An operation assisting apparatus for a load handling vehicle conveying a load carried on a load handling apparatus includes a sensor, an object extraction unit configured to extract, as objects, a group of points representing parts of the objects from a result detected by the sensor in a coordinate system in a real space, a load handling space derivation unit configured to derive a load handling space occupied by the load during load handling work performed by the load handling apparatus in the coordinate system in the real space, a clearance derivation unit configured to derive a value of a clearance between the load handling space and an adjacent object adjacent to the load handling space, and an informing unit configured to inform an operator of the load handling vehicle of information about the value of the clearance.

Load-handling vehicle (18) comprising a chassis (2), a pivoting lifting arm (3), a device (13) for measuring the inclination angle (Y) of the arm (3), an accessory (5) which can be positioned at the end of the arm (3), and at least one actuator (61, 62) which is coupled to the chassis (2) and to the arm (3), respectively. The vehicle (I) comprises: - a device (12) for measuring the load (R) exerted by the arm (3) on the pivot pin (4) of the arm (3), - a device (71, 72) for establishing the inclination angle (a; P) of each actuator (61, 62), a device (81, 82) for measuring the load (L; C) exerted by the actuators (61, 62) on the arm (3), - a weighing system (9) which can be activated/deactivated in accordance with the inclination angle (Y) of the arm (3) and comprises a data-processing unit (10) configured, in accordance with the data (R;L;C;Y,α;β,) supplied and the non-loaded weight of the assembly comprising the arm (3) and accessory (5), to establish the weight of the load (18) when the vehicle is loaded.

A telehandler comprising: a chassis; an axle supporting the chassis; a pivotal connection between the axle and the chassis; and a chassis positioning system. The pivotal connection is configured to enable rotation of the chassis relative to the axle for varying a chassis-axle tilt angle defined between a longitudinal axis of the axle and the chassis. The chassis positioning system comprises: a chassis angle sensor configured to measure an angular position of the chassis relative to gravity; an actuator configured to rotate the chassis relative to the axle at the pivotal connection; and a control system configured, in a first mode, to control the actuator to thereby control the chassis-axle tilt angle based on the measured angular position of the chassis.

An operating method for an industrial truck. The industrial truck includes a hydraulic pump which provides a hydraulic output, an output setpoint value generator which controls the hydraulic output to influence a traveling speed, two drive wheels which respectively comprise a hydraulic drive unit driven via the hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic device. The hydraulic device is switchable between a first switching state, where the hydraulic drive units are supplied with hydraulic outputs which are different, and a second switching state, where the hydraulic drive units are supplied with hydraulic outputs that have a particular ratio with respect to each other. The operating method includes detecting at least one operating parameter of the output setpoint value generator, comparing the at least one operating parameter with a predefined threshold value, and moving the hydraulic device from the first switching state to the second switching state based on the comparison.

A vehicle lift assembly includes a control unit and a first lift device. The first lift device includes a lifting carriage, a lift actuation assembly that can actuate the lifting carriage between a lowered position and a raised position, and an indicator assembly. The indicator assembly can generate a visual indicator on a surface proximal to the first lift device under control of the control unit, such as one selected as a function of a state of the first lift device.

The present disclosure provides a lift truck weighing system that includes a plurality of sensors configured to measure forces acting on a lift truck. In particular, the sensors are secured at one or more interfaces between a plurality of axles and a chassis of the lift truck. In some examples, the sensors are secured to and/or incorporated with a plurality of axles configured to support the lift truck wheels, such as to or within the axles.

A telescoping weigh fork unit where a base fork has an integrated hydraulic cylinder and a slideable outer shoe on which are supported at least two load cells. Optionally the unit may include an outside telescopic fork shoe to which the load cells are mounted and which supports the outer shoe. Unit may further include a system to alert if distance or weight thresholds are exceeded or if a load cell is inoperable.

A forklift includes a cabin and a seat for use by a driver arranged in the cabin. The cabin has a lateral opening to enter and exit the cabin, and the seat is mounted rotatably relative to the cabin. There is a safety bracket for preventing the driver from involuntarily exiting the cabin through the lateral opening, and for providing lateral impact protection. The safety bracket is mechanically connected to the seat to be rotatable together with the seat.

When an industrial vehicle encounters a geo-feature, one or more messages for conveyance on the industrial vehicle are determined based on a current operating state of the industrial vehicle and an expected operating condition associated with the encountered geo-feature. In an example implementation, the geo-feature can implement aisle control in a warehouse or similar environment to ensure that only authorized vehicles are permitted to enter the aisle. Here, authorization may be predicated upon an assigned task from a warehouse management system. In another example implementation, the industrial vehicle includes a display that provides a graphical representation of the geo-feature.
