The influence of the load location over the operating characteristies of lift-transportation vehicles as well as over driver efficiency has been researched. Published experimental data failed to show the real picture of load location influence on transportation vehicle’s efficiency.


The stages of the research work are as follows:

The lift load truck is a specialized type of lifting and transportation vehicles. It is a transportation means that has an apparatus for load processing which is a type of manipulator. Combination of transportation and load processing functions requires an adequate construction of the vehicle. It concerns both construction and the lift-load truck manipulator.


It should be considered that the load has an impact on construction adaptability. Different load-holding devices have been developed for every type of load; move free-motion levels are added to the lift-load truck manipulator, depending on the type of load and technological way of its processing. The dynamics of the lift-load trucks is influenced by the load. There is a 20 – 40 % difference between the loaded and unloaded vehicle. Besides the weight center is shifted, especially in the frontal fork lift trucks. Considerable shift in weight center of the vehicle may lead to loss of stability and if stability is lost in the longitudinal symmetry axis it may cause an accident. That is why stability supply account is considered in the construction of the vehicle along with stability devices. The operator keeps under control the lateral load shift of the vehicle; while longitudinal load shifts cannot be easily noticed (the weight center is determined visually and subjectively). Nevertheless, such shifts reduce the productivity of a vehicle, thus questioning efficiency and security of conducted work.


After research of the problem of cross direction stabilization of weight center, a number of load alignment methods were developed and patented, as well as devices for their realization.


Those devices are invented taking into consideration the peculiarities of manipulator construction. They widen the range of manipulator’s potential possibilities for the better efficiency of the vehicle.


Positioning is one of the main methods. It is based on tensions alignment in the chains of the load lifter.


The introduction of load alignment device resulted in a change in technological side of load processing. It included the operation of load alignment parallel to the operation of transportation and promoted the general efficiency of work.


A new experimental fork lift truck has been constructed for the approbation of the suggested methods. It includes the fork lateral alignment. The results of experiment proved the high efficiency of the suggested inventions. The introduction of alignment device has improved the stability of moving vehicle and made the driver’s work handling the rectilinear motion easier. The vibrochange of the driver’s seat is lower under the alignment device, especially in cross direction. It has been carried out that the usage of the alignment device along with the device for lateral alignment promoted the productivity of the fork lift truck.


The creation of a complex system of load processing management and other truck units control have been developed. Thus, the system would provide a complex approach to improvement of load processing and would consequently reduce its cost price and promote the efficiency of usage of lift load truck.

The complex study of exploitation properties of vehicles, especially lifting and agricultural vehicles, will allow to optimize its characteristics as yet during design. So when it comes to exploitation within specific conditions, it will provide the maximum efficiency of functioning.


The factors which influence lift-load truck’s exploitational efficiency have been classified. It has become the basis for the creation of the mathematical model of fork lift truck’s functioning and movement. The second level of Lagrange’s equations is used for the model. The system of those equations belongs to the non-linear integral differential equations, because they include non-linear derivatives of unknown function as well as their integrals.


This model has been used for creating an applied software package LLTruckTM, which is based on Hemming’s numeral method. The vibrational travel of fork lift truck body at different points especially at the driver’s seat has been studied using the applied software. Employing the model and the applied software simplified the solutions for the range of problems and improved the quality of vehicles’ research.

For mathematical model of fork lift truck functioning and movement, which is written by Lagrange equations of 2nd level the package of applied software LL Truck tm has been created. For description of fork lift truck’s behavior and movement it is necessary to settle the initial conditions of the process; it means to input initial position and velocity of movement of fork lift truck’s main parts. Thus, the research of movement dynamics is the Koshi problem. The usage of numerical methods of calculation, especially Hemmings method, and the structure of connections in between the sub software in the applied software kit have been carried out. The subprogram-function is used in the applied software LLTtm kit, depending on the problem of the research. It allows to model the road of repeating profile by means of periodical functions of periodical argument and the road of non repeating profile by means of single function of Heavy side. Numerous usage of applied software LL Truck tm kit proves its efficiency and convenience in exploitation.

To show the number and links between generalized coordinates of mathematic models the authors suggest to use graphs. From the analyses of graph structure linkage of generalized coordinate of mathematic model it is clear that they may be divided into two types according to the number of generalized coordinates at i-level. Common to all these graphs is that there is one generalized coordinate on the first level, i.e the coordinate of relative body twist of autoloadtransportation vehicles. The presentations of links of generalized coordinates of mathematic models in the way of graphs allow to learn the mutual influence of movement of one devices and assemblies of autoloadtransportation vehicles on another and construct mathematic models taking into consideration this links.


Besides, the graphs of links allow to define what number and which one of generalized coordinates are necessary to solve definite problem of investigation.

International conference "Modeling and optimization of complex systems", January, 25-28, 2001. Kyyiv: Kyyiv university. P. 105 – 107.



The authors suggested the use of graphs for the analysis and classification of MTM according to structural and constructive characteristics. It gives the possibility to get together the vehicles of different functional classes according to the criteria of similarity of the graph. Thus, it is reasonable to use graphs for learning the interrelations between generalized coordinates of mathematical models of work and movement of MTM.


The use of graphs as the special links of generalized coordinates of mathematical models allows to realize the interrelation of work of functioning mechanisms of MTM and create mathematical models according to these links. Besides, graphs of the links allow to determine the necessary amount and the particular generalized coordinate that are so important in solving the problem under investigation. On the other hand, it is possible to check the correctness of other written derivatives in the system of equations of mathematical model.
