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.

A support roller (30, 30′) for supporting a vehicle on an underlying surface, comprising at least one bearing element which is at least indirectly connectable to at least one supporting structure of the vehicle, at least one fork connected to the bearing element, and at least one wheel (90, 90′) which is mounted in the fork so as to be rotatable about a first rolling axis (R) and can be brought into contact with the underlying surface, at least one sensing device (190 ) for sensing at least one supporting force with which the wheel (90, 90′) is supported on the underlying surface. A vehicle, in particular an industrial truck, comprising at least one support roller and a method for stabilizing a vehicle.

The invention relates to an industrial truck comprising a mast, a load-carrying apparatus, which can be moved upwards and downwards thereon and which has at least one load-receiving assembly for receiving a load that is to be transported, and a support structure connecting the load-receiving assembly to the mast, the load-receiving assembly having a load-carrying arrangement connected to the support structure, and a device for reducing vibrations, characterised in that the device for reducing vibrations has at least one load support, which covers the load-carrying arrangement at the top at least in regions, on which support a load received by the load-carrying apparatus can be supported and which support is provided so as to be movable to a limited extent on the load-carrying arrangement such that it can perform vibration-reducing movements relative to the load-carrying arrangement.

A mid-mount fire apparatus includes a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, a front cabin coupled to the chassis forward of the body assembly, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a tandem rear axle coupled to the chassis, and a ladder assembly having a proximal end that is coupled to the chassis rearward of the front cabin and between the front axle and the tandem rear axle. The ladder assembly includes a plurality of ladder sections. The ladder assembly is extensible to a horizontal reach of at least 88 feet. A distal end of the ladder assembly does not extend beyond the rear end of the body assembly when fully retracted.

A frame, a boom assembly, and an actuator. The boom assembly includes a first boom section having a proximal end coupled to the frame and a distal end opposite the proximal end and a second boom section pivotably coupled to the distal end of the first boom section. The actuator is reconfigurable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The actuator permits the boom assembly to move freely when the actuator is in the unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the actuator is positioned to couple the second boom section to the frame such that the actuator limits movement of the first boom section relative to the frame.

A notch 41, which is formed on a land 31 that, in a main spool 30, blocks a reach-in side actuator port A from communicating with a second passage T, comprises a first notch and a second notch. The first notch comprises a first region that has a semi-circular shape in the plan view and in which the area of an opening between a valve body 40 and the land 31 becomes gradually larger, and a second region that is connected to the first region and in which the area of an opening between the valve body 40 and the land 31 is constant, and the second notch comprises a third region that has a semi-circular shape in the plan view and in which the area of the opening between the valve body 40 and the land 31 gradually becomes larger, and a fourth region that is connected to the third region and in which the area of the opening between the valve body 40 and the land 31 is constant.

An industrial truck includes a drive part with a drive frame and a load part. The load part includes a lift frame having a load frame, which includes a plate, a load-carrying means connected to the plate, and at least one bearing head configured to receive a lift cylinder. The at least one bearing head is connected to the plate.

The vehicle includes a load bearing portion, a counterweight, a stability control system and a controller. The counterweight is mounted on the load transport vehicle along a longitudinal axis of the load transport vehicle. The counterweight is configured to counter a first moment generated by a load carried by the load bearing portion. The first moment causes the load transport vehicle to rotate along a first vertical plane perpendicular to a ground on which the load transport vehicle rests or is driven. The first plane is parallel to the longitudinal axis. The stability control system is mounted on the load transport vehicle. The stability control system is extendable along the longitudinal axis to counter a second moment causing the load transport vehicle to rotate along the first vertical plane.

This carrying system is a carrying system in which a load is carried by an autonomous mobile robot. The autonomous mobile robot has: a platform on which the load is placed; a control unit that controls the level of the platform; and an engaging part that engages with a predetermined object in a surrounding environment when the platform is raised.
