A vehicle, cargo transfer device of the vehicle and a method of transferring a package between a vehicle to a delivery platform. A lift platform is extended from a floor of the vehicle via a support structure. The package is moved to the lift platform from one of the floor and the delivery platform. The lift platform is rotated via a turntable through a rotation angle. The support structure supports the turntable and the lift platform. The package is moved from the lift platform to the other of the floor and the delivery platform.

A cargo handling control unit of a forklift includes a traveling device including a traveling drive unit, forks loading cargos, and a cargo handling device having a lift cylinder. The cargo handling control unit includes at least a pair of one-dimensional laser distance sensors, each of which is configured to emit a one-dimensional laser beam and receives the laser beam reflected from an object, thereby detecting a distance between the object and the one-dimensional laser distance sensor, a picking start position determination unit determining a picking start position of the forks for the cargos, and a picking control unit being configured to control the traveling drive unit and the lift cylinder so as to load the cargos on the forks.

A device for transporting a transport item and for attaching to a lifting vehicle, in particular for attaching to the transport apparatus of a forklift truck, said vehicle in particular comprising a mast means and said device comprising: a longitudinal transport means, more particularly a fork means, for at least temporarily receiving the transport item, in particular two or more longitudinal transport means; a tilting means for longitudinally tilting the longitudinal transport means, more particularly fork means, in particular two or more longitudinal transport means; and at least one electromechanical actuator means, in particular for linear displacement, said actuator means acting on an attachment region of the longitudinal transport means, in particular multiple longitudinal transport means, in order to tilt said transport means.

An automated storage and retrieval system includes a storage array of storage locations for case units. An in-out case conveyor is capable of bi-directionally transporting case units to and from the storage array, and an in-out loaded pallet conveyor is capable of bi-directionally transporting loaded pallets towards and away from the storage array. A palletizer-depalletizer cell includes a bi-directional pallet transport system with more than one independently driven pallet transports, each with a different pallet holder independently movable relative to a cell frame. Placement of case units commissioning a pallet layer loading a pallet, and removal of case units decommissioning a pallet layer unloading another pallet are both effected at the common pallet layer interface at a predetermined level of the cell frame. The pallet transports independently index a first and a second of the different pallet holders, each independently holding the pallet loading at the common pallet layer interface.

The invention relates to an industrial truck comprising a vehicle body (6); a mast (8) that extends substantially vertically and is rigidly connected to the vehicle body (6) or hinged to the vehicle body (6), the mast (8) being associated with a load-carrying apparatus such that said apparatus can be moved upwards and downwards on said mast, which load-carrying apparatus comprises at least one load-receiving means for receiving a load that is to be transported; and an outrigger (9), the longitudinal axis (L) of which extends between a first fastening point (9a) on the vehicle body (6) and a second fastening point (9b) on the mast (8), the second fastening point (9b) being associated with a vertically upper side of the mast (8). In this case, the outrigger (9) is associated with an apparatus for reducing vibrations (9d) which is designed to reduce vibrations acting in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) of the outrigger (9).

A manipulator for transporting a load laterally with respect to a vehicle includes a support frame adapted for mounting on a vehicle. A movable guide is supported by the support frame for lateral translation with respect to the support frame. A carriage which is capable of supporting a load engaging attachment for supporting a load is supported by the guide for translation with respect to the guide in the lengthwise direction of the guide. The carriage can translate with respect to the guide in the lengthwise direction of the guide at the same time that the guide is translating laterally with respect to the support frame.

A lateral stability system for a telescopic handler (1), whose telescopic boom (11) is fitted with equipment (12) suitable for lateral translation of a load (10), comprising a processing unit which includes at least a first enabling module, configured to enable or inhibit movements of said boom (11), according to one or more safety parameters. The system comprises first sensing means for determining the position of the load (10) relative to a center plane (M) of said equipment (12), connected to the processing unit, wherein a first safety parameter is a function of a value of an imbalance signal produced by the first sensing means.

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).

The invention relates to an industrial truck, in particular a tri-lateral stacker, comprising a mast (8), a lateral push frame (34) that can move up and down on the mast (8), a lateral pusher (38) that is mounted on the lateral push frame (34) so as to be laterally movable transversely to the main direction of travel (G) of the industrial truck, so that said pusher has a degree of freedom of movement along the lateral push frame (34) that is oriented laterally, transversely to the main direction of travel (G) of the industrial truck, a load-supporting apparatus (36) that is arranged on the lateral pusher (38) and can move laterally, together with the lateral pusher (38), transversely to the main direction of travel (G) of the industrial truck using its degree of freedom of movement, a lateral push drive device (52) that can be controlled by a control device of the industrial truck for moving the lateral pusher (38) and the load-supporting apparatus (36) together along the lateral push frame (34), and comprising a device for reducing transverse vibrations, in particular vibrations having vibration components that are transverse to the main direction of travel (G) of the industrial track, wherein the industrial truck is characterised in that, in a vibration-damping operating mode, the lateral push drive device (52) can be operated as a component of the device for reducing vibrations, wherein, in the vibration-damping operating mode, said device allows the lateral pusher (38) to move relative to the lateral push frame (34) so as to reduce vibrations.
