Leveling system for lift device
A lift device includes a chassis, a rear leveling assembly coupled to a rear end of the chassis, and a front leveling assembly coupled to a front end of the chassis. The rear leveling assembly includes a first rear actuator and a second rear actuator. The first rear actuator and the second rear actuator are selectively engageable to facilitate providing active control of a rear pitch adjustment and a rear roll adjustment of the rear leveling assembly. The front leveling assembly includes a first front actuator and a second front actuator. The first front actuator and the second front actuator are (i) selectively fluidly couplable to facilitate providing passive control of a front pitch adjustment and a front roll adjustment of the front leveling assembly and (ii) selectively fluidly decouplable to facilitate providing active control of the front pitch adjustment and the front roll adjustment of the front leveling assembly.

TRANSPORT TOOL USED FOR TRANSPORTING OBJECT
A transport tool capable of carrying out attaching an object to an attachment position while positioning the object in a predetermined positional relationship with the attachment position. The transport tool includes a base, a holding section movably supported by the base in a predetermined direction and configured to hold an object, and a positioning section that is provided to the base and configured to arrange the object held by the holding section in a preparation position having a predetermined positional relationship with the attachment position, the positioning section allowing the execution of an attachment operation of attaching the object, which has been arranged in the preparation position, to the attachment position by movement of the holding section relative to the base.
Operator control system for a materials handling vehicle
An operator control system is provided for a materials handling vehicle, the materials handling vehicle including an operator station having a support structure. The operator control system includes an operator control assembly having a housing mounted to or integral with the support structure, and at least one control element for controlling a function of the vehicle. One or both of the housing and/or the control element is positionable in a plurality of positions.
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT FOR AN INDUSTRIAL TRUCK AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM
A remote control unit for an industrial truck comprises a transmitting and receiving unit configured to establish a radio connection with one of the industrial truck and a control unit. A handle element is configured to be gripped by an operator's hand and grasped with an inner side of the operator's gripping hand and associated fingers, wherein the associated fingers do not include a thumb. A function element is positioned at an angle relative to the handle element and comprises a first control element configured to be operated using the thumb of the operator's gripping hand. The function element further comprises a scanning unit configured to detect data and transmit data by the transmitting and receiving unit.
Methods and systems for detecting, recognizing, and localizing pallets
Example implementations may relate methods and systems for detecting, recognizing, and localizing pallets. For instance, a computing system may receive sensor data representing aspects of an environment, and identify a set of edge points in the sensor data. The computing system may further determine a set of line segments from the set of edge points where each line segment may fit to a subset of the set of edge points. Additionally, the computing system may also filter the set of line segments to exclude line segments that have a length outside a height range and a width range associated with dimensions of a pallet template, and identify, from the filtered set of line segments, a subset of line segments that align with the pallet template. Based on the identified subset of line segments, the computing system may determine a pose of a pallet in the environment.
