    摘要: A bale loading apparatus has a base frame mounted to a loader vehicle operative to move the base frame up and down. Right and left fork frames are connected to right and left portions of the base frame by corresponding right and left linkages, and right and left fork pairs extend away from the loader end of the base frame. A right actuator is operative to pivot the right fork pair with respect to the base frame upward and outward to the right of a path of the loader vehicle from a lowered right position to a raised right position, and a left actuator is operative to pivot the left fork pair with respect to the base frame upward and outward to the left of the path of the loader vehicle from a lowered left position to a raised left position.

    摘要: An apparatus for stacking hay bales comprises a base frame securable to a motorized vehicle, a plurality of tines pivotally connected to the base frame extending to free distal ends, the tines defining locations therebetween spaced to correspond to a bale of hay and a push bar extending parallel to the base frame and movable between a retracted position proximate to the base frame to an extended position along the plurality of tines to push the hay bales from therebetween. In operation, the apparatus is used by passing at least two of a plurality of tines to each side of a hay bale, lifting the hay bale by a platform extending from a base of the plurality of tines and pushing the hay bales off the tines with the push bar.

    摘要: Embodiments are directed to an assistive robot system. The assistive robot system includes a lifting mechanism, a movable arm assembly coupled to the lifting mechanism, a container tilting arm assembly, a processing device communicatively coupled to the lifting mechanism and the movable arm assembly, and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device. The non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium causes the processing device to transmit a command to the lifting mechanism to cause the lifting mechanism to move the movable arm assembly such that the container tilting arm assembly makes contact with a container and transmits one or more signals to the movable arm assembly to cause the movable arm assembly to extend in a system longitudinal direction such that the container within the movable arm assembly is pivoted against the container tilting assembly to tilt the container within the movable arm assembly.

    摘要: An industrial truck includes: a chassis, a mast pivotally mounted on the chassis, a lifting element for lifting a load, the lifting element being mounted on the mast in a slidable manner along the mast; a plurality of actuating units including: a lifting actuator configured to move the lifting element along the mast, a tilting actuator configured to tilt the mast with respect to the chassis, a wheel drive system for driving wheels of the industrial truck; a plurality of sensors including: a load sensor for detecting the load on the lifting element, a tilt angle sensor for detecting the tilt angle of the mast with respect to the chassis, and a height sensor for detecting the height of the lifting element with respect to the mast, a control unit configured to control the plurality of actuating units based on information detected by the plurality of sensors for achieving stability of the industrial truck during operation, wherein the control unit is configured to generate one or more control values by using a mathematical model of the industrial truck to which information detected by the plurality of sensors are inputted, the control unit being configured to control the plurality of actuating units based on the one or more control values. The industrial truck further comprises a rear axle load sensor configured to detect the load on a rear axle of the industrial truck, wherein the control unit is configured to control the operation of the industrial truck also based on a rear axle load value detected by the rear axle load sensor.

    摘要: A hitch mounted forklift assembly includes a primary member that is insertable into a hitch receiver of a truck. A coupler is coupled to the primary member and the coupler is exposed when the primary member is positioned in the tow hitch. A lifting rail is provided that has a track gear integrated therein and a motor is coupled to the primary member. A drive gear is rotatably coupled to the motor and the drive gear engages the track gear in the lifting rail. The lifting rail is lifted upwardly or lowered downwardly by the drive gear when the motor rotates the drive gear. A cross member is coupled to the lifting rail and a plurality of tines is each from the cross member. The plurality of tines lifts and lowers a hay bale for transport.

    摘要: A control box and operator interface for an industrial vehicle includes a left thumb joystick controller, a right thumb joystick controller, and integrated handles positioned adjacent the left thumb joystick controller and the right thumb joystick controller, respectively. The integrated handles are ergonomically positioned relative to the left and right thumb joystick controllers such that when an operator grasps the handles, the operator's thumbs are naturally positioned adjacent the left and right thumb joystick controllers, respectively. An enabling mechanism is associated with each of the integrated handles and includes a switch that serves to activate operational functionality of the left and right thumb joystick controllers.
