Wiggins Forklift Service Manuals
I've been down in North Carolina doing some repair work on a 48,000 lb. Capacity Wiggins forklift. The lift has been operating over an undulating roadway carrying heavy steel plates, and the torsional flexing of the main frame was more than the machine could take. Last week after picking up a load the operator heard a loud snap as a 1 3/4' thick reinforcing plate on the right side frame rail snapped in two.
Two of us spent the last three days tearing down the lift and pressure washing it. Next a welder will come in, repair the cracks and apply new reinforcing plates. Then I get to go back down there to reassemble the lift. Can you find the inherent flaw in the Wiggins frame design?
The frame consists of a 15' section of channel with 1' gussets welded in to create a sort of I beam. As mentioned - you have a huge stress concentration factor at the end of the flange - bending moment of load balanced against the counterweight in the rear + figure 3x - 5x for bouncing down the road. If it were me, I would figure out how to extend the upper and lower flanges into the gusset plate.
Then I would figure out how to add a section of I-beam of sorts below the existing composite I-beam to increase the bending moment of inertia and cut the stresses in that section. Whatever structure that is forward of that location must have significantly more resistance to moment loads to transfer the stresses that far back from the mast. I would have thought the frame rails would have been much deeper.Weight is not a problem since if you're going to lift 48,000 pounds on the forks you're going to need an equal weight behind the front axle.Looks to me that it has to have an enormous counterweight at the opposite end from the load when they could have used some of it as usable structure. As far as daily inspections this area seems to be underneath a lot of useless bodywork anyway. This is my first post on this sight,just getting back into machining after a few years away,mostly trying to learn not missinform. Or they could just put a dotted line, that says ' Watch here' JAckal That reminds me of a story about a airplane factory that had the wings breaking off right where they joined the body of the plane.
Engineering was working on a solution when one of the engineers Moishe Rosen said this is eazy. See where it breaks all the time we drill holes, all along that line about a inch apart. Another engineer says. No, not nutz said Moishe, every time we try to break matzo crackers they NEVER break on the perforations.
Yes I couldn't believe that they would have designed the frame in that manner. That is a very highly stressed area, just beyond the mast cylinder mounting plate and with a bending moment at that spot. The pointed section of the plate welded to the web of the channel does nothing. Steel in the neutral axis is just dead weight. We will fix it up good.
It will never break in this location again once we're done with it. The cracks began on the side of the frame not visible unless the side tanks are off, and since it requires removing the cab to take the tanks off there is no way any inspection would have found it. This was just a culmination of bad design, moving capacity loads on uneven ground and inability to inspect that caused this. Taylor was rented to substitute for this lift, and I took a good look at its frame. Heavy walled rectangular tubing and NO weak points in its construction. But that goes to show the difference between a company that has built heavy lifts for decades vs.
A company that builds limited numbers of specially designed lifts. Taylor already went through the teething problems, Wiggins has not. With the taylor you have a proper machine. The first Taylors I remember were the 'pulpwood dream'. They were based non a late 40s- early 50s Ford truck chassis with the flathead V-8.
They could lift an entire straight truck load of 'shortwood' and load it directly to a rail car. Most of my direct personal experience is with a machine they no longer list, but exactly right for the job you are on, The 'yardster' built from the 50s into the 80s. BIG front tires and a large truck size on the steer axle. They took incredible punishment and kept on year after year.
Maybe they lasted too long. After all if it never wears out, where are your repeat sales. Their 'Sudden Service' was amazing. You call, in about 24 hrs or less a guy shows up with EVERYTHING he needs and knows everything about the machine. Don't know where they found guys like this but I bet they harder to find today. He didn't just patch, he gave you a list of every thing that might need attention. We were brutal on these machines and they got less than 1 call per year, even while in warranty.
Parts were common, off the shelf items that could be had probably in downtown Moscow and not expensive. A machine designed to run and be kept running. I have and have never had any connection to Taylor other than as a customer. Just the voice of experience.
