FOREWORD

• A telescopic handler, or telehandler, is similar

to a forklift with the versatility of a single

telescopic boom that can extend forwards

and upward.

• The development of telehandlers in both

capacity and reach makes them so useful, but

provides scope for unsafe use.

• It is fundamental the understanding of the

kinematic stability behaviour of this

machine.

DESIGN ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Objective

• Implementation of a multibody parametric tool by Altair MotionView/MotionSolve in order

to simulate the kinematic behaviour of the TLH LM 1445, with reference to the STD UNI EN 1459.

Outputs

• Load charts output and correlation with testing data.

Validation tests

• Correlation references on current product:

1. - Weight on wheels and centre of gravity position evaluation

2. - Tipping load and stability test

• Load comparison between current production load charts and physical test results.

Conclusions

• The quasi static multibody tool reproduces the behaviour of the machine including flexural and torsional

effects on each arm section, hydraulic limits and tires deformation.

• This tool is predictive to avoid overturning and tipping accidents.

INSTABILITY CONFIGURATIONS OVERVIEW

1) Boom in horizontal position parallel to platform: Tipping instability

2) Boom in intermediate position (40°- 50°): Border line between tipping and overturning instability 3) Boom at max angle : Overturning instability

DESIGN ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

MULTIBODY MODEL OVERVIEW MAIN CONTROL PARAMETERS

Main control parameters:

• Boom angle

• Payload

• Steering angle

• Platform roll angle

• Rear axle Pivot joint (for frame levelling recovery)

• Stabilizers position (Up/Down)

Base Configuration: Steering angle=0° Platform roll angle=0°

T3(*) Configuration: Steering angle =18°Platform roll angle=7° (12% physical slope),

rear wheels parallel to rolling edge

Stabilizers allow a pitch upward rotation of 3°(Rear tires on ground, stabilizer feet on ground, front axle raised up)

(*): Worst case for lateral instability evaluation according to EN 1459

DESIGN ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

Bush elements to simulate vertical stiffness and adherence

MULTIBODY MODEL OVERVIEW

TIRES

Reference values from supplier database

• Lateral deflection data

• Radial deflection data

• Torque deflection data

• Inflating pressure

Multi body simplification

• Vertical stiffness + lateral and longitudinal adherence to the platform

Vertical stiffness law

Instability sensors

• Instability occurs when one of the tires or the stabilizers lose

adherence from the platform in tipping or overturning conditions.

OK: Stability verified

NOT OK: Lateral instability

Lateral stability condition is verified in the numerical model according to experimental data (same machine setup at max

angle with different boom extension).

DESIGN ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

CONCLUSIONS

3/29/2013

1. Multibody parametric tool produces good results if compared with testing data measures.

2. The tool is predictive for TIPPING & OVERTURNING instability conditions.

3. Multibody methodology might have application in new AG & CE machine development from concept

design to design release.

4. Final goal will be the reduction of physical tests in order to achieve a one shot validation on prototype.

Further steps:

• Improvement of tires model non linear effect .

• Application of other boundary conditions as wind effect.
