A stacker crane includes a first covering body covering a sliding section of a mast and an ascending and descending unit, and providing a first space extending vertically along the mast, a second covering body providing a second space extending vertically along the mast and partitioned from the first space by a first barrier, a plurality of exhaust holes that are vertically dispersed in the first barrier and cause the first space and the second space to be in communication, and an exhaust device that is attached to the mast and expels air in the second space at a portion in a vertical direction.

An automated warehouse includes: a plurality of shelves each configured to accommodate an article; a loading-and-unloading port where the article is loaded and unloaded; a stacker crane configured to convey the article between the shelves and the loading-and-unloading port; and a traveling path on which the stacker crane travels. The stacker crane includes a traveling unit including a traveling drive wheel configured to roll along the traveling path, a mast vertically provided on the traveling unit so as to overlap the traveling drive wheel when viewed from a vertical direction, and a lifting platform arranged on one side in a travel direction with respect to the mast and configured to ascend and descend along the mast.

The invention relates to a method for the fully automatic and/or semiautomatic setup or calibration of a pick and/or place position having at least one storage and retrieval vehicle and/or at least one trolley, a control/regulation device, at least one detection system, in particular an optical detection system, and at least one position feature, the method comprising the following steps: manual and/or automatic storage of the positions of the position features; automatic traveling to the stored positions by means of the storage and retrieval vehicle and/or of the trolley: detecting an actual value of the position of the position feature by means of the detection system, in particular an optical detection system; and calculating a difference between the stored position and the actual value, optionally carrying out a correction, and optionally storing a correction value of the position of the position feature.

A control system includes: a sway detection unit configured to detect a reference swaying amount that is a swaying amount of a mast at a detection height, which is set to be greater than or equal to a height of a lowermost part of a transfer apparatus when a lift is located at an upper limit of a lifting range; a lifting height acquiring unit configured to acquire lifting height information that indicates a lifting height, which is a height of the lift, at a plurality of points in time; and a transfer control unit configured to control the transfer apparatus. The transfer control unit converts the reference swaying amount detected by the sway detection unit into a lifting height swaying amount that is a swaying amount of the mast at the lifting height indicated by the lifting height information.

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 industrial truck includes a loading platform onto which and from which a load is pushable in a direction, and masts which are arranged opposed to each other. The masts lift, lower, and guide the loading platform, which is arranged between the masts, in a lifting and lowering direction. Each of the masts has guide profiles, each of which has an inner cross-section with a side surface which extends in the lifting and lowering direction and which is perpendicular to the direction. The loading platform has at least one guide element for each of the guide profiles. The at least one guide element slides and/or rolls on the side surface of the respective guide profile.
