A load handling system for a vehicle includes a set of forks that concurrently supports two or more pallets including a first pallet and a second pallet linearly positioned along a length of the forks, and a lifting system to raise and lower the forks. A traction system moves the vehicle in a direction of travel associated with withdrawing the forks from the pallets. Additionally, an actuation device generates an activation signal in response to being actuated by an operator, and a vehicle controller places the vehicle in an automated mode of operation in response to receiving the activation signal. In the automated mode of operation, a front end of the forks moves from the second pallet to the first pallet, and the first pallet is raised while the second pallet remains on a transport surface. The first pallet is then spaced apart from the second pallet by a predetermined distance and then lowered to the transport surface.

A system for a pallet truck load wheel mechanism comprises a logic device and first and second sensor arrangements. The first and second sensor arrangements include first and second sensing fields that define first and second edges of an operability window, respectively. The logic device has an operable state indicating that the load wheel mechanism can raise a pallet lifting device and an inoperable state indicating that the load wheel mechanism should not raise the pallet lifting device. The logic device is initialized in the operable state and is configured to change to the inoperable state in response to each time the first sensor arrangement detects an edge of a board intersecting, the first edge of the operability window and to change to the operable state in response to each time the second sensor arrangement detects an edge of a board intersecting the second edge of the operability window.

A handle joint base including a joint fixing base and a microswitch detachably connected thereto, wherein a trigger component is provided in the joint fixing base, and a trigger part of the trigger component is movable relative to the joint fixing base. The microswitch includes a contact for triggering the microswitch to be turned on or off. Part of the surface of the contact is exposed outside a housing of the microswitch and is arc-shaped. An outer wall surface of a first end of the trigger part is wedge-shaped. When the trigger part is pressed downward, the wedged-shaped outer wall surface abuts and presses the arc-shaped surface of the contact, driving the contact to move into the housing to trigger the microswitch to be turned on or off. Also disclosed is a carrier vehicle in a configuration of a pallet truck having the foregoing handle joint base.

A pallet and a transport device for the pallet. The pallet, includes a frame having a-side parts and a rod that extends between the side parts. A span of the rod is at least half of the length of the rod. The pallet includes foot arrangements having parts configured to guide the pallet onto a bed of the transport device. The transport device includes the bed, a chassis and articulations enabling rotation of the bed relative to the chassis. The bed includes side beams that are configured to engage with the parts of the foot arrangements thereby guiding the pallet onto the bed. A system includes the pallet and the transport device.

The present disclosure provides a conveyance system and the like capable of preferably conveying a conveyed object in accordance with a state of the conveyed object. The conveyance system includes a conveyance robot, a drive controller, which is a controller, an image data acquisition unit, and a setting unit. The conveyance robot conveys the conveyed object. The drive controller controls an operation of the conveyance robot. The image data acquisition unit acquires image data obtained by capturing images of the conveyed object. The setting unit sets an operation parameter of the conveyance robot in the drive controller based on the acquired image data.

An electronic cart with an electronic cart body including one or more internal compartments. The cart includes one or more wheels and/or a track assembly supporting the electronic cart body. One or more batteries are carried by the electronic cart body. The cart has a drive system to drive the one or more wheels and/or the track assembly, which is powered, at least in part, by the one or more batteries. One or more hand-operated cart controls are provided on the cart to adjust at least a speed with which the drive system drives the one or more wheels and/or the track assembly.

A lifter device includes: a pole; a lifting member configured to be guided by the pole; a motor configured to generate power used for ascending and descending of the lifting member; a transmission mechanism configured to transmit the power of the motor to the lifting member; and a preventing member configured to prevent the descending of the lifting member when the power is not transmitted.

A lifter device includes a pole, a lifting member guided by the pole, a motor that generates power used for ascending and descending of the lifting member, a controller that controls the motor, a case that is fixed to at least a portion of the pole and accommodates the motor and the controller, a transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the motor to the lifting member, and a battery mounting portion that is provided on the case and to which a battery pack is mouted to supply power to the motor.

A pallet truck includes a drive frame on which a drive wheel support is pivotably supported, a load frame, which is liftable with respect to the drive frame in a lifting direction, and a hydraulic lift module, which interconnects the drive frame and the load frame. The hydraulic lift module includes a hydraulic lift cylinder, which includes a cylinder barrel and a piston rod, wherein the cylinder barrel includes a cap end at one end portion of the cylinder barrel and a rod end at the other end portion of the cylinder barrel, wherein the piston rod extends outwards from the cylinder barrel at the rod end of the cylinder barrel and wherein a free end of the piston rod is accommodated in the drive frame. In the lifting direction, the cap end of the cylinder barrel is arranged above the rod end of the cylinder barrel.

An industrial truck including a drive frame, a load frame liftable with respect to the drive frame, a drive frame cover at least partly covering the drive frame, and a load frame cover at least partly covering the load frame. The drive frame cover includes a curved portion overlapping a load frame cover. The curved portion includes a curvature aligned with a curved movement path of the load frame cover with respect to the drive frame cover. A cover system including a first cover provided for at least partly covering a first part of an industrial truck, and a second cover provided for at least partly covering a second part of the industrial truck and movable with respect to the first part. The first cover includes a curved portion overlapping the second cover. The curved portion includes a curvature aligned with a curved movement path of the second cover.
