A truck bed divider assembly with a horizontal dividing member operably configured to extend and retract longitudinally to directly couple with sidewalls within a truck bed and with a vertical dividing member disposed in a substantially perpendicular orientation with respect to the horizontal dividing member and operably configured to selectively, removably, and lockably couple to the horizontal dividing member with one or more fasteners and to linearly translate on the horizontal dividing member while coupled thereto, thereby enabling organization within the bed of a truck or other vehicle.

A system and method are provided for automated engaging of a truck trailer at a loading dock. Sensors measure a distance and an angle of alignment between the incoming trailer and a wall of the loading dock. An outside lighting system guides a truck driver backing the trailer toward the dock door. A vehicle restraint system fixates the trailer within the loading dock in response to signals from the sensors. An overhead dock door opens once the trailer is successfully fixated by the vehicle restraint system. A dock leveler deploys after the overhead dock door opens. An inside dock light indicates to dock personnel that the trailer is ready to be serviced. Once servicing of the trailer is finished, an automated release of the trailer from the loading dock may be initiated by PLC communication.

A dumping-body for use a haulage vehicle. The dumping body is pivotally mounted to a carrier on the vehicle. An ejecting unit moves an ejector in the dump body to unload a payload. A pivoting unit on the vehicle pivots the dump body relative to the carrier between a stowage end position and an unloading end position. The pivoting unit pivots the dump body relative to the carrier by a maximum pivot angle of not more than 40° to positioning the dump body from a stowage end position into an unloading end position.

A transportation vessel includes a first sidewall and an opposing second sidewall. A load bar has a first end and a second end. The load bar is movable between a horizontal orientation and a vertical orientation. In the horizontal orientation, the first end is attached to the first sidewall and the second end is attached to the second sidewall, and the load bar may support cargo while the cargo is being transported in the transportation vessel. In the vertical orientation, the first end is attached to the first sidewall and the second end is unattached to the second sidewall.

A control arrangement for an arrangement of hydraulically couplable machines has an interface for hydraulic coupling of the machines, and a hydraulic machine for supplying pressure medium to at least one hydraulic consumer of the machines in accordance with requirements. An electronic control device is configured, in accordance with a load of the consumer, to generate an electronic control signal, which can be converted by a transducer of the control arrangement into a hydraulic control signal, in accordance with which the hydraulic machine can be operated.

An automated guided vehicle, a system for sorting cargo, and a method of sorting cargo using the same are provided. The system for sorting cargo according to an embodiment includes an automated guided vehicle, a cargo supply unit, a plurality of cargo sorting units, a supply control unit configured to load the plurality of pieces of cargo supplied from the cargo supply unit into the plurality of cargo loading units of the automated guided vehicle, a transport control unit configured to transport the pieces of cargo to each cargo sorting unit while controlling a movement path of the automated guided vehicle into which the plurality of pieces of cargo are loaded; and a discharge control unit configured to discharge at least one piece of cargo transported through the automated guided vehicle to each cargo sorting unit to sort the at least one piece of cargo.

A delivery vehicle having a cargo area and a package positioning system that includes a moveable panel. The moveable panel may move a package in the cargo area. In at least one configuration, the panel may be mounted to first and second cassettes that are moveably disposed in first and second rails.

In an aspect, the present disclosure describes a method comprising using at least one robot to fully autonomously position and assemble at least one solar module and its supporting structure at a sensed geolocation without aid from a user.
