The invention relates to a forklift truck (101) with at least two environment sensors (105a, 105b) attached to different fork arms (103a, 103b). These are orientated with at least part of their detection zones (111a, 111b) directed outward and transversely to the forklift truck (101).

An intelligent forklift and a method for detecting a pose deviation of a container are provided. The intelligent forklift includes a working state monitor, an image sensor, and a processor. The working state monitor is configured to monitor a working state of the intelligent forklift while the intelligent forklift is carrying and moving a stock container and send a trigger to the image sensor based on the working state. The image sensor is configured to capture an RGBD image frame containing the stock container in response to the trigger and to transmit the RGBD image frame to the processor. The processor is configured to receive the RGBD image frame, detect a pose deviation degree of the stock container and provide an alarm and/or a prompt based on a detection result of the pose deviation degree for adjusting the pose of the stock container.

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for automatically determining the movement space of an operating automated guided vehicle and autonomously optimizing the driving behavior thereof comprising loading in dynamic production and logistics environments, comprising the following features: The automated guided vehicle, hereinafter referred to as AGV, carries cargo (11) by means of a lifting supporting plate (10), wherein monitoring spaces (35) are calculated according to the velocity of the vehicle, the position and properties of the cargo (11), and the direction of travel.

The present disclosure provides an electric jack with a current limiting protector, which relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment. The electric jack with the current limiting protector includes: a current limiting protector, a four-pin double-reset switch, a control motor, and a supporting leg main body. The current limiting protector is connected in parallel to the control motor through the four-pin double-reset switch. The current limiting protector, the four-pin double-reset switch, and the control motor are detachably mounted on the supporting leg main body. A first wiring terminal, a second wiring terminal, a third wiring terminal, a fourth wiring terminal, a fifth wiring terminal, and a current limiting protection circuit are distributed on the current limiting protector.

A vehicle-mounted device includes an analysis unit and a control unit. The analysis unit detects an insertion target into which an insertion blade can be inserted, on the basis of sensing information acquired from a spatial recognition device. The control unit performs a loading misalignment determination to determine whether or not the insertion target loaded on a conveyance destination is misaligned from the conveyance destination on the basis of the sensing information.

Described is ballast for a rotary tower, comprising: a main body (10), equipped with coupling means designed to allow a connection to the rotary tower; a detecting device (11, 12, 13), associated with the main body (10), designed for detecting the presence of an obstacle positioned at a distance less than a predetermined safety distance from the main body (10), and for emitting a proximity signal, signifying the presence of an obstacle at a distance less than the safety distance from the main body (10).

A lifting apparatus and lifting system for lifting a shipping container (14) are disclosed. The lifting system uses four lifting apparatus one in each corner of the container (14). Each apparatus has a hydraulic cylinder (16) which is attached to a frame (24). A locking member (40, 90) also attached to the frame (24) engages the base corner block (44) of the shipping container (14) and locks thereto. There is also a container frame engaging member (60) which presses into engagement with the frame of the container (14) above the base corner block (44) but below the upper corner block (44). When the hydraulic cylinder (16) extends the container (14) is lifted and the container frame engaging member (60) presses into engagement with the frame of the container (14) locking the lifting apparatus onto the container (14).

A method controls the reverse speed of a materials-handling vehicle having a forward-facing operator seat, a front end, a back end, a reverse-consent sensor, and a controller. The method detects, via the reverse-consent sensor, whether an operator of the vehicle is in a position to view a path of the vehicle when the vehicle is driven in a reverse direction; limits, via the controller, the reverse speed of the vehicle to a first maximum reverse speed when the operator is not detected to be in such a position when the vehicle is driven in a reverse direction; and limits, via the controller, the reverse speed of the vehicle to a second maximum reverse speed when the operator is detected to be in such a position. The first maximum reverse speed of the vehicle may be lower than the second maximum reverse speed of the vehicle.
