There is proposed vehicle storage apparatus, including a lifting jack having spaced apart lifting tines, a dolly being reversibly couplable to the lifting jack in a number of alternate positions, and a centre point device. The centre point device is used for determining the weight distribution along a longitudinal axis of the dolly when a vehicle is located thereon to assist in the suitable attachment of the dolly to lifting tines, to thereby inhibit tipping of the lifting jack when in the raised position or otherwise dislodgement of the vehicle stored thereon

A device according to the invention for handling and transporting loads can be installed on a mobile or stationary facility. The device according to the invention is characterised in that the first guide profile has a hollow profile and the first guide profile has a drive element integrated at least partially inside the guide profile, wherein a tappet plate is operatively connected to the drive element and the guide of the tappet plate is also at least partially integrated and supported in the guide profile, wherein the drive element and the guide of the tappet plate are placed on one axis, wherein the first guide profile has a longitudinal slit through which a holder of the tappet plate protrudes, wherein a load handling element each can be operatively connected to a tappet plate.

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.

The invention relates to an automated transfer assembly for transferring goods, having a frame, having a repositioning installation which for repositioning the frame is disposed on the frame, and having a gripping device which for gripping an item of goods is in connection with the frame. The gripping device comprises a first gripper arm installation for engaging on the item of goods to be gripped, and a second gripper arm installation for engaging on the item of goods to be gripped, said second gripper arm installation being spaced apart from the first gripper arm installation. The transfer assembly furthermore has a control unit for controlling automated gripping of the item of goods to be gripped by means of the gripping device.

A clamp assembly for a lift truck load handler that has a clamp leading edge that is raked back from bottom to top. The clamp leading edge is a blade edge, angled inward from the leading edge. The clamp assembly typically has a clamp plate with a front edge that forms at least part of the clamp leading edge. The clamp assembly typically has a toe plate that is harder and more wear-resistant than the clamp plate that wraps around a front edge of a lower portion of the clamp plate. The toe plate has a front edge that aligns with a front edge of the upper portion the clamp plate that together form the clamp leading edge.

A forklift reach mechanism (10) has a main support (16) connected between a carriage (14) and a set of forks (48). The carriage is moveable vertically on a mast (12). The main support is lifted by a connecting member (32) that depends from an articulated levelling assembly comprising a pair of arms (22, 24) connected pivotally together and connected at their other ends to the mast and carriage respectively. The levelling assembly causes the distal end of the main support, on which the forks are mounted, to travel horizontally towards or away from the mast as the carriage is raised or lowered. The reach mechanism is operated by an extensible actuating member (36) such as a hydraulic cylinder that acts between the carriage and the connecting member, providing a strong and compact reach mechanism.

A side-shift fork carriage for a material handling machine includes a frame; a first shuttle comprising a first fork attachment member for receiving a first fork; a first fork actuator operable to side-shift the first shuttle relative to the frame; a second shuttle comprising a second fork attachment member for receiving a second fork; and, a second fork actuator operable to side-shift the second shuttle relative to the frame, wherein the first and second fork actuators are operable in a first mode in which the position of the first and second shuttles are side-shifted to alter the lateral distance therebetween, and a second mode in which the first and second shuttles are shifted unidirectionally with the lateral distance therebetween remaining constant.

An loading equipment and a conveying system for tank track moving supports are provided, the loading equipment includes an circular conveyor line and a loading device; the circular conveyor line includes a support frame, a baseplate is connected with the support frame, an circular guide rail is connected with the baseplate, trays are connected above the circular guide rail, fixture assemblies are connected with the trays, an circular driving part is connected with the trays; tracking cars are fixedly connected with the trays and slidably connected with the circular guide rail; the circular driving part is fixedly connected with the tracking cars. Seamless involvement of moving support from the blank transmission to the processing output process is achieved, the processing efficiency is improved, and the position of the moving support in the transportation process is definite.

The application relates to a carrying robot including a fork. The fork includes a telescopic arm and a temporary storage tray. The telescopic arm includes a fixed arm and a movable arm connected to the fixed arm. The movable arm is telescopically movable relative to the fixed arm. The temporary storage tray is mounted to the fixed arm and is configured to temporarily store goods. The temporary storage tray is able to extend relative to the fixed arm. An extending direction of the temporary storage tray is consistent with an extending direction of the movable arm. When the fork pulls in or pushes out the goods, containers can be stably transferred between a stationary rack and the temporary storage tray.
