A collision simulation test apparatus including a table to which a test piece is to be attached, the table being movable in a predetermined direction, a toothed belt for transmitting power to drive the table, a drive module capable of driving the toothed belt, and a control part capable of controlling the drive module. The control part is capable of controlling the drive module to generate an impact to be applied to the test piece, and the impact generated by the drive module is transmitted to the table by the toothed belt.

An article transport apparatus includes a travel carriage, a mast, a lift, and a transfer machine. The transfer machine includes a holder and a movement mechanism. The movement mechanism is configured to transfer an article between the holder and a storage rack. The article transport apparatus further includes a receiver supported by the lift and configured to receive liquid that has dripped from the article, a collector configured to collect the liquid received by the receiver, and a liquid detector configured to detect the amount of liquid collected in the collector. The receiver is disposed to cover, from below, the entire bottom surface of the article located at a holding position. The collector is connected to the receiver. The receiver includes a receiving surface that faces upward and that is entirely inclined to extend gradually downward toward the collector.

The present disclosure is a lift attachment apparatus for construction and farm equipment, including a loader. In an embodiment of the disclosure, lift apparatus may include a frame including an attachment device configured to attach to a tilting plane of a loader having a forward facing loader arm, a pair of wheels connected to the frame, a first wheel of the pair of wheels located on a first side of the frame and a second wheel of the pair of wheels located on a second side of the frame. The lift attachment apparatus may further include a boom or forks connected directly or indirectly to the frame, wherein control of the boom or forks is provided by application of force to the attachment device by the forward facing loader arm in a downward direction to create lift and rotation of the tilting plane causing rotation of an end of the boom or forks about the first wheel and the second wheel. The first wheel and second wheel being mechanically aligned to act as a stable fulcrum.

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.

Provided is a tower lift, including: a body; a first carriage module and a second carriage module configured to be movable in a vertical direction along the body and each support objects to be transferred; a driving unit comprising a driving belt which vertically moves the first carriage module and the second carriage module and on which the first carriage module or the second carriage module is mounted; and a gap adjusting unit adjusting a gap between the first carriage module and the second carriage module.

A pallet detection assembly for a material handling vehicle is provided. The pallet detection assembly includes a body defining a cavity and having a proximity sensor housed at least partially within the cavity. The pallet detection assembly further includes an actuation plate having a tab coupled thereto and extending in a direction toward the body, and an actuator having a cylinder coupled to the body and a plunger slidably received within the cylinder and coupled to the actuation plate. The actuator is configured to movably couple the actuation plate to the body so that the actuation plate is configured to non-pivotally displace relative to the body.

A plurality of control elements extend from the base portion of a control module in a materials handling vehicle. The control elements are located adjacent to one another, wherein at least one of the control elements includes mounting structure that permits the control element to be selectively mounted to the base portion in at least first and second positions. The first position defines a first distance between the control element and an immediately adjacent control element and the second position defines a second distance between the control element and the immediately adjacent control element, the second distance being greater than the first.

Proposed are an OHT vehicle and a method of controlling the operation of the same. More particularly, proposed is a technology in which when a steering change is not performed properly as a steering wheel is adhered to a damper during the operation of a steering unit of an OHT vehicle, a dithering motion function is applied to the steering wheel to enable an efficient steering change of the OHT vehicle.
