The self-propelled construction machine according to the invention has a braking device which comprises at least one hydraulically actuated braking device actuating device 8 which has a pressure chamber 10A, 11A that can be acted upon with a hydraulic fluid. The braking device actuating device 8 is formed in such a way that, in a locking position, the running gear 3B, to which the braking device actuating device 8 is assigned, is braked, and, in an operating position, the running gear is unbraked. In addition, the construction machine according to the invention has a hydrostatic steering device 9, which comprises at least one hydraulic steering device actuating device 22. In the event of a malfunction in the supply of hydraulic fluid to the braking device actuating device 10, 11, the hydraulic system has a manually actuated emergency-operation valve arrangement 16 which is formed in such a way that, after the manual actuation thereof, a fluid connection is created between the steering device actuating device 22 and the pressure chamber 10A, 11A of the braking device actuating device 10, 11. The emergency-operation valve arrangement 16 has a valve block 27 in which flow paths are formed which can be shut off by means of shut-off screws 31, 32.

The invention relates to a hydraulic steering device that hydraulically connects a steering cylinder to a supply system, whereby the supply system is hydraulically operatively connectable to the steering cylinder via a steering valve to form a main flow connection and the supply system is hydraulically operatively connectable to the steering cylinder via a flow regulation valve arrangement to form a branch flow connection that circumvents the main flow connection, whereby the flow regulation valve arrangement is triggerable by an electric control unit and the flow regulation valve arrangement comprises valve groups that are triggerable individually, which are respectively connected in the forward flow and return flow of the branch flow connection and a release-shutoff valve is assigned to the flow regulation valve arrangement. It is provided that the release-shutoff valve is connected between the flow regulation valve arrangement and the steering cylinder.

A hydraulic steering unit is described comprising a housing (1) and a non-return valve (2) having a ball (3) and a valve seat (4) at an end of a channel (5) in the housing (1), wherein a movement of the ball (3) away from the valve seat (4) is limited by an abutment (7) in the channel (5). Such a steering unit should have a non-return valve which can be produced with low costs. To this end the abutment (7) extends transversely through the channel.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic steering system for a vehicle, in particular an industrial truck, comprising: a steering cylinder having two chambers and a hydraulic connection at each of the two chambers for activating a steering movement of at least one wheel of the vehicle; at least one hydraulic pump; at least one hydraulic tank for receiving hydraulic oil; and a steering block which comprises: two first hydraulic connections for connecting to the two hydraulic connections of the steering cylinder; at least two second hydraulic connections for supplying hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump to the steering block and feeding the hydraulic oil back into the hydraulic tank; and a controllable valve assembly which receives control signals from a steering angle detection device and is designed to convey hydraulic oil to the steering cylinder on the basis of said control signals; the controllable valve assembly being further designed to be shiftable into at least one neutral position in which it allows a flow of hydraulic oil between the two chambers of the steering cylinder. The hydraulic steering system further comprises a pump device which is designed to stimulate the flow of hydraulic oil between the two chambers of the steering cylinder when the valve assembly is in the neutral position.

A variable ratio hydraulic steering device with two or more orbit displacers ensures steering with low actuating forces even in the event of a total or partial failure of the oil flow supply. In the event of a total or partial failure of the oil flow supply, the device is capable of switching from one orbit displacer to another, if necessary, independently of the pressure at the inlet connection of the steering device.

A sleeve pack for forming a bulk bin includes a base for forming a bottom of the bulk bin and a perimeter wall assembly. The perimeter wall assembly includes two blanks that can be connected to one another at interlocking connections to form a perimeter wall of the bulk bin. Locking tabs are associated with at least one of the wall blanks, and corresponding locking openings are associated with at least one other of the wall blanks. The openings oppose the tabs and the tabs are lockingly inserted into the openings to secure the wall members together to form the perimeter wall of the bulk bin.
