摘要： A hitch configured to selectively latch to a tow bar is provided. The hitch includes a housing, a frame defining a receiving cavity, a moveable arm, an actuator configured to move the arm between an unlatched position and a latched position, and a contact sensor mounted within the housing on a slotted mounting plate. The arm is configured to engage the tow bar when in the latched position. The slotted mounting plate is configured to enable a position of the contact sensor to be adjusted based on a geometry of the tow bar. The actuator is activated by the contact sensor sensing the presence of the tow bar within the receiving cavity.

摘要： A charging device for charging a battery of a material handling vehicle includes a stand having a stationary portion, a moveable portion that moves relative to the stationary portion, and one or more actuators to move the moveable portion. A charging plate and a sensing array can be supported on the moveable portion. The sensing array detects a position of the charging plate relative to a collector plate of the material handling vehicle. The sensing array includes a first sensor to detect a first position of the charging plate along a first direction and a second sensor to detect a first position of the charging plate along a second direction. Based on signal from the sensing array, a position controller operates the one or more actuators to move the moveable portion to align the charging plate with the collector plate for charging.
