An invention relates to picking, storing, and transporting of products. One objective is to reduce or eliminate manual work, or unnecessary process stages. The invention concerns a trailer (100) for a delivery of the products, wherein the trailer comprises an attachment point (101) for attaching the trailer to a road vehicle, a body with wheels, and a wall (104) attached to the body. The wall includes openings (105, 106) to a trunk that is limited by at least the body and the wall. The trailer comprises closures (109, 110) to cover and disclose the openings, and the trailer is configured to open a first closure (109) in response to a correct identifier. The trailer is further configured to receive a cart to a storing place so that, at the storing place (111), the cart holds a first repository (107) beside the first opening and a second repository (108) beside the second opening.

A detachable body securing mechanism having first and second clamp arms that rotate toward the inside of longitudinal support members of a detachable body to clamp down on the longitudinal support members is disclosed. The first and second clamp arms are rotatably coupled to respective first and second ends of an elongated frame of the securing mechanism. The securing mechanism further includes an actuable piston with a piston body coupled to the first clamp arm and a piston coupled to the second clamp arm. In certain implementations, extension of the piston rotates the first and second clamp arms away from each other and the elongated frame into a clamping configuration for securing the detachable body. Retraction of the piston rotates the first and second clamp arms toward each other and the elongated frame into a retracted configuration for releasing the detachable body.

The present invention relates to an automated guided vehicle (1) having a frame (10) designed to receive a material handling accessory (3). The automated guided vehicle (1) is characterized by at least one displacement element (14) which is designed to be moved in and out in at least one horizontal direction (Y) relative to the frame (10) at least to one side beyond the external dimensions of said frame, wherein the displacement element (14) is further designed to carry the material handling accessory (3) along with it.

A flexible tank is used to transport bulk liquids or semi-liquid materials inside of a multi-modal shipping container. It has water proof inner layers and an outer layer, which are formed and welded together to have seams at both ends of the flexible tank. A discharge valve is provided at one end of the flexible tank and an additional piece of material, referred to as a cape, is attached at the other end of the flexible tank. The flexible tank is situated in the container so that the end with the discharge valve is at the container opening and the end with the attached cape is at the rear of the container. The cape can be used by equipment positionable at the opening of the container to completely discharge the bulk liquids or semi-liquid materials from the flexible tank by pulling and winding up the cape and the layers of the flexible tank from the rear of the container.

The present invention relates to a method for determining the mass and the centre of mass of a demountable platform by using a mathematical model, the parameters of which are estimated using an iterative procedure.

Various examples of arrangements and methods are provided for loading and unloading first and second load units carried by a vehicle. A landing device is arranged between a first end of the first load unit and a second end of the second load unit so that a first portion of the landing device is supported to the first end of the first load unit and a second portion of the landing device is supported to the second end of the second load unit. The landing device can move the first end of the first load unit into a lower level than the second end of the second load unit after the first end of the first load unit is moved so that it passes the second end of the second load unit.

The present invention relates to a method for determining the weight of a demountable platform. In the method, a hooklift is used to lift the demountable platform from the ground onto a vehicle, values of a force acting on a main cylinder of the hooklift are determined at predetermined intervals of a physical quantity that varies as a function of the movement of the hooklift, and the weight of the demountable platform is calculated using the determined values of the force. The present invention also relates to a system for determining the weight of a demountable platform.

A smart pod is used for safe and convenient loading and unloading of cargo as well as fast and efficient transport thereof, and a mobility system transports the smart pod. The smart pod includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a pair of first sidewalls connecting the upper surface and the lower surface to each other. The first sidewalls have a hexagonal shape, and a fastening protrusion is installed on the upper surface and configured to retract from the upper surface.

A cargo hauler for hauling cargo that includes a rack assembly with a stationary frame and a tilting frame pivotally connected to the stationary frame, a rail assembly detachably connected to and extending rearwardly from the tilting frame, a carriage assembly including a carriage frame configured for supporting the cargo, and an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism is configured for tilting the tilting frame relative to the stationary frame, and for towing the carriage assembly from the ground over the rail assembly and onto to the tilting frame, and for lowering the carriage assembly from the tilting frame over the rail assembly and onto the ground.

A clamping device secures an equipment rack during shipping. The clamping device includes a gripping portion having first and second surfaces positionable along opposing sides of a respective one of a front and rear lateral logistic bar. The clamping device also includes a clamp mechanism attached to the gripping portion for movement between a disengaged position and an engaged position to selectively engage the first and second surfaces to the opposing sides of the respective one of the front and rear lateral logistic bars positioned adjacent to an equipment rack within a carrier shipping enclosure. A mounting feature is attached to the gripping portion to hold one end of a longitudinal logistic bar positioned along a lateral side of the equipment rack.
