    Platform truck and method for transporting goods
    The present invention relates to a platform truck for transporting goods. Such platform trolleys are used, among other things, for moving goods in a warehouse and for the supply and removal of products within and between companies.
    Various platform trolleys are known from practice which are provided with a bearing surface or bearing platform on which goods can be placed. The carrying platform is attached to a frame on which wheels are provided to enable effective displacement.
    A problem with known platform wagons is that they also have to be moved regularly empty, i.e. without load. This means that a relatively large volume must be transported. Such platform trolleys also require relatively much storage space. In addition, these platform trolleys in practice do not provide sufficiently flexible usable support options for the goods to be moved with the platform trolley to prevent, for example, their shifting on the bearing surface. This limits the flexible usability of conventional platform cars.
    The present invention has for its object to solve the above problems or at least to reduce them.
    For this purpose the present invention provides a platform trolley, wherein the platform trolley according to the invention comprises: a frame provided with a base support surface on which goods can be placed; at least one additional bearing surface with which in use the total bearing surface can be increased; a number of wheels fitted to the frame provided with a braking system; and a number of recesses arranged in the bearing surface for receiving stakes.
    By providing a base bearing surface on the frame that functions as a kind of bearing platform, the goods to be transported can be placed on it and then moved to the desired location with the aid of the platform truck. For this purpose a number of wheels are mounted on the frame, provided with a braking system to bring about a standstill, if desired, in time. This is particularly relevant if relatively heavy loads are moved.
    By providing a braking system on at least a number of the wheels fitted to the frame, it is achieved that the platform truck can be stopped in a relatively simple manner. This is particularly relevant if relatively heavy goods are moved and where there would otherwise be a longer braking distance and / or greater forces required.
    By providing recesses arranged in the bearing surface, so-called stakes can be placed as additional supports. According to the invention, a number of such recesses are provided in the bearing surface for being able to place stanchions at several positions. In this way a flexible use of these stakes is possible, such that a larger assortment of goods can be moved as cargo with the platform truck according to the invention. This, for example, prevents goods from sliding during braking of the platform truck.
    To this end, the recesses are preferably arranged spread out over the entire surface of the bearing surface, except around the bearing surface. Here, the recesses for the stakes are preferably also provided in the at least one additional bearing surface for further increasing the flexible placement thereof.
    According to the invention, at least one additional bearing surface is provided, with which the total bearing surface can be enlarged. By using the additional support, a larger quantity of goods can be moved to the desired location in one transport movement. This makes effective transport of goods possible.
    By providing an additional bearing surface, the total bearing surface can be increased in use. This total bearing surface is formed by the basic bearing surface and by the at least one additional bearing surface. The additional bearing surface is herein preferably seen on the side of the platform truck, seen in the normal direction of movement of the platform truck. This means that in this embodiment the width of the platform truck can be effectively increased. Two additional bearing surfaces are preferably provided, i.e. one additional bearing surface on the right-hand side and one additional bearing surface on the left-hand side, viewed in the conventional direction of travel of the platform truck according to the invention. In this way an enlargement of the total bearing surface can be effected in an effective manner.
    In an advantageous preferred embodiment according to the invention, the at least one additional bearing surface is provided with a hinge for pivotally moving the additional bearing surface relative to the base bearing surface.
    By providing a hinge on the frame and / or the basic bearing surface, an additional bearing surface can be hingedly provided. This means that in use the additional bearing surface is brought substantially in the same plane as the basic bearing surface, such that goods can be moved effectively. If the additional bearing surface is not required, it can preferably be folded away by performing a rotational movement of the hinge, preferably about a longitudinal axis in the longitudinal direction of the platform truck.
    The additional bearing surface is herein preferably folded upwards, so that it is located above the basic bearing surface in a folded up, unused condition. In this way the required storage space is reduced and the maneuverability of the platform truck without load is additionally increased, such that the platform truck can be moved more efficiently.
    In a presently preferred embodiment, the hinge is provided with a support surface configured to support the base support surface in a folded-up state.
