The first portion of screw connections each extend in a first direction and the second portion of the screw connections each extend in a second direction which is different from the first direction.

A material transport cart includes a cart body, a material support body coupled to the cart body, a wheel coupled to the cart body, a motor operable to drive the wheel, and a powered lift assembly. The powered lift assembly is coupled to the cart body and to the material support body. The powered lift assembly is operable to lift the material support body relative to the cart body. A removable battery is electrically coupled to and operable to supply power to both the motor and the powered lift assembly

Improved lifting devices typically configured to move heavy loads to and from the cargo area or bed of an associated vehicle are disclosed.

A cargo transport system is provided that has an ability to move cargo in an autonomous or semi-autonomous manner, using a compact lift vehicle capable of lifting relatively heavy objects. The system includes a cargo loading system, a sensor suite coupled with a controller, dunnage detection, cross-decking capability, cargo stacking capability, autonomous navigation, tip detection and prevention, or any combinations thereof. The system may include a fork assembly coupled with a mast and movable in a vertical direction relative to the mast. Further, the mast may be coupled with a platform or deck and movable in a horizontal direction relative to the platform, to allow the fork assembly to be lowered below a top plane of the platform when the mast is at a forward location relative to the platform. The controller and sensor suite and may provide for autonomous or semi-autonomous control and movement of the cargo transport system.

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 lateral stability system for a telescopic handler (1), whose telescopic boom (11) is fitted with equipment (12) suitable for lateral translation of a load (10), comprising a processing unit which includes at least a first enabling module, configured to enable or inhibit movements of said boom (11), according to one or more safety parameters. The system comprises first sensing means for determining the position of the load (10) relative to a center plane (M) of said equipment (12), connected to the processing unit, wherein a first safety parameter is a function of a value of an imbalance signal produced by the first sensing means.

The invention relates to an industrial truck comprising

a chassis (6),
a mast (8) arranged on the chassis (6) in an upright position, a load-carrying apparatus (36), which has at least one load-receiving means (42) for receiving a load that is to be transported,
a support structure (9) that supports the load-carrying apparatus (36) on the mast (8) and can be moved, together with the load-carrying apparatus (36), upwards and downwards on the mast (8), and comprising
a device (54) for reducing vibrations,
wherein the device (54) for reducing vibrations has at least one additional mass body (60), which is supported by the mast (8) or the components connected thereto and is not constantly rigidly coupled to the mast (8) or the support structure (9) or the load-carrying apparatus (36), but is movably mounted by means of a bearing arrangement (62) such that it is movable relative to the mast (8) in response to mast vibrations, in particular to mast vibrations having horizontal vibration components, in order to counteract mast vibrations.

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

A device for carrying out interventions on an electrical transmission line assembly, including a self-propelled lifting machine having a mobile end support member and at least one robot arm provided with tools for remote-controlled execution of a given task. The robot arm is attached to a platform attached to at least two electrical insulation tubes located at a distance from, and opposite to, one another, one portion of the electrical insulation tubes being attached to the end support member of the self-propelled lifting machine.
