Loading and unloading device configured for connection to a truck or a trailer of truck, having a main support frame, a support frame supported in a position adjustable by the main frame and a cradle supported in a position adjustable by the main frame and defining with it a goods storage compartment, and means for handling the secondary frame and the cradle with respect to the main frame along one or more directions of second axes X, Y, Z which are orthogonal to modify the configuration of the compartment.

The present technology provides a cargo adapter that can be inserted into a passenger compartment of a mixed-use vehicle that can be anchored to existing anchor points in the vehicle. The cargo adapter can then receive, secure, and support a cargo locker in a way that safely secures the cargo and avoids wear on the interior surfaces of the passenger compartment. The present technology further provides a system for transporting a cargo locker to a vehicle and inserting the cargo adapter and cargo locker into the vehicle quickly and easily.

A method and an arrangement for optimizing load position in relation to a transportation vehicle, comprising a platform arranged to the transportation vehicle for receiving a load; an actuating device for moving the platform in relation to the transportation vehicle; a sensing device configured to generate a vehicle sensing signal and/or a non-vehicle sensing signal; a controlling device configured to receive at least one of the vehicle sensing signal and the non-vehicle sensing signal; generate controlling commands based on the received at least one of the vehicle sensing signal and the non-vehicle sensing signal; and transmit the controlling commands to the actuating device; wherein the actuating device is configured to receive the controlling commands and to move the platform in relation to the transportation vehicle based on the controlling commands.

Disclosed is an end-to-end delivery system that uses standard containers designed for autonomous vehicle (AV) goods delivery, a purpose-built AV cargo management system, a purpose-built robot to load and unload packages, and software to coordinate the various tasks involved. The standard containers may include a hardware locking interface for locking to a carrying robot. The cargo management system may include a programmable conveyor system installed on each floor of a multi-floor cargo space within the AV. For example, the floor may include a roller surface to allow omnidirectional routing of packages. An elevator shaft may be used for receiving and off-loading containers. The software may identify a target container anywhere within the multi-floor cargo space, and determine how to rearrange the containers within a grid in the AV so that the target container may be moved to the elevator shaft for unloading.

Loading, shifting, and staging objects in automated or semi-automated fashion including systems, methods, and apparatuses for the same. The embodiments hereof enable automated and/or semi-automated loading, shifting, organizing, staging, and accessing of objects in different environments, e.g., those associated with a logistics network operation. For example, one such environment is a vehicle. In one aspect, a loading mechanism is used to load objects into a storage space of the vehicle. In another aspect, a shifting mechanism is used to shift objects in a storage space of the vehicle. In another aspect, a door assembly allows for automated opening and closing of a door into a storage space of a vehicle. In addition, methods of manufacturing and using the same are provided.

A container deck of a trailer includes a front mounting floor, a central elevating floor, a rear mounting floor and a rear elevating floor, the central elevating floor is capable of loading and unloading the aviation container from the left or right side of the trailer vehicle body, the rear elevating floor is capable of loading and unloading the aviation container from any of the left and right sides and rear end, the front and rear mounting floors are provided with a roller conveyor for movably placing the container and a roller conveyor and a fixed side guide for slidably engaged the container, the central elevating floor is rotatable, the rear elevating floor includes a turntable and a ball conveyor, the central elevating floor and the rear elevating floor are capable to move up and down a single container.

A vehicle platform for a vehicle is provided. The platform includes a platform base extending in a longitudinal direction, and a loading system for laterally loading and unloading an upper body structure onto the platform base. The loading system includes first and second fork arms supporting the upper body structure with respect to a vertical direction, and a lifting mechanism coupled to the platform base and the first and second fork arms. The lifting mechanism moves the first and second fork arms relative to the platform base along the vertical direction. The first and second fork arms are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction and each are movable along a lateral direction between a retracted position, in which the fork arms completely overlap with the platform base, and an extended position, in which the fork arms protrude in the lateral direction from a lateral side of the platform base.

The present disclosure discloses a single-sided movable battery swap station. Wheels are mounted on a chassis; an equipment compartment is fixed above the chassis and is provided with batteries therein; and a sliding part is slidably connected to the equipment compartment, a first speed reducer is fixed with the sliding part and an output shaft thereof is sleeved and fixedly provided with a gear engaged with a rack in the equipment compartment, a first telescopic cylinder is respectively fixed with the sliding part and a second speed reducer of which an output shaft is fixed with a clamping part via a transverse telescopic part, and the clamping part is detachably connected to the batteries.
