A tilt control device for a fork lift truck comprises a tilt spool for operating the tilt cylinder, a pilot operation type flow rate control valve connected to the hydraulic pump via the tilt spool and adapted to be switched between a fully opened position and a half opened position which are different in opening from each other in response to addition/deletion of a pilot pressure, a pilot operation type logic valve disposed between the rod side oil compartment of the tilt cylinder and the flow rate control valve and adapted to permit hydraulic oil to flow into the rod side oil compartment and to be operated so as to open/close relative to hydraulic oil flowing out of the rod side oil compartment in response to the addition/deletion of the pilot pressure, and an electromagnetic switching valve for controlling the addition/deletion of the pilot pressure to the flow rate control valve and the logic valve.

Tilt control device for fork lift truck

A lift control valve is switched based on the manipulation of a lift lever, so that a lift cylinder extends or retracts to move a fork, supported on a mast, to move up or down. A check valve, which is actuated with a pilot pressure, is placed between the lift control valve and the lift cylinder. A pilot pipe led out from a pipe directly coupled to an oil tank is connected to a port of the check valve. A tilt control valve is switched based on the manipulation of a tilt lever, so that a tilt cylinder extends or retracts to tilt the mast. An electromagnetic valve is disposed between the tilt cylinder and the tilt control valve. When values necessary to drive the fork are detected, a controller control the electromagnetic valve based on those values.

Hydraulic control apparatus for industrial vehicles

A hydraulic device for a forklift is disclosed. The forklift includes a tilting mast and a fork supported by the mast so that the fork is lifted and lowered. A tilt cylinder operates to tilt the mast by means of oil supplied by a tilt valve. A restricting valve is arranged in an oil passage connecting the tilt cylinder with the tilt valve. When the mast is tilted with the fork carrying an object and located higher than a predetermined reference position, the restricting valve closes the oil passage so that the angle of the tilting mast is limited. A check valve is arranged between the tilt cylinder and the restricting valve. The check valve blocks oil flow from the tilt cylinder to the restricting valve so that the position of the mast is maintained. This prevents unintentional movement of the mast.
