Autonomous order picker
The order picker (1) comprising a vehicle (2, 25, 30); a robot device (3) on the vehicle (2, 25, 30), which is configured to manipulate objects within a working range (R_R); a pick-up device (4) on the vehicle for picking up a selection pallet (21) within the working range (R_R); a carrying device (5) on the vehicle for carrying an order pallet (16) within the working range (R_R); and a control unit, which is configured to activate the robot device (3) to convey load units (59) from a selection pallet (21) positioned in the working range (R_R) onto an order pallet (16) carried in the working range (R_R). The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding method for order picking an order pallet (16) comprising load units (59) from a goods warehouse having selection pallets (20) arranged in rows and/or racks (23) using a vehicle (2, 25, 30) and a robot device (3) arranged thereon having a working range (R_R).
Reach truck having a counterweight
A reach truck comprises two wheel arms each coupled to a load wheel, a thrust mast positioned between the wheel arms, a drive unit comprising a steerable drive wheel, and a counterweight comprised of cast iron and positioned in a front region of the reach truck. The counterweight comprises at least one of: (a) a step positioned on a front side of the reach truck at a mid-height of the counterweight and comprising a horizontal tread having a front edge; (b) two fastening apparatuses positioned on opposite sides of an underside of the counterweight, wherein a supporting element is fastened to each of the two fastening apparatuses; and (c) a splashguard positioned on an underside of the counterweight, wherein the splashguard surrounds the steerable drive wheel forming a ring and positioned away from a lateral edge of the counterweight.

Industrial truck comprising a device for reducing transverse vibrations
The invention relates to an industrial truck, in particular a tri-lateral stacker. The industrial truck may include a lateral pusher having a degree of freedom of movement that is oriented laterally, transversely to the main direction of travel of the industrial truck, and a lateral push drive device that can be controlled by a control device of the industrial truck for moving the lateral pusher along a lateral push frame. The industrial truck may include a device for reducing transverse vibrations, such as vibration components that are transverse to the main direction of travel of the industrial track. In a vibration-damping operating mode, the lateral push drive device can be operated as a component of the device for reducing vibrations, wherein the device allows the lateral pusher to move relative to the lateral push frame so as to reduce vibrations.

Pallet shelfing apparatus
A pallet shelfing apparatus for shelf racking of a pallet in a shelf structure, configured to operate in loading, unloading, and hibernate/transport modes. A transporter thereof transports and positions the platform. On a platform configured for loading and unloading the pallet from a selected shelf of the shelf structure, at least one deployable pallet carrying structure is mounted and configured for carrying, reaching and engaging the pallet. At least one deployable anchor, for temporarily stabilizing the pallet shelfing apparatus against at least one hold is deployed in the loading or unloading mode, to engage the at least one hold for stabilizing, and features the at least one hold located off ground, off ceiling, or inside the volume confined by the convex hull of the shelf structure. This volume may be disposed between the platform and at least one of the at least one hold, while in the loading or unloading mode, at least before changing mode into the hibernate/transport mode. The at least one deployable anchor is configured to change the elevation of the at least one deployable pallet carrying structure, after the carrying structure initially engages the pallet.
