A telescoping weigh fork unit where a base fork has an integrated hydraulic cylinder and a slideable outer shoe on which are supported at least two load cells. Optionally the unit may include an outside telescopic fork shoe to which the load cells are mounted and which supports the outer shoe. Unit may further include a system to alert if distance or weight thresholds are exceeded or if a load cell is inoperable.

A carrier applying precision support and lifting by an Automated Guided Vehicle includes a frame, two supporting arms, and pressing components. Two supporting arms are located on either side of the frame and are movable in a receiving direction relative to the frame. The pressing components are located on the frame, the pressing components include first pressure balls, for pushing the supporting arms across the carrier, and second pressure balls for pushing the supporting arms along the receiving direction. The first and second balls improve the positioning accuracy of the supporting arms relative to the object or material to be transported and reduces friction between the supporting arms and the pressing components. An AGV cart and a loading system are also disclosed.

A material transport cart includes a cart body, a material support body coupled to the cart body, a wheel coupled to the cart body, a motor operable to drive the wheel, and a powered lift assembly. The powered lift assembly is coupled to the cart body and to the material support body. The powered lift assembly is operable to lift the material support body relative to the cart body. A removable battery is electrically coupled to and operable to supply power to both the motor and the powered lift assembly

A tote mover includes a base and a plurality of wheels supporting the base. A backrest is moveable relative to the base. A hook assembly is moveable relative to the backrest between a first rotational position and a second rotational position.

A load alignment aid with range finding sensors positioned diagonally on a mounting platform to calculate range, vertical alignment, and horizontal alignment. Each sensor measures a distance (d) from the mounting platform to the load. Where d(1) does not equal d(2) and d(1) does not equal d(3), a misalignment due to tilt or chassis misalignment is detected. The aid further includes a display which may show a graphic representation of the approach to a load and an alert for misalignment notification.

An exemplary embodiment may provide a robotic powered cargo handling system. An embodiment may implement a pallet-lift mechanism to lift cargo or pallets. Powered rollers may be embedded into the forks of a pallet-lift mechanism and on top of the vehicle body. An exemplary embodiment may be fully autonomous. A user or software may direct the vehicle to a pallet or piece of cargo and set a destination for the cargo. Sensors, cameras, GPS, and computer vision may be implemented to navigate and avoid obstacles. An exemplary embodiment may include independent 4-wheel steering, 4 corner height adjustment, in-hub electric motors, and pneumatic or solid tires.

The invention relates to an industrial truck comprising a mast (8), a load-carrying apparatus (36), which can be moved upwards and downwards thereon and which has at least one load-receiving means for receiving a load that is to be transported, and a support structure (24) connecting the load-receiving means to the mast (8), the load receiving means having a load-carrying arrangement (41) connected to the support structure (24), and a device for reducing vibrations, characterised in that the device for reducing vibrations has at least one load support (50), which covers the load-carrying arrangement (41) at the top at least in regions, on which support a load received by the load-carrying apparatus (36) can be supported and which support is provided so as to be movable to a limited extent on the load-carrying arrangement (41) such that it can perform vibration-reducing movements relative to the load-carrying arrangement (41).

Typically, unit loads with wooden pallets in warehouses are moved by pallet lifters or AMRs which are bulkier in size and require more power with high operating costs. This disclosure relates generally to a unit load lifter designed with counterbalance arm mounted on an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to load and unload unit load from one position to another position autonomously. The unit load lifter includes a horizontal slide unit and a vertical axis fork assembly. The horizontal slide unit include base plate of the unit load lifter is mounted on the AMR. A plurality of fixed guides is integrated with the base plate to house the vertical axis fork assembly by a plurality of rollers on a roller mounting plate. The vertical axis fork assembly include an actuating end of a linear actuator is connected to the sliding plate to drive the at least one fork up and down.

Disclosed is a manually length-adjustable fork for a lifting device such as a forklift truck, a forklift truck provided therewith, and a method therefor. The fork includes a fixed fork part; an adjustable fork part displaceable relative to the fixed fork part and provided from a tubular profile which is for a large part open on the side facing downward during use; and a locking mechanism connected to the fixed fork part and provided with a locking catch, a spring mechanism and a fastener accessible from an underside for manual operation of the locking catch.

Disclosed are a movable battery replacing platform (103) and a quick replacing system (100), wherein the movable battery replacing platform (103) comprises: a travel-driving portion (106) used for driving the movable battery replacing platform (103) to move on the ground; a lifting portion (107) mounted on the travel-driving portion (106), for lifting a battery during the replacement of the battery; and a battery mounting portion (108) mounted on the top of the lifting portion (107), for placing a battery to be replaced or a replaced battery, wherein the battery mounting porting (108) is provided with a battery replacing device. The device can use an unlocking device (50) to unlock a battery locked on the bottom of an electric vehicle, automatically aligning an unlocking point of a battery locking mechanism and realizing automatic unlocking in the movement. The whole process is fully automated without manual intervention and can improve battery replacement efficiency. In addition, the angle of an upper board (10) relative to the battery unlocking position can be adjusted by a movement actuating device, so that the unlocking point of the battery can automatically fit where the movable battery replacing platform (103) remains still, so as to further improve unlocking efficiency.
