The present invention relates to a remote control device for a crane, a construction machine and/or an industrial truck, comprising a mobile end device in the form of a tablet computer that has a screen having a touch-screen function and at least one input means for inputting control commands in the form of a touch-screen display means, as well as a signal transmission device for transmitting the input control commands to the control apparatus of the crane, of the construction machine and/or of the industrial truck. It is proposed to use the screen of the tablet computer not only to input and display control commands, but also to present actual images and/or desired images of the working environment of the machine so that, on an inputting of control commands via the touchscreen function of the screen, the machine operator can simultaneously monitor the working environment there.

Traditionally, counterweight fork type autonomous mobile robots (AMR) have been used for any kind of pallet. But the challenge is it occupies lot more maneuvering space while making turns, which cannot work in narrow operating zones. Hence fork over AMR is preferred. However, these fork over AMR have extended parts always touching the ground surface and thus are not suitable for pallets with a wooden plank at the bottom of the fork opening in the pallet. To overcome the above technical problems, an Adjustable Counterweight-based Fork Type Autonomous Mobile Robot (ACFTAMR) is provided that includes chassis assembly and vertical mast unit, a horizontal cross slide mechanism and forks. The chassis assembly is provided counterweight assembly and counterbalance shafts that move forward and backward during pickup and release of payload when the vertical mast unit moves in upward/downward direction, thus providing better stability and counterbalance to the ACFTAMR.

Systems and methods provide a torsion bar assembly coupled to one or more casters of a material handling vehicle (MHV). The torsion bar assembly is configured to maintain contact between a travel surface of the MHV (e.g., ground) and a drive wheel of the material handling vehicle throughout the service life of the drive wheel.

The present disclosure relates to an electric forklift and a method of driving the same which are capable of increasing a lifespan of a battery, and the electric forklift includes: a traveling motor which operates a wheel; a working machine motor which operates a working machine; a control unit which controls the operations of the traveling motor and the working machine motor based on an output control signal inputted from the outside; a battery which supplies electric power to the traveling motor, the working machine motor, and the control unit; and a temperature detecting unit which detects a temperature of the battery, in which the control unit controls an operation of at least one of the traveling motor and the working machine motor based on a detected temperature from the temperature detecting unit.

Dynamic allocation and coordination of auto-navigating vehicles uses robotic vehicles and centrally dispatched roaming order selectors to create a significantly more efficient, yet flexible, approach to picking goods within a warehouse. Robotic vehicles are configured to be loaded with goods from pick faces to fill orders. Each robotic vehicle follows a route that includes appropriate pick face locations. The robotic vehicles navigate from pick face to pick face where particular goods are located. Order selectors are dynamically and independently dispatched to meet the robotic vehicles at their pick face locations to load goods. Movement of the order selectors is orchestrated to increase efficiency in the order filling process within the warehouse.

A machine localization system includes a work machine including an extendable implement, a first pressure sensor coupled to the work machine, a second pressure sensor located at a known elevation, and a computing system operably coupled to the work machine, the first pressure sensor, and the second pressure sensor. The computing system is configured to receive a first pressure measurement from the first pressure sensor and a second pressure measurement from the second pressure sensor, determine a maximum operating height of the extendable implement based on a difference between the first pressure measurement and the second pressure measurement, and configure the extendable implement to not exceed the maximum operating height.

A cargo handling control unit of a forklift includes a traveling device including a traveling drive unit, forks loading cargos, and a cargo handling device having a lift cylinder. The cargo handling control unit includes at least a pair of one-dimensional laser distance sensors, each of which is configured to emit a one-dimensional laser beam and receives the laser beam reflected from an object, thereby detecting a distance between the object and the one-dimensional laser distance sensor, a picking start position determination unit determining a picking start position of the forks for the cargos, and a picking control unit being configured to control the traveling drive unit and the lift cylinder so as to load the cargos on the forks.

A loading vehicle detects the position of a receiving vehicle relative to the loading vehicle and determines whether the receiving vehicle is to be repositioned. If so, it sends a repositioning message to the receiving vehicle and receives acknowledgement that the loading vehicle has remote control of the positioning mechanisms in the receiving vehicle. A loading vehicle operator input is detected and a position control signal is sent to the receiving vehicle to reposition it relative to the loading vehicle.

A system for providing maintenance and repair units for maintenance work on an aircraft includes a maintenance and repair unit having a frame structure which carries equipment and which is transportable, and a transport vehicle having a lifting device which can raise, set down, and transport the maintenance and repair unit.
