The present invention relates to a forklift capable of mounting a door in a state in which a pipe for forming a cabin frame is not drilled, the forklift having: a door mounting bar, which is mounted on the outer surfaces of rear pipes at both left and right surfaces of the cabin frame of the forklift, has a bent part formed at the upper end thereof, and has a fastening part formed on one side surface thereof by bending so as to be positioned at the rear surface of the rear pipe; a rear window frame which is mounted between both the left and right rear pipes at the rear of the cabin frame and is formed as a square frame having, at both the left and right sides thereof, engagement fastening parts coupled to the fastening part of the door mounting bar; connecting brackets which simultaneously fasten the door mounting bar and the rear window frame while coming in close contact with the rear pipe at the inner side of the cabin frame; and a hinge bracket which is provided at the upper and lower ends of the outer surface of the door mounting bar, is integrally provided with threads so as to ensure the thread thickness of bolt fastening for the assembly of a hinge for opening and closing the door, and has a predetermined thickness.

An object detection device configured to be mounted on a vehicle includes an object extraction unit that is configured to extract a point group that is a set of points representing a part of an object as the object, a neighboring object extraction unit that is configured to extract a neighboring object in an XY-plane of a world coordinate system, wherein the neighboring object is the object which is the closest to the vehicle, a coordinate transformation unit that is configured to transform coordinates of the neighboring object in the world coordinate system into coordinates of the neighboring object in an image captured by a camera, and a person determination unit that is configured to perform a person detection process in which it is determined whether or not the neighboring object is a person on the coordinates of the neighboring object.

A wheel set assembly having a plurality of sinusoidal channeled wheels. The sinusoidal channeled wheels having a sinusoidal channel disposed around a circular exterior surface of each of the sinusoidal channeled wheels. The wheel set assembly allows for better maneuverability and longevity in comparison to other materials handling equipment wheels because of the sinusoidal channels. The sinusoidal channels also provide heat dissipation along with the ability to push debris out of the way of the materials handling equipment.

A pallet sled includes a base and a pair of tines extending from the base. A load wheel supports outer ends of each of the tines. A wheel supports the base. At least one motor is configured to drive the base wheel or at least one of the load wheels for driving the pallet sled. The motor may be a hub motor inside the base wheel or the load wheel.

Controlling a maximum vehicle speed for an industrial vehicle includes determining, by a processor of the industrial vehicle, a torque applied to the traction wheel of the industrial vehicle; converting the torque to an equivalent force value; and determining an acceleration of the industrial vehicle while the torque is applied to the traction wheel. Additional steps include calculating a load being moved by the industrial vehicle, based at least in part on the acceleration and the equivalent force value; and controlling the maximum speed of the industrial vehicle based on the calculated load being moved by the industrial vehicle.

A transport vehicle includes two non-steered drive wheels, two non-driven steered load wheels, drive motors for driving the drive wheels, a steering target value encoder, a device for detecting the steering angle of one of the load wheels, and an electric control unit. An actuation of the steering target value encoder displaces a steering pole along a steering pole axis. The steering target value encoder steers each of the load wheels from a first position in which the load wheels' axes run parallel to the drive wheels' axes into a second position in which the load wheels' axes are oriented to the steering pole which lies between the drive wheels. The electronic control unit influences a rotational speed of the drive motors as a function of the steering angle and reverses a direction of rotation of at least one of the drive motors as a function of the steering angle.

A method for providing driver assistance for an industrial truck and an industrial truck, particularly a forklift, including capturing steering movement of a steering device of the industrial truck, capturing images of at least part of a surrounding area of the industrial truck using at least one camera, superimposing both a travel path of contours of the industrial truck and a travel path of contours of a load transported on the industrial truck corresponding to the captured steering movement on the captured images, and displaying the captured images having the superimposed travel paths of contours of the industrial truck and the load transported on the industrial truck on a display device disposed in a region of a driver's position of the industrial truck. The contours of the load are obtained from a measurement system of the industrial truck or from virtual models of loads stored in an image processing device.
