Vehicles, systems and methods for providing articulating two section vehicles with tracks, and a front body attached superstructure with telescopic forklift, for use on all terrain condition applications. The vehicle can include front and rear track assemblies that can tilt up and down while traveling over different ground surfaces. Each of the track assemblies can have rotatable articulating/oscillating track wheels which can traverse different contoured surfaces. The right and left tracks on both the front and rear track assemblies can separately extend outward and inward from underneath the vehicles to add stability to the vehicles. The cab can be raised and lowered to add greater visibility for the operator. Hydraulics can be used for raising and lowering the extendable boom and operator cab, as well as controlling the body articulating hinge, the articulating tracks and the tilting controls for the front track assembly.

The invention relates to an industrial truck comprising a vehicle body (6); a mast (8) that extends substantially vertically and is rigidly connected to the vehicle body (6) or hinged to the vehicle body (6), the mast (8) being associated with a load-carrying apparatus such that said apparatus can be moved upwards and downwards on said mast, which load-carrying apparatus comprises at least one load-receiving means for receiving a load that is to be transported; and an outrigger (9), the longitudinal axis (L) of which extends between a first fastening point (9a) on the vehicle body (6) and a second fastening point (9b) on the mast (8), the second fastening point (9b) being associated with a vertically upper side of the mast (8). In this case, the outrigger (9) is associated with an apparatus for reducing vibrations (9d) which is designed to reduce vibrations acting in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) of the outrigger (9).

A machine includes a chassis having a first end and an opposing second end, an axle pivotally coupled to the first end of the chassis, a first actuator coupled to the first end of the chassis, and a second actuator coupled to the first end of the chassis. The chassis defines a longitudinal center axis. The axle is configured to rotate about the longitudinal center axis. The first actuator is positioned on a first lateral side of the longitudinal center axis. The first actuator is extendable to selectively engage a first contact point on the axle. The second actuator is positioned on an opposing second lateral side of the longitudinal center axis. The second actuator is extendable to selectively engage a second contact point on the axle.

A forklift includes a vehicle body, a fork having a distal end extending in one direction of a first axis, a mast extending along a second axis intersecting the first axis and holding a proximal end of the fork such that the fork slides along the second axis, and a first sliding mechanism configured to cause the mast to slide along the first axis so that the distal end protrudes from the vehicle body.

A telehandler includes a frame assembly, a series of tractive elements rotatably coupled to the frame assembly, a boom assembly, and an actuator selectively reconfigurable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The boom assembly includes a lower boom section having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the frame assembly, an intermediate boom section pivotably coupled to a distal end of the lower boom section, and an upper boom section having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the intermediate boom section and a distal end configured to be coupled to an implement. The boom assembly is configured to move freely when the actuator is in the unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the actuator is positioned to couple the intermediate boom section to the frame assembly such that the actuator limits rotation of the lower boom section relative to the frame assembly.

A control system for use with a working machine is provided, the working machine including a machine body, and a load handling apparatus coupled to the machine body and moveable by a movement actuator with respect to the machine body, the working machine being configured for use with at least one electric energy storage module. The control system includes a controller configured to: receive or acquire information representative of an attribute of said electric energy storage module; determine permitted and/or prohibited operations of the working machine based on the received or acquired information; and issue an operations signal for use by at least one element of the working machine corresponding to the determined permitted and/or prohibited operations.

A forklift includes forks, cylinders for causing the forks to perform an ascending/descending operation in accordance with the flow rate of hydraulic oil, a first valve for controlling the flow rate of the hydraulic oil in accordance with an energizing current, a second valve 6 for regulating the flow rate of the hydraulic oil in accordance with cylinder pressure, and a control portion that calculates the flow rate to be regulated by the second valve, on the basis of cylinder pressure detected by a pressure sensor, calculates a current command value for the energizing current, with the flow rate to be controlled by the first valve being set equal to the regulated flow rate, and changes the energizing current in two stages, with the current command value as the upper limit of the energizing current, thereby decelerating the forks in two stages when stopping the ascending/descending operation.

Described is a system for stabilizing a self-propelled operating machine (1), comprising scissor-like stabilizers (10), designed to pass from operating configurations, in which they stabilize the machine (1), thereby raising the wheels (22) above the ground, to a rest configuration, in which the wheels (11) are returned to the ground, in turn comprising: one or more pairs of rotatable stabilizing telescopic arms (2), each arm (2) comprising a first segment (21) and a second segment (22) extendable and retractable relative to the first segment (21) and equipped with a foot (20) for contact with the ground; first movement means (3) designed to rotate the arms (2) between a completely raised position and lowered working positions; second movement means designed to move the second segments (22) between a completely closed position and extended positions; and a processing unit configured to control the first and second movement means in such a way that the stabilizers (10) perform the following retraction sequence: rotating the arms (2) upwards to a first partially raised position; retracting the second segments (22) to a completely closed position; rotating the arms (2) upwards to the completely raised position, so that the stabilizers (10) are in the rest position.

Technologies are described for restraining systems. The systems may comprise a base, a stationary arm, a swing arm, a rod, first straps, and second straps. A bottom end of the stationary arm may be attached to a first end of the base. A bottom end of the swing arm may be attached at a second end of the base. The rod may be attached to top ends of the stationary arm and the swing arm. First straps may be attached to the stationary arm and configured to loop around and support an object. Second straps may be attached to the swing arm and configured to loop around and support the object. The rod may move and push the top of the swing arm away from the top of the stationary arm. A friction force between the first and second straps and the object may be effective to restrain the object.

An apparatus for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes one or more steerable wheels, a stabilizer member, and an A-Frame, where the A-Frame encloses a plurality of components for mechanically coupling the one or more steerable wheels to the stabilizer member. The stabilizer member is extendable out of at least one side of the pallet jack based at least on an angle of rotation of the one or more steerable wheels. A method for load stabilization on a pallet jack includes receiving a steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of a pallet jack from an angular position sensor. The method includes activating an electric motor for extending a stabilizer member of the pallet jack, where a distance of extension of the stabilizer member is based on the steering angle for one or more steerable wheels of the pallet jack.
