A load-handling vehicle, including a body; a boom, pivotally mounted to the body at a rear end region so that the boom can pivot up and down about an axis extending laterally with respect to the vehicle, wherein the boom has a load carrying implement attachable at a forward end region thereof; a steerable ground engageable propulsion arrangement; an electrically powered drive for the propulsion arrangement; a platform positioned at the rear of the body and to the side of the boom; and a battery pack positioned on the platform.

A material handling vehicle is provided, which includes a frame having an aperture directed through the frame and configured to receive a battery pack, and a counterweight assembly. The counterweight assembly includes a counterweight having a first opening, and an opposite second opening, a first positioning rod having a first end, and an opposite second end. The first end is directed through the first opening. A first nut is threadingly engaged with the second end of the first positioning rod. The first nut is rotated in a first direction to advance the first end of the first positioning rod farther through the first opening to contact the frame, thereby adjusting the position of the counterweight relative to the frame.

A pallet truck includes a front frame having at least one fork and being connected to a drive unit through a lift cylinder, a plug-in battery assembly, a hydraulic supply system and a plug-in controller assembly connected to the front frame, and an operator handle connected to the drive unit. The pallet truck may include a rear frame having caster wheel assemblies that are mounted from above, and where the rear frame is connected to the drive unit.

A vehicle body and controller plug-in module for a material handling vehicle. The vehicle body having an upstanding body portion having an upwardly open compartment having a bottom including an upward extending wall surrounding electrical contacts associated with controller functions of the vehicle. The controller plug-in module includes a housing configured to be received by the upwardly open compartment of the vehicle body. The housing has a lower portion that includes an upward extending wall defining a recess surrounding electrical contacts. The controller plug-in module is configured to be removably electrically connected to the vehicle when the upward extending wall surrounding the electrical contacts of the upwardly open compartment of the upstanding body is plugged into and received by the recess in the lower portion of the housing of the controller plug-in module having the upward extending wall surrounding the electrical contacts of the controller plug-in module.

A mobile omnidirectional device having a base support, four wheels pivotally connected to the base support, each wheel being driven by a drive motor, a controller for individually controlling each of the drive motors, and a power source for powering the controller and the drive motors. The device provides a zero inch turning radius and can be configured as a jib hoist or a rolling transportation cart.

The invention relates to a construction vehicle (1).

A battery module (40; 240; 340) is provided to supply electricity to at least one electric motor (80, 87) of the construction vehicle (1).

A fastening structure (70; 270) of the battery module (40; 240; 340) is designed to be removably fastened to a first longitudinal member (10-1), in a fastening position located beneath the cab (29) in the vertical direction (C-C) of the construction vehicle (1), and the battery module (40; 240; 340) in the fastening position is accessible from an outer side of the construction vehicle (1) so that said module can be brought into or out of the fastening position from the outer side of the construction vehicle (1).

The present invention provides a pallet carrier, comprising a carrier frame structure; a fork structure disposed on the carrier frame structure; a driving wheel structure comprising driving wheels that are articulated to the carrier frame structure, wherein each one of the driving wheels is set as a one-piece wheel structure integrated with a driving motor and a hub. The pallet carrier has the advantages of simple structure and work reliability.

A system for managing an inventory of carpet rolls within a warehouse includes one or more autonomous lift trucks, a database configured to store location information for a plurality of carpet rolls in the warehouse, a server in electronic communication with the database, and a system manager configured to send one or more instructions to the one or more lift trucks. The one or more autonomous lift trucks include a frame, a mast attached to the frame, a pole fixedly mounted on the mast, the pole being configured for insertion within a core of a carpet roll for transport of the carpet roll, a plurality of imaging devices mounted on each lift truck in a displaceable manner, at least one navigation sensor, at least one safety sensor, at least one emergency stop, and at least three wheels.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle frame which is supported by first and second axles. A driver's cab, a lifting arm, and at least one electrical energy store unit are supported on the vehicle frame. The lifting arm is arranged along a longitudinal direction of the work vehicle parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle frame. The driver's cab is arranged to a first side of the longitudinal axis between the two axles. The at least one energy store unit is arranged between the two axles to a second side of the longitudinal axis, which is situated opposite the first side.

A material handling vehicle is provided, which includes a counterweight assembly. The counterweight assembly includes a counterweight, a positioning member, and a position adjuster. The position adjuster is configured to advance or retreat the positioning member to adjust a distance the positioning member emerges from the counterweight thereby adjusting a position of the counterweight relative to a frame of the material handling vehicle.
