The invention discloses a forklift head device and a three-way forklift. The forklift head device comprises a
carriage assembly which is connected with a forklift body; a bridge frame
assembly, wherein the bridge frame
assembly is of a box body structure, one end of the bridge frame assembly is connected with the
carriage assembly in a sliding mode, the other end of the bridge frame assembly is rotationally connected with an auxiliary lifting frame assembly comprising guide rail channel steel, and the bridge frame assembly provides axial and radial support for the auxiliary lifting frame assembly; and a
pallet fork assembly, wherein the
pallet fork assembly is arranged on the auxiliary lifting frame assembly in a liftable mode through idler wheels, and the
pallet fork assembly and the auxiliary lifting frame assembly are kept to rotate synchronously. According to the forklift head device and the three-way forklift, the auxiliary lifting frame assembly with a rotating function is arranged, so that the
pallet fork assembly can ascend and descend along the auxiliary lifting frame assembly and keeps rotating synchronously with the auxiliary lifting frame assembly, and the three-way forklift can adapt to more complex working conditions; and meanwhile, the
lateral movement and rotation actions are driven by a gear motor with an
electromagnetic brake and an electric cylinder, the actions are stable and
impact-free, the control precision is high, the
energy consumption is lower, and
energy conservation and
environmental protection are achieved.
