    Abstract: The invention relates to a modular sliding fork for a fork-lift truck or pallet truck, a fork-lift truck or pallet truck provided therewith and a method therefor. The modular sliding fork includes a sliding part configured to be adjusted in length direction relative to a fork part of a fork of a fork-lift truck or pallet truck, a drive system for sliding the modular sliding fork relative to the fork part for the purpose of extending and/or shortening the fork; and a locking mechanism for locking the modular sliding fork relative to the fork part at a desired position. The drive system utilizes a movement of the fork-lift truck or pallet truck for the purpose of sliding the modular sliding fork.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of lift trucks, and in particular, to an energy control method and system of a lift truck. The method includes the following steps: step 1, putting the lift truck in a working state, and downwards closing a work platform at a high place, wherein hydraulic oil in an upper lifting oil cylinder and hydraulic oil in a lower lifting oil cylinder start to flow back into a oil tank; step 2, driving a hydraulic element to rotate anticlockwise in the back flowing process of the hydraulic oil, wherein the anticlockwise rotation of the hydraulic element drives a motor to rotate anticlockwise to generate a reverse electromotive force, and the reverse electromotive force is rectified to output a direct current for energy recycling.

    Abstract: A safety control unit for controlling a lifting arm of a lifting arm machine is provided. The safety control unit comprises a safety control unit housing, a sensor input, a first processor and a second processor. The sensor input is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a toppling moment of the lifting arm about the lifting arm machine and a second signal indicative of the toppling moment of the lifting arm about the lifting arm machine, wherein the first and second signals are independent of each other. The first processor is provided within the safety control unit housing and configured: to receive the first signal, to determine a first toppling moment based on the first signal, and to output the first toppling moment. The second processor is independent of the first processor and provided within the safety control unit housing. The second processor is configured: to receive the second signal, to determine a second toppling moment based on the second signal, to receive the first toppling moment from the first processor, and to cross-check that first toppling moment and the second toppling moment are within a predetermined range of each other. Further, the safety control unit is configured: to determine whether the first toppling moment and the second toppling moment exceed a predetermined threshold, and to output a toppling safety command signal if the safety control unit determines the predetermined threshold or the predetermined range is exceeded. A display unit and a lifting arm safety system, each comprising the safety control unit is also provided.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a payload lifting device capable of stably lifting a payload using one lift-driving unit. In the payload lifting device including a lift-driving portion configured to vertically lift a payload, the lift-driving portion includes lift-driving units configured to generate a driving force for vertically lifting the payload, a first power transmission portion including first power transmission members which vary in vertical positions and apply a vertically lifting force to one side of a bottom of the payload when a first rotational shaft rotated by the driving force of the lift-driving units rotates, and a second power transmission portion including second power transmission members which vary in vertical positions and apply a vertical lifting force to the other side of the bottom of the payload when a second rotational shaft rotated by the driving force of the lift-driving units rotates.

    Abstract: There is huge demand for automation in manufacturing, logistics, postal, distribution centers, ecommerce, retail. Typical scissor lift designs can carry large payload but are larger in size. There is a need for a compact fork with more payload carrying capacity. The dual side actuated scissor fork type lift unit is provided. The dual side actuated scissor fork type lift unit includes a top plate, a bottom plate, one or more linear motion (LM) blocks mounted on one or more linear guides, one or more mounting blocks mounted on the one or more LM blocks, and slot on a first end of at least one actuation link is connected to the bottom plate through a pin. The one or more LM blocks is free to slide on the one or more linear guides. The one or more mounting blocks moves along with a motion of the one or more LM blocks.
