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.

A tugger cart includes a tugger frame having a first side member, a second side member, and a locking member disposed in between the first side member and the second side member. A first roller assembly is coupled to an inner surface of the first side member and a second roller assembly coupled to an inner surface of the second side member. Each of the first roller assembly and the second roller assembly include a roller assembly frame and a plurality of wheels rotatably coupled to the roller assembly frame. The roller assembly frame supports the plurality of wheels at a slant that declines from a rear of the tugger frame to a front of the tugger frame. An actuator is configured to raise and lower the first roller assembly and the second roller assembly relative to the first side member and the second side member respectively.

A device (1) for the accurate positioning of a transport pallet (2) includes a coupling unit (3, 4) for coupling to the transport pallet (2), a handle element (6) which is arranged on the coupling unit (3, 4) for the handling of the device (1) by an operator, and a locking unit (7, 8) for locking the coupling unit (3, 4) non-rotatably to the transport pallet (2) in a fixed position.

A pallet jack includes a base and a pair of tines extending from the base. The pair of tines including a first tine and a second tine. A load wheel supports an outer end of each of the pair of tines. Each load wheel is configured to move toward and away from the respective tine to raise the tine off a floor on which the load wheel is supported. The first tine including a support surface configured to selectively be a lowermost surface of the tine to facilitate lateral displacement of the first tine.

A lift releasably coupled to a carrier and methods of making the lift or the carrier and methods of using embodiments of the lift which lift disposed in a retracted condition releasably couples to the carrier engaged to a support surface with the rotatable members of the one or more lifts disengaged from the support surface, and using embodiments of the lift which in an extended condition engages the rotatable members with the support surface to lift the carrier and allow translation of the carrier over the support surface.

A pallet sled includes a pair of tines extending forward from a base. A load wheel supports each of the pair of tines. The load wheels are each configured to move away from the respective tine to lift the respective tine upward relative to a support surface on which the load wheel is supported. A processor on the pallet sled records usage of the sled, such as lift cycles, location over time, battery condition, lift height, weight lifted, distance traveled, and the like. A communication circuit may be configured to send data from the pallet sled to a remote server. An identification reader may be configured to read an identification tag of an object supported on the pair of tines, such as an rfid tag on a pallet.

A seal head assembly includes a plurality of heat seal plates defining a corresponding plurality of heating areas, each heat seal plate including a heating element to independently control the temperature of the corresponding heating area.

A tugger cart includes a tugger frame having a first side member, a second side member, and a locking member disposed in between the first side member and the second side member. A first roller assembly is coupled to an inner surface of the first side member and a second roller assembly coupled to an inner surface of the second side member. Each of the first roller assembly and the second roller assembly include a roller assembly frame and a plurality of wheels rotatably coupled to the roller assembly frame. The roller assembly frame supports the plurality of wheels at a slant that declines from a rear of the tugger frame to a front of the tugger frame. An actuator is configured to raise and lower the first roller assembly and the second roller assembly relative to the first side member and the second side member respectively.

A device (1) for the accurate positioning of a transport pallet (2) includes a coupling unit (3, 4) for coupling to the transport pallet (2), a handle element (6) which is arranged on the coupling unit (3, 4) for the handling of the device (1) by an operator, and a locking unit (7, 8) for locking the coupling unit (3, 4) non-rotatably to the transport pallet (2) in a fixed position.

A load wheel assembly for an elongate fork of a forked material-handling vehicle with a chassis employs a forward load wheel, a rear load wheel, and means for coupling torque between the forward load wheel and the rear load wheel to overcome obstacles on a surface, such as a floor.
