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.

A high visibility push-pull handler configured to be mounted on a lift truck. The handler comprising a frame assembly, a pantograph mechanism coupled to the frame assembly, and a faceplate assembly coupled to the pantograph mechanism. The hander is configured with a view window extending through the handler, the view window not obstructed by parts of the handler when the handler is in any normal operating configuration, including a fully extended configuration, a fully retracted configuration, and any configuration in between the full extended and fully retracted positions.

An extension system for a pallet lift and translate tool is provided including a right fork extension arm having a length, including a right angle bar attached to a right rear cover bracket. A mirrored left fork extension arm is also provided having a length, including at least a left angle bar attached to a left rear cover bracket. With the right rear bracket placed around a right fork of the pallet lift and translate tool, and the left rear bracket placed around a left fork of the pallet lift and translate tool, the right and left angle bars extend away from the body along the forks and the right and left extension arms may be extended past a length of the right and left forks to accommodate lifting pallets having different sizes in relation to lengths of the right and left forks.

A high visibility push-pull handler configured to be mounted on a lift truck. The handler comprising a frame assembly, a pantograph mechanism coupled to the frame assembly, and a faceplate assembly coupled to the pantograph mechanism. The hander is configured with a view window extending through the handler, the view window not obstructed by parts of the handler when the handler is in any normal operating configuration, including a fully extended configuration, a fully retracted configuration, and any configuration in between the full extended and fully retracted positions.

A pantograph assembly may include a mast carriage assembly comprising a trunnion cross-member and a trunnion shaft coupled to the trunnion cross-member, and a pantograph mechanism coupled to the trunnion shaft.

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 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.

The present disclosure discloses a hydraulic control system. The hydraulic control system may include a hydraulic module, a PLC control module, a hydraulic valve group control module, a manipulation module, and an action module. The manipulation module is connected with the PLC control module and is configured to input an operation instruction to the PLC control module; the PLC control module is respectively connected to the hydraulic module and the hydraulic valve group control module, and is configured to output a control signal corresponding to the operation instruction to the hydraulic valve group control module, and control the activation of the hydraulic module to provide hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic valve group control module; and the action module is connected with the hydraulic valve group control module, and is configured to perform an action corresponding to the control signal.

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.

Automated guided vehicles are provided having self-lifting mechanisms providing a compact and effective way to lift a heavy payload. The self-lifting AGVs are configured to mount and carry payloads that are not directly above the AGV, but rather may be in any location in a warehouse or facility. The self-lifting AGVs are able to automatically position themselves in front of a payload, automatically lift the payload, and place the payload on the AGV which is then able to move throughout a facility.
