A large animal lifting and moving apparatus includes a frame having a front end and a rear end, the frame, a drive shaft rotatably coupled to the frame, a drive motor coupled to the frame and operatively coupled to the drive shaft; the drive motor selectively powered by a power source, and one or more roller chains coupled to the drive shaft. The frame is structured to support a large animal between the front end and the rear end and structured to be moved during operation of the large animal lifting and moving apparatus. When the drive motor is powered by the power source, the drive motor drives the drive shaft and the roller chains coupled to the drive shaft.

In combination, a storage unit storable within a three-dimensional storage system and a storage/retrieval vehicle navigable through the three-dimensional storage system to storage locations therein at which the storage unit is selectively storable and retrievable. The storage/retrieval vehicle comprises a frame conveyable through the three-dimensional storage system, a platform atop the frame for receipt of the storage unit on the platform, and a loading/unloading mechanism operable to load and unload the storage unit to and from the platform at four different sides thereof. The storage unit and the storage/retrieval vehicle are configured to enable unloading of the storage unit from the platform in any one of four different directions at four different respective sides of the vehicle regardless of an original orientation in which the storage unit was previously loaded onto the platform and without reorienting the storage unit from the original orientation.

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

A reverse telescopic system and an automatic handling equipment are provided. The reverse telescopic system includes a body structure, a fork arm structure, and a slide rail structure connecting the body structure and the fork arm structure. The body structure includes a main body, and a body driving structure mounted at a bottom portion of the main body, and the slide rail structure is connected to the main body. The fork arm structure includes a fork arm body slidably connected to the slide rail structure, and a fork arm driving structure mounted at a bottom portion of the fork arm body.

An automated system (1) for handling containers is described, comprising a vertically arranged telescopic fork (10) which comprises a fixed base (5) and at least one slider (20, 30) telescopically sliding with respect to the fixed base (5) on a series of rollers (14) which support the at least one slider (20, 30), further comprising thrusting means (21) driven by actuators (22) and configured for thrusting the containers inside a shelving, or for removing them, following the movement of the slider (20, 30) to which they are connected, the automated handling system (1) further comprising a supplying system (15), installed on the slider (30) to electrically supply the actuators (22) of the thrusting means (21), the supplying system (15) comprising energy accumulating means (16) configured to store the electric energy for supplying the electric moto-reducers (22).

A load handling device that is installed between a supply position and a loading position, and configured to load at the loading position the load that has been fed from the supply position. The load handling device includes a base platform, a lifting unit that is movable up and down relative to the base platform, a pair of forks that is configured to support a bottom surface of the load that has been fed from the supply position, a fork distance adjusting mechanism that is configured to adjust a distance between the pair of forks in accordance with a size of the load, and a fork advancing/retracting mechanism that is configured to cause the pair of forks to advance to or retract from the loading position.

A coupling portion that is coupled to a mast that supports a fork and has a mechanism that moves the fork in a vertical direction, the coupling portion disposed on each of both ends in a width direction of the mast, a rail that is disposed on a straddle leg disposed on an outside in the width direction of the mast and extending in a direction where the fork extends, the rail moving the coupling portion in the direction where the fork extends, and a drive unit that is disposed on the straddle leg and moves the mast along the straddle leg are included.

A movable battery replacing platform includes a travel-driving portion used for driving the movable battery replacing platform to move on the ground; a lifting portion mounted on the travel-driving portion, for lifting a battery during the replacement of the battery; and a battery mounting portion mounted on the top of the lifting portion, for placing a battery to be replaced or a replaced battery. The battery mounting porting is provided with a battery replacing device. The device can use an unlocking device 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 angle of an upper board 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 remains still.
