A forklift truck includes a main controller, a driving motor, a drive controller, and an object detector. The drive controller controls the driving motor. The object detector detects the position of an object being present in the backward direction of the forklift truck. The main controller derives an expected trajectory of the forklift truck. The main controller imposes a speed limit on the forklift truck by setting a vehicle speed upper limit when the object detected by the object detector is located within the expected trajectory and the forklift truck is traveling in the direction of approaching the object. The main controller gives commands to the drive controller to prevent the vehicle speed of the forklift truck from exceeding the vehicle speed upper limit.

The present disclosure describes a lift truck attachment system that includes a lift truck carriage with an upper carriage support and a lower carriage support secured between two support brackets. The lift truck carriage is dimensioned to fit at least partially between opposing masts of a lift truck, such that the upper and lower carriage supports do not extend substantially beyond a forward surface of the mast. A device assembly, is mounted to the lift truck carriage, the device assembly including a base portion removably secured to the upper and/or lower carriage supports via one or more attachments. The device assembly can include a carriage scale removably secured to the base portion, the carriage scale configured to support load handling fixtures, such as a lift fork. In some examples, a single carriage support is used.

A wheel assembly including a sensor for measuring wheel movement is provided comprising: a frame member; an axle fixed to the frame member; a wheel rotatably mounted to the axle and comprising wheel recess; a code ring located within the wheel recess for rotation with the wheel; and a sensor device coupled to the frame member and located adjacent to the code ring. The sensor device senses movement of the code ring and generates an output signal indicative of the wheel movement. A materials handling vehicle comprising the wheel assembly is also provided.

An intelligent platform may employ a unitary platform positioned between articulating legs with each articulating leg connected to a leveling module. The leveling module can be configured to execute a leveling strategy that involves extending at least one articulating leg to establish the unitary platform in a level orientation relative to an underlying, non-level terrain.

Load-handling vehicle (1) comprising:—a heat engine (2),—an accelerator pedal (3),—a pedal position sensor (4), a system (5) for driving the machine (1), which system is engaged with the heat engine (2),—a handling system (6) comprising at least one handling member (61), a pump (62) rotationally driven by the heat engine (2), at least one actuator (631, 632, 633) of the handling member (61),—a system (7) for controlling the actuators (631, 632, 633), and—a control unit. The control unit is configured to determine:—according to data provided by the control system (7), a pump flow rate setpoint (62), and—according to the pump flow

A system for controlling a forklift truck has several operating modes and allows, in particular, operation in manual mode or autonomous mode. A forklift truck is provided with such a control system.

A base frame for a reach truck comprises a wheel arm subassembly comprising two wheel arms each having a front end and an opposing rear end. A load wheel receiver is positioned on each rear end and a counterweight is positioned at the front end of the wheel arms and coupled to the wheel arm subassembly by a plurality of screw connections. The plurality of screw connections comprise a first portion of screw connections and a second portion of screw connections. The first portion of screw connections each extend in a first direction and the second portion of the screw connections each extend in a second direction which is different from the first direction.

Basket (1) comprising: a platform (7), a drive system (2) for moving the platform (7), a control desk (3) equipped with controls (4) of the system (2), a flexible safety link (5), two retaining systems (6) for keeping the link (5) in a position in which the link (5) extends across the platform (7), a detection device for detecting deformation of the link (5), having a detection member configured so that, under the effect of deformation of the link (5), it passes from a state referred to as inactive, in which operation of the controls (4) of the drive system (2) for moving the platform (7) is not disabled to a state referred to as active, in which said operation is disabled, one of the retaining systems (6) comprising a rotary member for winding the link (5) equipped with a return member for returning said rotary member in the direction of winding of the link (5) around said rotary member.

A person-lifting and fall-protection vehicle includes a carrier vehicle having a two-direction vehicle or a multi-direction vehicle, and a person-lifting device having a telescopic boom and a work cage.

A vehicle apparatus has a chassis with a plurality of rear wheels (e.g., flotation axel wheels) and a plurality of front wheels (e.g., drive/steer wheels) coupled thereto. A scissor lift assembly may couple to the chassis and hoist and lower a man basket. The man basket has hinged sides that may be released to a horizontal position, thereby extending the working platform of a user. A rotatable pedestal allows a central tie-off spot for added safety and efficacy.
