Industrial truck including a travelling driver stand platform
An industrial truck with a drive part having a driver stand assembly. The driver stand assembly includes an L-shaped stand platform with a horizontally arranged floor element and a vertical wall element. The vertical wall element has a switching lever positioned on it which interacts with the spring element in a first switching position and is freely movable relative to the spring element in a second switching position, wherein in the first switching position, a spring force of the spring element acts by means of the switching lever on the stand platform.
Compact drive unit including juxtaposed tracks
The drive unit includes a watertight elongated housing extending along a longitudinal axis and defining an inner chamber, two juxtaposed tracks disposed around the housing along its longitudinal axis and enabling the drive unit to move when the tracks are rotatably driven around the housing, and at least one track-driving motor. The motor is located within the inner chamber of the housing and includes an output shaft mechanically connected to the corresponding track. The unit can also include a ventilation circuit for the interior of the inner chamber of the housing, and a generator for producing electricity. The drive unit can be manufactured from a single housing or with the housings of two apparatuses that are juxtaposed and rigidly paired.
Standing electric vehicle for golf course travel
The present disclosure features standing electric vehicles for golf course travel that include a skateboard-like deck. The vehicles disclosed herein, referred to as golf boards, include features that enhance the safety and ease of use of the vehicle, including power-off electromagnetic braking systems.
Remote-Control Wagon Device
The present invention relates to a remote-control wagon device designed for beach travel. The device is comprised of a foldable wagon that is self-propelled via a motor. The power of the motor and the direction of the device can be controlled wirelessly via a remote. The device is optimized for beach travel and has a plurality of areas and attachments to store items.
COMPACT UTILITY VEHICLE
A compact utility vehicle including a chassis supporting a prime mover, ground engaging wheels or tracks, an implement, and a rear standing platform operably coupled to the chassis. The vehicle can be equipped with a control console that is operably coupled to the chassis at an elevation above the rear standing platform. The console can have two manual input devices, including a first manual input device configured to control the ground engaging wheels or tracks located along the lateral direction of the vehicle between a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle and 50% of a distance to a first side of the control console, and a second manual input device defining a rigid grip and a thumb switch control portion to control the operation of the implement, located along the lateral direction of the vehicle between the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle and 50% of a distance to a second side of the control console.
Convertible recreational sit-down to stand-up vehicle
According to certain embodiments, a convertible recreational vehicle comprises one or more front ground engaging members; one or more rear ground engaging members; a frame supported by the one or more front ground engaging members and the one or more rear ground engaging members. In addition, the convertible recreational vehicle comprises a steering assembly configured to steer the one or more front ground engaging members. In addition, the convertible recreational vehicle includes a seat assembly supported by the frame and configured to support at least one rider and a motor configured to drive at least one of: (i) the one or more front ground engaging members and (ii) the one or more rear ground engaging members. Further, the convertible recreational vehicle includes a floor panel including a surface that extends across a width of the floor panel.
Working machine
A working machine has a frame, a ground engaging propulsion system, a drive arrangement for providing motive power to the ground engaging propulsion system, an operator platform pivotally connected to the frame and moveable between a deployed position for supporting an operator thereon and a stowed position; and a sensor arrangement configured to sense when an external force is applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed position. The machine prevents movement of the ground engaging propulsion system when the sensor arrangement does not sense an external force applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed position.
Outdoor power equipment with single handed controls
Outdoor power equipment includes a frame including a handle, a prime mover mounted to the frame, a transmission coupling the prime mover to a wheel, and a user interface coupled to the transmission and including a static link rigidly coupled to the handle, a forward link coupled to a forward lever and to the static link, a reverse link coupled to a reverse lever and to the static link, and a joining link coupled between the forward link and the reverse link. The user interface is actuatable between a forward configuration and a reverse configuration.
Pushcart
A pushcart includes a left wheel, a right wheel, a left wheel driver, a right wheel driver, a control unit, a left wheel rotary encoder, and a right wheel rotary encoder. The left wheel driver rotates the left wheel. The right wheel driver rotates the right wheel. The left wheel rotary encoder detects a rotational angle of the left wheel. The right wheel rotary encoder detects a rotational angle of the right wheel. The pushcart performs feedback control on angular velocities of the left wheel and the right wheel at least using an integral operation. The control unit calculates a weighted average of an integral element with respect to the angular velocity of the left wheel and an integral element with respect to the angular velocity of the right wheel, and then separately controls the left wheel driver and the right wheel driver based on the weighted average.
Articulating cart system
An articulating cart system which utilizes an articulating frame to effectively maneuver within tight spaces and a low-elevation platform to ease mounting and dismounting the cart. The articulating cart system generally includes a front frame and a rear frame. A platform is connected to the front frame so that the platform pivots or articulates along with the front frame with respect to the rear frame. A joystick controller may be provided which allows one-handed operation. One or more actuators may be connected between the rear frame and the front frame for pivoting the front frame with respect to the rear frame. A motor is provided to power the actuators and frame wheels. The platform is close to the ground to ease access for the operator. Utilizing the articulating frame, the present invention may traverse much tighter spaces and turns than is possible with previous cart systems.
