This oscillating axle (3) for a lifting device (1) comprises an axle bridge (5) at the ends of which are mounted two ground connection members (7), an oscillation axis (X3), a left jack (9) and a right jack (11), each jack (9, 11) having a rod (90, 110) in contact with the bridge (5) and a body (92, 112) fixed on a fixed part (13) of a chassis (2) of the lifting device (1), the body (92, 112) forming a chamber (94, 114) in which the rod (90, 110) moves. The axle comprises a hydraulic circuit (15) interconnecting the chambers (92, 112) of the left (9) and right (11) jacks, in which a fluid is present at a given pressure, making it possible to press the rods (90, 110) of the left jack (9) and of the right jack (11) against the bridge (5), and at least one solenoid valve (150, 152) on a branch (15A) of the hydraulic circuit (15) connected to the chamber (94) of the left jack (9), and at least one solenoid valve (154, 156) on a branch (15B) of the hydraulic circuit (15) connected to the chamber (114) of the right jack (11), wherein each of these solenoid valves (150, 152, 154, 156) may be positioned in an open position, in which fluid may flow freely, and a closed position, in which the fluid is trapped in the chamber (94, 114) of the corresponding jack (9, 11). Each of the chambers (94, 114) of the left jack (9) and of the right jack (11) has a pressure sensor (23, 25) designed to measure the pressure of the fluid in each of the chambers (94, 114). Control means (21) are provided to detect a pressure in one of the chambers (94, 114) that is greater than a first threshold, and/or a differential between the pressures in each of the chambers (94, 114) that is greater than a second threshold, so as to detect the blocking of a solenoid valve (150, 152, 154, 156) in the closed position, and to initiate a safety procedure.

The present invention relates to a machine tool (1000) for machining a workpiece (1), comprising: at least one first machine tool structure which can be moved freely on a base surface and has at least one machine tool component, and at least one second machine tool structure having at least one further machine tool component, wherein the at least one freely movable first machine tool structure, together with the at least one second machine tool structure, forms the machine tool (1000) configured for machining the workpiece (1), when the at least one freely movable first machine tool structure is positioned on the at least one second machine tool structure.

A material handling vehicle is provided. The material handling vehicle includes a vehicle frame having a drive wheel and an offset wheel arranged under the vehicle frame. The material handling vehicle further includes a rear load wheel assembly pivotally coupled to the vehicle frame via an articulating axle assembly. The rear load wheel assembly includes a first load wheel and a second load wheel. The pivotal coupling between the rear load wheel and the vehicle frame provided by the articulating axle assembly is configured to maintain the drive wheel and the offset wheel in contact with a floor on which the drive wheel and the offset wheel travel.

A movable body is a tricyclic movable body automatically moving and includes: a first steering wheel which is steerable but not drivable; a second steering wheel which is steerable but not drivable and provided on a side in a first direction with respect to the first steering wheel; and a drive wheel which is steerable and drivable and provided on a side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction with respect to the first steering wheel and the second steering wheel.

A transport vehicle for transporting payloads is provided. The transport vehicle includes primary and secondary chassis, and first and second sets of wheels for supporting the respective primary and secondary chassis. A guide arrangement is mounted on the primary chassis and the secondary chassis is slidably mounted on the guide arrangement. The primary and secondary chassis are parallel and spaced apart from each other. A payload lifting arrangement is positioned on a top surface of the secondary chassis to lift a payload. When a weight of the payload is below or equal to a threshold weight, the weight is distributed across the second set of wheels by way of the suspension arrangement. When the weight of the payload exceeds the threshold weight, the weight is distributed across the first and second sets of wheels by way of the guide arrangement and the suspension arrangement, respectively.

An industrial truck comprises a load part comprises a load-carrying means including at least one load wheel and a drive part including a vehicle frame defining an opening. A steerable drive wheel and at least one support wheel are arranged on the vehicle frame.
