Base plate for an autonomously guided industrial truck
A base plate for an autonomously guided industrial truck having a longitudinal direction and a width direction, the base plate being provided to form a base plate arrangement and to downward delimit a vehicle body of the industrial truck in sections. The base plate comprises a plate body to define, at least in sections, an outline of the base plate arrangement. The base plate comprises an opening central in relation to the width direction and provided for accommodating a drive wheel of the industrial truck. The base plate comprises at least one recess offset in the width direction in relation to a longitudinal center axis for accommodating a support wheel arrangement of the industrial truck.
Transport device for transporting one or more handling devices
The present invention relates to a transport device (100) for transporting one or more handling devices, each for handling a pallet (300) and/or a workpiece (1) on a machine tool (1000) which is set up on a base surface for machining the workpiece (1), wherein the transport device (100) is freely movable on the base surface for positioning the one or more handling devices relative to the machine tool (1000), in particular within a region in front and/or next to the machine tool (1000) and/or in front and/or next to a working space of the machine tool (1000).
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.
Modular lifting device and method of using same
A lift for lifting a vehicle above a ground surface comprising an elongated front module insertable under the vehicle and a rear module extending longitudinally from the front module. The front module includes a truck supporting four support arms usable for supporting the vehicle and a pair of front wheels assemblies. The rear module includes a head frame, an actuator assembly mounted to the head frame and a rear wheel assembly. The actuator assembly is operatively coupled to the front and rear wheel assemblies to selectively raise and lower the head frame and the truck by moving the front and rear wheels relative to the truck and head frame.
Chassis with an integrated fork assembly for autonomous mobile robots and autonomous guided vehicles
A compact and mast-less apparatus for an autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) or autonomous guided vehicle (AGVs). The apparatus includes a chassis having a fork assembly with a first plate and second plate, wherein the first plate is provided with a first and second set of bushings mounted thereon, a first and second set of guide rods configured to slide within the bushings and provided with linear bearings, a bearing retainer mounted on the first plate, a ball and bevel gear assembly coupled to the bearing retainer, a hinge clamp mounted on an end of a ball screw nut of the ball and bevel gear assembly, a fork motor operatively coupled to the ball screw and bevel gear assembly and wherein the second plate is provided with mounting holes for mounting the guide rods and hinge clamp.
REAR MOUNTED LIFT FOR OVER-THE-ROAD VEHICLE
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.
