Handle head for an electric transport vehicle
A handle head of an electric transport vehicle includes a first body and a second body, with the second body being releasably connected to the first body. The second body conveniently may be disassembled from the first body when the vehicle is going to be shipped, and then reassembled for use of the vehicle. Disassembly of the second body from the first reduces the length of the handle and the volume of the handle head that otherwise need to be accommodated during shipping.
Mobile elevating work platform/stock picker
A mobile elevating work platform includes a chassis and fixed wheels, caster wheels, and a driving and steering wheel secured to the chassis. A control implement coupled with the driving and steering wheel is configured to adjust a steering position of the driving and steering wheel. A drive motor is operable to drive the driving and steering wheel. A platform may be raisable and lowerable with a mast assembly. The control implement may be adjustable to accommodate operator physical characteristics.
Vehicle sensor systems, components and methods
A vehicle includes a vehicle controller communicating over a first communication system with actuators for changing the state of vehicle systems. A signal module communicates with the vehicle controller via the first communication system. One or more signal sources communicate with the signal module via a second communication system, and transmit signals to the signal module. Based on one or more signals and one or more user inputs, the signal module generates and transmits control signals to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller actuates the actuator based on the control signal.
Horizontal conveying carriage
A horizontal conveying carriage includes: a carriage body including: a base part; a drive wheel; and a steering wheel; a forklift attached to the carriage body, and configured to pick up a conveyed object and unload the conveyed object; an extending and shrinking mechanism configured to extend and shrink the forklift in a front-and-rear direction; a lifting and lowering mechanism configured to lift and lower the forklift in a vertical direction; a supporting mechanism configured to support the forklift from a lower side; an own position estimation unit configured to estimate an own position of the carriage body; a positional relation recognition unit configured to recognize a positional relation between the own position and the conveyed object; and a control unit configured to control movement of the carriage body and to control an operation of the forklift based on the own position and the positional relation.
INDUSTRIAL TRUCK COMPRISING A ROTARY STEERING DRIVE
An industrial truck includes at least two steerable wheels, each of which is configured to be steerable independently of one another, and a steering angle control. Each of the at least two steerable wheels has assigned thereto one steering drive unit which comprises a rotary steering motor, and one steering shaft. Each one of the at least two steerable wheels is connected to the rotary steering motor of the steering drive unit via the steering shaft which is assigned thereto. The steering angle control controls each rotary steering motor. The steering angle control has at least one rotational angle detection device which detects a current rotational angle position of each steering shaft. The at least one rotational angle detection device is designed as a part of each steering drive unit.
Multi-dimensional adjustable forklift driving system
A multi-dimensional adjustable forklift driving system includes a cab in which a steering wheel control system, a base plate control system and a pedal system are provided; where the steering wheel control system includes a steering wheel diverter and a first telescopic adjustment device, which is connected to the steering wheel diverter to drive the steering wheel diverter to move; the base plate control system includes a base plate assembly and a second telescopic adjustment device connected to the base plate assembly to drive the base plate assembly to move up and down; the pedal system includes a pedal body and a third telescopic adjustment device connected to the pedal body to drive the pedal body to move. The multi-dimensional adjustable forklift driving system is capable of creating a relatively large space, thereby facilitating the driver getting on or off the vehicle.
CRANE WITH WHEELS HAVING VARIABLE CAMBER ANGLE
A crane for lifting and transporting loads includes a base frame for transferring the loads of the crane onto a support surface by a plurality of wheels. The wheels are capable of rotating relative to the base frame so as to change the camber angle of the wheels.
INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE
An industrial vehicle includes: a steered wheel angle control unit for changing a steered angle of rear wheels so that an angle of a steering handle corresponds to an angle of the rear wheels, based on signals from a steering angle sensor and a steered wheel angle sensor; an angle calculation unit configured to calculate an angle of the rear wheels corresponding to a minimum turning radius at which a vehicle does not turn over based on the gravity center height and a speed of the vehicle; a steered wheel angle limitation unit and a steering angle limitation unit configured to limit and control the angle of the rear wheels based on an angle of the rear wheels corresponding to the minimum turning radius; and a warning notification unit configured to execute a warning notification based on the angle of the rear wheels corresponding to the minimum turning radius.
Operating head for an industrial truck
An operating head for an industrial truck comprises a support extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising opposing carrier sections. One or more gripping sections are positioned opposite each of the opposing carrier sections, wherein the opposing carrier sections and gripping sections at least partially define a handle opening. The operating head further comprises at least one operating element positioned on at least one of the opposing carrier sections. The at least one operating element comprises a cylindrical body extending along a cylindrical body axis and defining a bulge extending radially from the cylindrical body along a bulge axis. The bulge extends towards the one or more gripping sections when the at least one operating element is in a rest position and the at least one operating element is pivotable about the cylindrical body axis by exerting a force against the bulge.
Pallet truck with brake release and lower brake zone detection mechanism
A pallet truck has a brake release mechanism. The pallet truck has a break release mechanism operably coupled to a brake for stopping rotation of a drive wheel. The brake release mechanism includes a brake release sensor and a profile feature that is detectable by the brake release sensor. The profile feature is fixedly coupled to a pivot shaft of a tiller arm of a tiller, and configured to rotate with the pivot shaft as the tiller arm is pivoted. The brake release sensor is positioned adjacent to the pivot shaft and configured to output a signal that causes the brake to release when the profile feature is detected.
