Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0872446A2] The system includes a hydraulic lift drive formed as simple hydraulic cylinder (11), for a hydraulic ramp movable along a mast, and a hydraulic tilt drive for the mast. A lift control valve (14) has a first position corresponding to a lifting function, a second intermediate position maintained by a spring, corresponding to the standstill of the drive cylinder butt (13), and a third position corresponding to a lowering function. The released cross-section of a flow path is controllable in the first and third position. The control valve is formed as a 5/3-way valve (14), whose main butt is moved by a digital controllable electric servo-motor (96). A pressure sensor (107) produces electric output signals corresponding to the pressure in the drive chamber (12) of the lift drive cylinder.
