RADIAL STACKING CONVEYOR SYSTEM WITH FEEDER
A device conveying a solid material into a radially-arranged stockpile. The device has a a trailer chassis, with at least one wheeled axle at a first end thereof and, at a second end thereof, means provided for attaching the trailer chassis to a tractor in a mobile condition and for fixed mounting in an operational condition. A stacking conveyor is mounted near the first end of the trailer chassis. A power unit for generating electrical and hydraulic power is positioned on the trailer chassis. A feed system is mounted to the trailer chassis and extends generally along the length thereof from the second end to the first end, to receive the solid material at the second end and transport the solid material to the stacking conveyor.
Vehicle for receiving and delivering agricultural seeds and other granular material
A vehicle for receiving and delivering granular material, such as agricultural seeds, includes a frame supporting a container defining an open top chamber having a bottom outlet. An elongated conveyor is supported by a system which includes a first support arm having one end pivotally connected to a side wall of the container for multiple directional movement and a second support arm pivotably connected to the opposite end of the first support arm. The opposite end of the second support arm supports an intermediate portion of the conveyor near its center of gravity and in suspended relation for tilting and rotating the conveyor. Power actuators are connected to rotate and pivot the first support arm to position the conveyor in many selected positions including the conveyor inlet under the outlet of the chamber, a storage position and a position between horizontal and substantially inclined for filling other containers.

SYSTEM HAVING AUTOMATED LIFT ASSEMBLY AND PROCESS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING CARGO FROM DELIVERY VEHICLE
An autonomous cargo loading or unloading system for a delivery vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a storage compartment having at least a two high by two wide array of compartment portions that store associated cargo received from or delivered through an opening to the storage compartment. A conveyor is located in each compartment portion and the conveyor configured to assist in the delivery or receipt of the associated cargo from or into the compartment portion. A lift assembly is movably mounted to the storage compartment and configured to receive associated cargo from a compartment portion, the lift assembly including a lift assembly conveyor that receives associated cargo from or delivers associated cargo to a compartment portion. The platform can move vertically up and down, and side to side relative to the storage compartment.
Robotic Order Fulfilment Shuttle
An order fulfillment and delivery system for autonomously fulfilling orders while en route to a delivery location. The system includes a delivery vehicle having a storage area, a robotic system at least partially disposed within the storage area and one or more processors. The one or more processors being configured to receive an order of one or more inventory items, generate container retrieval instructions for the robotic system to perform based on the received order and transmit to the robotic system the container retrieval instructions to perform. The robot system includes a container retrieval device movable in at least two dimensions to engage and move a container, based upon the container retrieval instructions, from a first location within the delivery vehicle to a second location within the delivery vehicle.
Portable conveyor system for use with a vehicle
A portable and articulating conveyor belt device for use with a vehicle having a power supply, wherein the vehicle's power supply powers the conveyor belt device. The conveyor belt device is removably attachable to a trailer hitch assembly on a vehicle, and enables a user to quickly and safely load articles onto/off of the vehicle via a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt device is preferably controlled via a remote control and controls the position of the device, as well as the direction and speed of the conveyor belt. The support frame of the conveyor belt device is comprised of a plurality of repositionable, interlocking and pivoting support frame members that enable the device to be arranged in a variety of configurations to suit user need and/or preference.
CONVEYOR SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY USING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
An autonomous vehicle (AV) includes a conveyor system arranged within its main cabin. The conveyor system includes attachment points for attaching transport bags to the conveyor system, and a motor to move the transport bags to different positions along the conveyor system. The AV includes a door that can open and close to provide access to the transport bags. The AV further includes a conveyor system controller that identifies a transport bag associated with a user and issues an instruction to the motor to move the transport bags along the conveyor system.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ONE-CLICK DELIVERY OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
A delivery system includes a database configured to store information of a customer where the information includes a default payment method, a communication system configured to communicate with an autonomous vehicle and with a device of the customer, where the device includes a display screen having a button to summon an autonomous vehicle, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the delivery system to receive an indication via the communication system that the button on the device of the customer has been clicked, and instruct the autonomous vehicle to travel to a location of the customer.
