grips. A steering direction detector is provided to determine the direction of the steered wheel so that if the steered wheel is not directed substantially straight ahead, then operation of the truck from the supplemental controls is disabled.
