An automated storage and retrieval system comprising an automated storage and retrieval grid and a delivery system. The automated storage and retrieval grid includes a container handling vehicle rail system for guiding a plurality of container handling vehicles and a delivery column adapted for transport of a storage container arranged in a stack of storage containers beneath the container handling vehicle rail system between a container handling vehicle and a delivery port situated at a lower end of the delivery column. The container handling vehicle rail system includes a first set of parallel rails arranged in a horizontal plane and extending in a first direction, and a second set of parallel rails arranged in the horizontal plane and extending in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction, which first and second sets of rails form a grid pattern in the horizontal plane including a plurality of adjacent container handling vehicle grid cells. Each container handling vehicle grid cell includes a container handling vehicle grid opening defined by a pair of neighboring rails of the first set of rails and a pair of neighboring rails of the second set of rails. The delivery system includes a remotely operated delivery vehicle including a container carrier adapted to support the storage container. The delivery vehicle is further adapted to transport the storage container between the delivery port and a second location for handling of the storage container by at least one of a robotic operator and a human operator.
摘要:
The present invention is a detection system for the front of a vehicle with front lift arms for lifting and lowering a bin where one or more sensors are used to detect the presence of an object or person and control means to receive and process sensor input to control the operation of the lifting arms. When the presence of the object or person is detected, the movement of the lifting arms are stopped and or an alarm is sounded.

The present invention teaches an apparatus and method used in connection with a forklift truck for quickly and easily nesting and un-nesting bulk seed boxes. A box inverter apparatus includes first and second rotary clamp pads, each clamp pad having a box engaging surface and an opposing rear surface. The first and second rotary clamp pads are positioned such that the box engaging surfaces thereof face one another in a spaced apart relationship. First and second spindle and bearing assemblies are associated with and extend radially outwardly from the opposing rear surfaces of the first and second rotary clamp pads, respectively. Each of the spindle and bearing assemblies has a first end attached to the rear surface of the rotary clamp pad and a second end attached to a frame such that each spindle and bearing assembly permits rotation of the rotary clamp pad relative to the frame. Means for adjusting the distance between the spaced apart facing box engaging surfaces of the first and second rotary clamp pad assemblies are provided. Positioning means for determining and selecting an optimal positioning of the pair of bulk seed boxes in between the opposing box engaging surfaces of the first and second rotary clamp pads are provided. Means for actuating the adjusting means to affect engagement of the box engaging surfaces with opposing sides of one of the pair of bulk seed boxes are also provided.

A rotary dumpster maneuvers a receptacle via a rotary fork lift assembly that includes a pair of forks. The rotary dumpster includes a base, a first sidewall, and first and second fork tubes. The base is constructed and arranged to support the receptacle when in an upright position. The first sidewall projects upward from the base when in the upright position. The first and second fork tubes are engaged to the first sidewall, and are constructed and arranged to respectively receive the pair of forks for generally moving the rotary dumpster between the upright position and a dumping position. The second fork tube is spaced above the first fork tube when in the upright position.
摘要:
A cantilevered dumping system comprising a dumping mechanism that is adapted to be repositioned (e.g., reversed) relative to a base structure such that there may be multiple modes of operation of the dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.). An exemplary embodiment of a dumping system may allow for the connections of a dumping mechanism to a base structure to be changed (e.g., reversed) such that the operation of the dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.) is different. Another embodiment of a dumping system may include a base structure that includes multiple guide plates and/or guide rails to facilitate the desired modes of operation of a dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.).
摘要:
A pallet jack has a forked platform with rollers embedded in the arms of the fork. The rollers are located at intervals from the front of the arms to the rear. The rollers work in conjunction with an inclined ramp, also having embedded rollers, attached to the front of the arms to lift a container onto the forks. Once a container is aligned in front of the inclined ramp, the pallet jack is driven forward. The momentum of the pallet jack, at standard speed, causes the inclined ramp to insert underneath the container and lifts the container onto the arms. The rollers allow the container to move into position on the pallet jack for transfer. An overlay platform may cover the host forks for standard pallet transfer. The overlay platform may have embedded rollers and can be rotated into position over a standard fork.

A cart for moving items includes a base, wheels coupled to the base, and one or more rollers coupled on an upper surface of the base. The base includes one or more loading areas for loading items to be moved onto the base, and one or more unloading areas for unloading items from the base. The rollers coupled on one or more upper surfaces of the base in the loading areas may support items as the items are loaded onto the base.
摘要:
A universal load-handling device to be used with an industrial truck comprising a longitudinal support fixable in a transverse direction to a lifting carrier in a transversally displaceable manner by a longitudinal-support drive; a plurality of prongs and a plurality of linear conveyors respectively assigned to the prongs, wherein the linear conveyors protrude vertically over the prongs, in order to carry the loading goods on the linear conveyors and to move the loading goods in the transverse direction relative to the prongs; and wherein the prongs are supported on the longitudinal support by a width-adjustment drive so that they are displaceable longitudinally.
摘要:
A roller load support, for mounting on a load carrying vehicle such as a lift truck, has an elongate frame with a forwardly tapering vertical thickness and an upper surface for insertion beneath the underside of a load. Different longitudinally spaced pluralities of transverse upper rollers are movable upwardly to protrude through the frame's upper surface to engage the underside of the load during the insertion process. During the insertion process, the upper rollers are pushed upward by corresponding different pluralities of transverse lower rollers which rotatably engage the floor or other surface beneath the frame and frictionally counter-rotate the upper rollers. The lower rollers are spaced nonuniformly relative to each other along the length of the frame, with such spacings increasing progressively in size, within each plurality of lower rollers, in a forward direction toward the front end of the frame. Conversely, each such plurality of lower rollers has sequentially corresponding nonuniform spacings which decrease progressively in size, from plurality to plurality, in the forward direction.
