Electric stabiliser for telehandlers with telescopic arms
The patent US12043100B2 describes a stabiliser designed for telehandlers, featuring a supporting frame mounted on the telehandler's carriage and two telescopic arms. Each arm consists of a first hollow segment connected to the frame and a second hollow segment that slides within the first. An electric sliding actuator is integrated into each arm, with one end fixed to the first segment and the other to the second. This actuator is powered by a battery or battery pack and is controlled by an electronic unit that includes a memory module for recording lowering and recovery sequences, as well as a control module that generates extension signals to actuate the sliding mechanism.
Additionally, the stabiliser incorporates rotation linear actuators that allow for oscillation, which are connected to the frame and the first segments of the arms. The patent also outlines an electric telehandler that utilizes this stabiliser, featuring a carriage with drive wheels powered by an electric motor and battery system. The telehandler operates without hydraulic components between the motor and drive wheels, and includes an electro-hydraulic distributor for the rotation actuators. It can be manually operated and is equipped with an electronic control unit that receives signals from a remote control to manage the motor and stabiliser operations effectively.
