The jack includes an upper support portion (upper plate) fixed to the lower portion of the vehicle body, and an airbag provided below the upper support portion (upper plate) and inflated and deployed by the supply of gas. According to the jack, the airbag is inflated and deployed under the vehicle body by the supply of the gas. When the gas is further supplied to the airbag in contact with the ground, the vehicle body fixed to the upper support portion (upper plate) is lifted. When the vehicle body is lifted in this manner, the state of contact between the wheels and the ground is changed, and the vehicle can escape from the stacked state.

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for automatically determining the movement space of an operating automated guided vehicle and autonomously optimizing the driving behavior thereof comprising loading in dynamic production and logistics environments, comprising the following features: The automated guided vehicle, hereinafter referred to as AGV, carries cargo (11) by means of a lifting supporting plate (10), wherein monitoring spaces (35) are calculated according to the velocity of the vehicle, the position and properties of the cargo (11), and the direction of travel.

An adjustable air control apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is designed for an efficient inflation and deflation of bladders in an article lift. The apparatus integrates blowers, manifolds, air transmission ports, and a control panel featuring a processor for precise airflow regulation. The modular design of the air transmission ports allows customization based on the size of the article lift, enhancing scalability and adaptability. A quick release clamp facilitates an easy attachment and detachment of tubings, streamlining operations. The apparatus is coated with water-resistant materials, ensuring durability and safe operation in moist environments. Additionally, a memory unit stores critical parameters, such as a maximum fluid capacity of bladders, enabling optimal performance and system monitoring. The apparatus offers a compact, reliable, and efficient solution for air management in inflatable systems.

A lifting system comprises a platform (10) with at least one inflatable body (21, 22) which is connected to a fluid conduit (23, 24) for the purpose of receiving an inflating fluid, particularly a gas under increased pressure such as compressed air. In a first aspect the at least one inflatable body (21, 22) is connected for rotation about a rotation axis (H) relative to the platform (10). The inflatable body (21, 22) bounds here a winding space (40) in which the fluid conduit, when not in use, is received in a state in which it is wound around the rotation axis. In a second aspect the lifting system comprises on or at the platform (10) a fluid system (51, 52) which is remotely controllable.
