Materials-handling vehicles, such as counterbalanced lift trucks, can incorporate a counterweight that includes a frame, a cavity, and a sensor-mounting recess. The counterweight may be configured to provide an unobstructed horizontal line of sight of at least 180 degrees for a sensor, such as an object-detection sensor, that is mounted within the sensor-mounting recess. A lift truck can include a lift assembly comprising a mast and a pair of forks, an operator compartment comprising truck steering and speed controls, a plurality of wheels, an energy source, a counterweight comprising a frame and a sensor-mounting recess, and a sensor.

An industrial truck with a multi-part vehicle frame comprises a base portion comprising a front wall, a back wall disposed opposite the front wall, and at least one side wall connecting the front wall with the back wall. The front wall, the back wall and the at least one side wall defining a battery compartment. A front portion is configured to couple with the front wall of the base portion and a rear portion is configured to connect with the back wall of the base portion, wherein the base portion is cast as a single component.

The present invention relates to the field of engineering mechanics and more particularly, relates to an engineering work vehicle, and most particularly, relates to a vehicle with a low gravity center and aerial work platform. The vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a power system, a fuel tank, and a hydraulic tank all of which are mounted at a side of the frame. Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also provides an aerial work platform which provides better off-road performance and grade-ability, can work in complicated environment, and owns a longer horizontal reach and larger working range. Moreover, maintenance and repair cost is decreased, lifetime is extended, integrity is higher and appearance looks better.

A chassis for a lift device includes a base, an arm, and a first actuator. The base has a first end and an opposing second end. The first end defines an arm interface and a pivot actuator interface. The arm includes a longitudinal portion pivotably coupled to the arm interface and a lateral portion extending from the longitudinal portion. The lateral portion defines a second pivot actuator interface. The lateral portion is configured to support a tractive element. The pivot actuator extends between the first pivot actuator interface and the second pivot actuator interface. At least a portion of a bottom surface of the lateral portion has a sloped profile.

A lift machine includes a chassis defining a longitudinal center axis, a boom assembly pivotable relative to the chassis, an axle pivotally coupled to the chassis and configured to pivot about the longitudinal center axis, an actuator positioned on a first lateral side of the longitudinal center axis and to facilitate selectively restricting oscillation of the axle, and a controller configured to operate the actuator in a reset mode in response to a tilt angle of the chassis exceeding a first angle threshold. During the reset mode, the controller is configured to (a) prohibit drive functionality of the lift machine and (b) lock the actuator to prevent oscillation of the axle until an elevation angle of the boom assembly is less than a second angle threshold.

An engine exhaust system is accommodated in a counterweight portion while minimizing a change in an existing arrangement of an engine, a radiator, a radiator fan, and the counterweight portion. A body has a work device provided at the front and the counterweight portion at the rear. A ventilation path provided in the counterweight portion includes an elevated part formed between a bottom of a front portion and a bottom of a rear portion. An exhaust gas purification device and a muffler, both having a tube-like outer shape, are disposed in the rear portion of the ventilation path so as to be positioned one above the other with the purification device lying above the muffler. Pipes, which extend straight respectively from an end circumferential surface of the purification device and an end circumferential surface of the muffler toward each other, are connected via flanges.

A powered forklift assembly is configured to be operably mounted on an over-the-road vehicle to shift a load relative to a chassis of the vehicle. The powered forklift assembly includes a shiftable forklift and a vehicle bed. The shiftable forklift includes an extendable mast and a fork mechanism. The fork mechanism is attached to and is vertically shiftable relative to the mast and configured to support the load.

An autonomous guided vehicle includes a chassis with a power supply and powered sections that are connected to the chassis and powered by the power supply. The powered sections include a drive section, a payload handling section, and a peripheral electronics section. A controller of the vehicle includes a comprehensive power management section communicably connected to the power supply so as to monitor a charge level of the power supply. The comprehensive power management section is connected to the drive section, the payload handling section, and the peripheral electronics section respectively powering the drive section, the payload handling section, and the peripheral electronics section from the power supply. The comprehensive power management section manages power consumption of branch circuits, of the powered sections, based on a demand level of each branch circuit relative to the charge level available from the power supply.

An object is to provide an industrial vehicle whereby it is possible to arrange an exhaust purifying apparatus in an efficient layout, and to achieve a high purifying performance. An industrial vehicle includes: a cargo loading device disposed on a front part of a vehicle; a counter weight disposed on a rear part of the vehicle; an engine housed in an engine room formed in front of the counter weight inside the vehicle; and an exhaust purifying device disposed inside the engine room and configured to purify exhaust gas of the engine.

A stack operating vehicle for storage and retrieval storage units. One embodiment of the stack operating vehicle comprises a first bearing device with a first bearing base and a first holding device for handling at least one storage unit; a second bearing device with a second bearing base and a second holding device for handling at least one storage unit. The second holding device is movably supported by a guiding device along a horizontal direction; a vertical guide arrangement at which the first bearing base and the second bearing base are respectively guided on an adjustment path along the vertical direction which are formed such that the first bearing base and the second bearing base overlap one another over their entire adjustment paths in the vertical direction. The disclosure also relates to a method for execution of storage orders with storage units with such a stack operating vehicle.
