A system and a method for remotely controlling a vehicle for safe loading and unloading of cargo, may include a vehicle, and a remote control device that performs data communication with the vehicle control device of the vehicle, and the vehicle sends a request to the remote control device for remote control when arriving at a destination, moves to a work location and performs work under control of the remote control device, requests the remote control device to deactivate the remote control when the work is completed, and performs exit of the destination through autonomous driving of the vehicle.

An electrical method for centering telehandler rear wheels preferably includes an electronic control module (ECM), a rear steering cylinder, a pair of rear centering valves, a front steering cylinder, a steer mode valve, at least one steering position sensor, a steering control unit and a mode selection switch. The front and rear steering cylinders are connected to the steer mode valve. The steering control unit directs hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic pump to flow into the front and rear steering cylinders to turn the wheels. A 2W steering mode requires that the rear wheels be straight before going from a 4W steering mode into the 2W steering mode. The ECM monitors a position of the rear wheels through the at least one steering position sensor. If the wheels are not straight, the ECM will open a centering valve to straighten the rear wheels, before going into the 2W steering mode.

A handling robot used in a field of warehouse logistics comprises a mobile chassis, and a storage shelf. The storage shelf is mounted to the mobile chassis and comprises a plurality of layered plate components distributed at different heights. The handling robot further comprises a handling device configured to transport a material to a layered plate of the plurality of layered plate components, and a lift component configured to drive the handling device to lift relative to the storage shelf.

A materials handling vehicle operating system is provided comprising a tag layout where a plurality of entry/exit tag sets are arranged along a travel path at different ones of the entry/exit thresholds of a restricted navigation zone. Each entry/exit tag set comprises a release tag, a restriction tag, and an indicator tag. The indicator tag is positioned between the restriction tag and the restricted navigation zone. The restriction tag is positioned between the release tag and the indicator tag. The tag reader and the reader module cooperate to compare identified tag data with stored tag data and initiate a remediation operation when an indicator tag is identified in place of a restriction tag. Tag layouts for one-way and two-way travel into and out of a restricted navigation zone are also contemplated.

The present invention discloses a lifting mechanism for a moving component of a range hood and a range hood with the same, which comprises a mounting frame, a moving component, a motor, a transmission mechanism, two lifting rods, a connecting member and two guide rails. The transmission mechanism moves the connecting member up and down along the guide rails, so that the lifting rods and the moving component are allowed to move up and down. The power for the lifting motion is provided by the transmission mechanism, the guide rails on two sides ensure the stability of the lifting motion, and the lifting rods fixed on two sides of the connecting member further transfers the motion downward to the smoke guide plate, so that the lifting motion of the smoke guide plate is very stable.
