A material handling system, associated with the delivery of one or more payloads, may include a material handling vehicle configured to haul a payload from a first location to a second location. The material handling vehicle may include a sensor to obtain information associated with a payload, of the one or more payloads, and a vehicle device configured to receive a signal from the sensor to obtain information associated with the payload and to communicate with a server device, via a network, to send the information associated with the payload and to send and/or receive information associated with a material handling project. The material handling vehicle may further include a vehicle identifier to uniquely identify the material handling vehicle.

A first processor determines a loaded state of a bucket, makes a determination that a traveling apparatus has performed an operation for shifting from a rearward movement state to a state (forward movement or stop) other than the rearward movement state in the loaded state, and calculates a load weight of the bucket from a detection value of a work implement sensor (first hydraulic pressure detectors and a first angle detector) based on the determination.

The present disclosure describes a lift truck attachment system that includes a lift truck carriage with an upper carriage support and a lower carriage support secured between two support brackets. The lift truck carriage is dimensioned to fit at least partially between opposing masts of a lift truck, such that the upper and lower carriage supports do not extend substantially beyond a forward surface of the mast. A device assembly, is mounted to the lift truck carriage, the device assembly including a base portion removably secured to the upper and/or lower carriage supports via one or more attachments. The device assembly can include a carriage scale removably secured to the base portion, the carriage scale configured to support load handling fixtures, such as a lift fork. In some examples, a single carriage support is used.

A load in a bucket is weighed accurately in a short time period. A work machine includes a bucket and a controller. The controller determines a period in which a parameter related to a load weight in the bucket fluctuates with respect to time. The controller averages load weights at a plurality of time points within the period to calculate an average load weight.

A load in a bucket is accurately weighed. A work machine includes a work implement, an input receiving unit, and a controller. The work implement includes a bucket. The input receiving unit receives a weighing start input for starting to weigh the load in the bucket. When the input receiving unit receives the weighing start input, the controller determines whether an automatic weighing start condition is satisfied or not. The automatic weighing start condition includes a condition that the work implement is not performing an excavation work. When the automatic weighing start condition is satisfied, the controller controls an operation of the work implement to weigh the load in the bucket.

A configurable-width industrial weighing scale configured to hang directly from one of multiple engine-powered lifting machines and/or to couple to a quick-attach plate or other attachment means of an engine-powered lifting machine and configured to directly support a lifting element and/or couple to a quick-attach plate or other attachment means of a lifting element. A weighing element includes front and rear plates in parallel with one another and a weighing assembly therebetween. The weighing assembly may include a strain gauge-based load cell, a shock absorber, a mechanical preload adjustment to control a vertical difference between the front and rear plates, a mechanical linearity control to adjust an angle of the weighing assembly, a carriage alignment bolt to compensate for an uneven surface of a lifting carriage of the engine-powered lifting machine, and/or a mechanical adjustment to compensate for a distance between the front plate and a load.

A relative position calculator calculates relative position and attitude of a vehicle based on images captured by an image capturing apparatus on the vehicle. An absolute position calculator extracts a marker from a captured image by, and calculates absolute position and attitude of the vehicle based on position and attitude of the one extracted marker. A reliability calculator calculates reliabilities of the relative position and attitude, and reliabilities of the absolute position and attitude. A position and attitude determiner determines the relative position and attitude as position and attitude of the vehicle when the reliabilities of the relative position and attitude are equal to or larger than the reliabilities of the absolute position and attitude, and otherwise, determines the absolute position and attitude as the position and attitude of the vehicle.

The present disclosure relates to an agricultural monitoring system and method for monitoring a nutrient flow within an agricultural site. The method comprises the steps of detecting a quantity related to a carried material of a known material type; determining a nutrient content of the captured material based on the detected quantity and based on at least one nutrient content parameter value associated with the carried material; obtaining information related to a source location and a target location for the carried material, and forming information related to the nutrient flow, said information comprising the source location, the target location, information related to the determined nutrient content of the carried material and preferably material type of the carried material.

A telescoping weigh fork unit where a base fork has an integrated hydraulic cylinder and a slideable outer shoe on which are supported at least two load cells. Optionally the unit may include an outside telescopic fork shoe to which the load cells are mounted and which supports the outer shoe. Unit may further include a system to alert if distance or weight thresholds are exceeded or if a load cell is inoperable.

A device for moving a load comprises a mobile, in particular rolling chassis (10) from which a lifting device (20) extends with at least one lifting member (30). The lifting device is intended and configured to receive the load (5) thereon. The lifting member comprises a substantially L-shaped base (31) with a lying leg (311) and an upright leg (312) mutually connected by a bend (313). The lifting member further comprises a shoe (33) which extends over the base (31) with interposing of at least one weight sensor (32) of electronic weighing means. The shoe (33) is likewise substantially L-shaped with a lying leg (331) and an upright leg (332), wherein the upright leg (332) of the shoe (33) maintains an intermediate space in relation to the upright leg (312) of the base (31). A base unit (40) of the weighing means is received at least substantially wholly in the intermediate space between the two legs (31,33).
