Device for moving a load and a lifting member therefor
A device for moving a load comprises a mobile, in particular rolling chassis (10) from which a lifting device (20) extends with at least one lifting member (30). The lifting device is intended and configured to receive the load (5) thereon. The lifting member comprises a substantially L-shaped base (31) with a lying leg (311) and an upright leg (312) mutually connected by a bend (313). The lifting member further comprises a shoe (33) which extends over the base (31) with interposing of at least one weight sensor (32) of electronic weighing means. The shoe (33) is likewise substantially L-shaped with a lying leg (331) and an upright leg (332), wherein the upright leg (332) of the shoe (33) maintains an intermediate space in relation to the upright leg (312) of the base (31). A base unit (40) of the weighing means is received at least substantially wholly in the intermediate space between the two legs (31,33).
Fall-protection system with monitoring system
A fall-protection system including a harness and a fall-protection apparatus with a lifeline bearing a connector configured to be connected to the harness; and, a fall-protection monitoring system with a base unit and with at least one sensor module configured to sense a condition of the connector and to communicate a signal indicative of the condition of the connector to the base unit.
Industrial truck and method for operating the same
An industrial truck (2) and a method for operating the same. The industrial truck includes a load fork (4), a fork back (6) and a plurality of fork arms (8a, 8b), each of which include an arm tip at a free end and an arm root arranged on the fork back. The industrial truck includes a load carrier detection system for a load carrier (20, 30, 40) to be transported, which includes at least one spacing distance measurement sensor (14) provided on the load fork that is configured to detect a spacing distance between the load carrier and the fork back, and one or more monitoring sensors (10, 12) provided on the load fork configured to monitor a predetermined measurement region on the load fork. A processing unit for the sensors is configured to determine a reception of the load carrier picked up by the load fork.
BASE FRAME FOR A REACH TRUCK
A base frame for a reach truck includes a wheel arm subassembly with 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.
FORKLIFT SCALE ATTACHMENT
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.
Multi-field scanning tools in materials handling vehicles
A materials handling vehicle comprises an operator compartment, a compartment tower, a multi-field scanning tool, and mechanisms that facilitate movement along a travel plane in a warehouse. The tool establishes a scan field, and, within scan field bounds, an occupancy detection field and an obstacle detection field. Tool scanning hardware is configured to generate the scan field from a point of origin that is elevated relative to the operator compartment and to expand the scan field such that it intersects the operator compartment and extends laterally beyond lateral edges of the operator compartment such that the occupancy detection field falls within the operator compartment, the obstacle detection field falls outside of the operator compartment, and the multi-field scanning tool is configured to indicate the presence of an occupant in the occupancy detection field and obstacles in the obstacle detection field.
TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR ORDER-PICKING
A transport system for picking products and/or goods. The transport system includes an order-picking device with a rigid base frame and a transport and/or work platform, and two individual vehicles each of which are couplable to the order-picking device and each of which have a drive device, a steering device, and a lifting device which can raise and lower a load-carrying device. The two individual vehicles, when in a decoupled state from the order-picking device, are each operatable completely independently of one another, and, when in a coupled state to the order-picking device, are coupled with the order-picking device so as to provide a driving and steering behavior of a rigid overall vehicle made up of the two individual vehicles and the order-picking device, and a lifting behavior of a complete lifting device made up of the lifting device of each of the two individual vehicles.
FORK ARM SENSORS FOR DETECTING CROSS-TRAFFIC
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).
Intelligent forklift and method for detecting pose deviation of container
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.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING THE MOVEMENT SPACE AND AUTONOMOUSLY OPTIMIZING THE DRIVING BEHAVIOR OF AN OPERATING AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE COMPRISING LOADING IN DYNAMIC PRODUCTION AND LOGISTICS ENVIRONMENTS
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.