    For providing a supporting surface, the hinge is preferably provided with a type of chamfer which, when folded up, rests on, preferably, the basic supporting surface. The additional bearing surface is herein placed in an at-rest state, or in an empty transport state, at an angle with respect to the basic bearing surface. This angle is preferably approximately 40-70 °, more preferably approximately 50 °, such that a user can, for example, effectively fold down the additional bearing surface. To this end, the user has a good grip on the additional bearing surface and, by exerting a limited force and movement, the additional bearing surface can rotate from a rest position to a position of use. This increases the ease of use for the user of the platform truck according to the invention.
    Optionally, the additional bearing surface is provided on a single side from a single bearing surface or from sub-parts resulting in a composite additional bearing surface. With such a composition, the additional bearing surface can be brought into sub-parts in a position of use, depending on the need and / or the goods to be moved.
    The at least one additional bearing surface is preferably provided with a number of wheels. Hereby additional support points are obtained for the platform truck, such that heavy load can also be placed wholly or partly on the additional bearing surfaces.
    In a presently preferred embodiment of the platform trolley, the working width of the total bearing surface is approximately 2 meters and the length is in the range of 2-3 meters, preferably approximately 2.5 meters. This means that the total active support surface is obtained in the unfolded state of approximately 4-6 m2, preferably approximately 5 m2. A large number of goods can be moved with this. Recesses are provided in the various bearing surfaces for the stakes. In the collapsed state, the working width is approximately 1 meter, due to the lateral arrangement of the additional bearing surfaces that can be brought into the folded-up state at an angle of approximately 50 ° with the base bearing surface. The total height of the platform truck in the collapsed state is approximately 700 - 750 mm. It will be clear that other dimensions of the platform truck are also possible according to the invention.
    In a further advantageous preferred embodiment according to the present invention, the brake system is provided with at least two opposite ends of the frame arranged brake control elements.
    By providing brake operating elements, the brake system can be operated in a simple manner by a user. Providing at least two brake operating elements here, each at one end of the frame, i.e. one at the front of the base bearing surface and one at the rear of the base bearing surface, as seen in the normal direction of travel of the platform truck, is achieved that the user can effectively brake the platform truck, and if desired in a possible embodiment according to the invention, can even fix it in a parking position. A platform carriage can hereby also be used effectively in two driving directions without the entire platform carriage having to be rotated through 180 ° or turned. This increases the usability of the platform truck according to the invention.
    Preferably, the at least two brake operating means are operatively connected to each other. This ensures that operation on one side of the platform trolley has the same effect as operation on the other side of the platform trolley. An activated brake can also be released from the other side. This further increases the flexibility and ease of use of the platform truck according to the invention.
    In a further advantageous preferred embodiment according to the present invention, a storage is provided on the underside of the base bearing surface for storing unused stakes therein.
    By providing a separate storage facility, for example a suspension system, on the base support surface or directly on the platform, it is achieved that the stakes can be transported in combination with the platform truck. This ensures that sufficient stakes are available at all times at the desired location for efficiently supporting the goods to be transported. This avoids unsafe transport.
    The invention also relates to a method for transporting goods, the method comprising the steps of: providing a platform truck as described above; placing stakes at the desired positions in the bearing surface; placing the goods on the support; and moving the goods.
    The method offers the same effects and advantages as described for the platform truck. The method is particularly advantageous for moving different types of goods in a flexible manner, because the stakes can be placed at desired positions in the bearing surface. As a result, a wider deployability of the platform truck according to the invention is achieved. This also greatly increases the safety for transporting goods, since the supports / stakes with regard to location can be adjusted to the goods to be moved.
    Furthermore, the provision of a braking system, preferably with a double operating system at the front and rear of the platform truck, enables effective braking of the platform truck, wherein the platform truck can be used effectively and flexibly in several driving directions.
    By providing additional bearing surfaces, a large effective total bearing surface is achieved, while the platform truck can suffice with less space for empty transport and storage. For this purpose, the additional bearing surfaces are preferably hingedly provided on the longitudinal side of the basic bearing surface. The additional bearing surface is herein provided on a single side with a single bearing surface or with sub-parts.
    Further advantages, features and details of the invention are elucidated on the basis of preferred embodiments thereof, wherein reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
