Pallet truck
A pallet truck includes a drive frame on which a drive wheel support is pivotably supported, a load frame, which is liftable with respect to the drive frame in a lifting direction, and a hydraulic lift module, which interconnects the drive frame and the load frame. The hydraulic lift module includes a hydraulic lift cylinder, which includes a cylinder barrel and a piston rod, wherein the cylinder barrel includes a cap end at one end portion of the cylinder barrel and a rod end at the other end portion of the cylinder barrel, wherein the piston rod extends outwards from the cylinder barrel at the rod end of the cylinder barrel and wherein a free end of the piston rod is accommodated in the drive frame. In the lifting direction, the cap end of the cylinder barrel is arranged above the rod end of the cylinder barrel.
Pallet for Tubular Down-Hole Tools
A pallet is provided for supporting cylinders. The pallet can have a convex spine extending substantially the length of the pallet in a longitudinal direction, having a backstop at a first end. The pallet has two trays attached transverse to the convex spine, each tray having longitudinal fluted indents to restrain a cylinder from rolling transverse, the longitudinal fluted indents are each arranged to accept a cylinder from above. The pallet has a left outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the left outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain, as well as a right outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the right outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain. The pallet can have a coupling extending from an end of the convex spine, wherein the coupling is arranged to take a crane hook in engagement to pull the pallet.
AUGMENTED REALITY OBJECT RENDERING BASED ON CAMERA QUALITY
Systems and embodiments herein describe an augmented reality (AR) object rendering system. The AR object rendering system receives an image, generates a set of noise parameters and a set of blur parameters for the image using a neural network trained on a paired dataset of images, identifies an AR object associated with the image, modifies the AR object using the set of noise parameters and the set of blur parameters, displays the modified augmented reality object within the image.
Removable portable cart with lifting system
A portable cart has a frame assembly having a front end, a rear end, and a plurality of vertical beams. A front leg assembly having a pair of extendable front legs is secured adjacent the front end of the frame assembly, and a rear leg assembly having a pair of extendable rear legs is assembly secured adjacent the rear end of the frame assembly. A table top is secured to the frame assembly.
Modular fork assembly for a forked material-handling vehicle
A modular fork assembly for a pallet truck includes a discrete elongate body, a discrete load wheel module, and a discrete fork tip that may be detachably connected by the same or different types of interlocking mechanisms that are adapted to inhibit sheer forces. The load wheel module includes a frame and a load wheel assembly that includes a load wheel that is operatively connected to the frame.
PALLET JACK WITH LATERALLY SPREADING AND TELESCOPICALLY EXTENDING PRONGS
A pallet jack for adapting to different pallets includes a frame and a steer wheel rotatably coupled to the frame. A frame jack is mounted between the steer wheel and the frame, and the frame jack is alternately extendable and retractable to raise and lower the frame respectively relative to the steer wheel. A pair of prongs is mounted to the frame. Each prong is elongated and extends forwardly from the frame. The prongs lie parallel to each other and are spaced laterally from each other with respect to the frame. Each prong is slidable laterally with respect to the frame and is alternately telescopically extendable away from and retractable toward the frame.
CART INTERFACE
A vehicle includes a chassis, a frame, a tractive element, a drive motor, and a cart interface. The cart interface includes a base frame coupled to the frame assembly of the vehicle, and a first and second pin assembly. The first and second pin assembly each include first pin configured to engage a cart and a actuator configured to raise the pin relative to the frame. The first pin assembly also includes a first linear actuator configured to bias the first pin relative to the first linear actuator and to permit relative movement between the first pin and first linear actuator. The cart interface includes a first actuator to reposition the first pin independently of the second pin and is configured to hold the pin in either of a lowered position, a raised position above a lowered position and an intermediate position between the raised and lowered positions.
VEHICLE WITH REMOVABLE PIN FOR LIFT ASSEMBLY
A vehicle system includes a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The first vehicle includes a first drive motor configured to drive one or more of a first plurality of tractive elements to propel the first vehicle, and a first cradle configured to support a product at a first end thereof for movement. The second vehicle includes a second drive motor configured to drive one or more of a second plurality of tractive elements to propel the second vehicle, and a second cradle configured to support the product at a second end thereof for movement. The first vehicle and the second vehicle move the product via at least one of the first drive motor or the second drive motor.
VEHICLE COUPLING SYSTEM
A vehicle coupling system includes a first vehicle, a second vehicle, and a tow bar. The first vehicle includes a drive motor configured to propel the first vehicle and a lifting implement configured to support a product for movement. The second vehicle includes a lifting implement configured to support the product for movement. The tow bar is coupled to the first vehicle at a first end of the tow bar and coupled to the second vehicle at a second end of the tow bar opposite the first end. Responsive to the drive motor propelling the first vehicle, the tow bar exerts a force on the second vehicle to maintain a space between the second vehicle and the first vehicle.
ADJUSTABLE OPERATION OF MANUFACTURING VEHICLES
A vehicle may include a frame, a drive system configured to propel the vehicle, an energy storage device configured to provide power to the drive system, a lift implement including a cradle to support a load and a lift assembly configured to adjust a position of the cradle relative to the frame, one or more sensors configured to provide sensing data indicative of at least one of a status of the vehicle, the load supported by the cradle, or an environment surrounding the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to operate the vehicle in a first mode of a plurality of modes including a manual mode, a guided vehicle mode, and an autonomous mode, determine a match value between the sensing data and at least one operational criteria of a plurality of operational criteria; and operate the vehicle in a second mode based on the match value.
