Abstract:
A plurality of control elements (90A-90D) extend from the base portion of a control module (26) in a materials handling vehicle. The control elements are located adjacent to one another, wherein at least one of the control elements includes mounting structure that permits the control element to be selectively mounted to the base portion in at least first and second positions. The first position defines a first distance (D1) between the control element and an immediately adjacent control element and the second position defines a second distance (D2) between the control element and the immediately adjacent control element, the second distance (D2) being greater than the first (D1).
Abstract:
The pneumatic-mechanical lifting device according to this technical design comprises a main frame which is fitted with at least one wheel to ensure the horizontal movement. The main frame is firmly connected with handles and with a brake controller of the pneumatic damper which ensures the vertical movement of a movable lifting batten to the required height in the upward direction. The pneumatic-mechanical lifting device according to this technical design comprises a movable frame which is connected to the main frame by means of the pneumatic damper fitted with a brake to lock the required height of the movable frame. The movable frame contains a foot-operated controller of the piston of the damper which ensures the vertical movement of the lifting batten whose part is a loading area on which the transported object is placed. The movable batten is connected with the pneumatic damper which is connected with the main frame.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a truck mounted forklift for mounting on the rear of a carrying vehicle, the truck mounted forklift having a lifting assembly mounted on the chassis, the lifting assembly comprising a linkage, the linkage comprising: an elongate first link connected at its proximal end to the chassis by a pivot joint; an elongate second link connected at its proximal end to the distal end of the first link by a pivot joint; a fork carriage connected to the distal end of the second link by a pivot joint; a plurality of link cylinders for actuating the links; and a tilt cylinder for actuating the fork carriage. By having such a truck mounted forklift, top far side loads will be accessible without the lifting assembly coming into contact with the roof of the carrying vehicle or with bottom near side loads. Additionally, the front wheels of the truck mounted forklift will not need to be positioned under the carrying vehicle to reach top far side loads. This will minimise the time needed to load and unload carrying vehicles.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un système de modification du rapport de direction pour un véhicule à bras (6) télescopique inclinable, le véhicule comprenant des roues directrices (11), un volant de direction et un dispositif de transmission de direction permettant de transmettre le mouvement de direction entre le volant et les roues directrices (11) selon un rapport de direction R = Alpha / Beta, avec Beta l'angle de braquage des roues, et Alpha l'angle de braquage du volant. Le système comprend un capteur configuré pour déterminer un paramètre relatif au bras télescopique, par exemple un capteur de l'angle (Af) formé par le bras télescopique avec le plan d'appui au sol des roues du véhicule, et/ou un capteur de la longueur (L6) du bras télescopique, et un module de commande du rapport de direction configuré pour modifier le rapport de direction R en fonction dudit paramètre relatif au bras télescopique. L'invention concerne également un véhicule roulant équipé d'un tel système de modification du rapport de direction.
Abstract:
A processing device having a graphical user interface includes a housing having a touch screen display that receives touch gesture commands from a vehicle operator. Still further, a set of controls is arranged on a front face of the housing. The set of controls include hardware control equivalents to the gesture commands recognized by the touch screen of the display. This allows industrial vehicle operators to wear gloves or other attire fitting for the task at hand, without undue interference interacting with the graphical user interface. Also, redundant control, e.g., via gesture commands recognized by the touch screen of the display and corresponding controls in the user control section, allow the vehicle operator to use which ever data input option is most convenient for speed, convenience, workflow, etc.
Abstract:
Un procédé d'activation d'un chariot de manutention 1 à timon orientable de direction 11, muni d'une poignée de commande à boutons multiples 10 est caractérisé par une utilisation de la position du timon orientable et par des appuis multiples sur au moins un organe fonctionnel de la poignée de commande pour entrer un code d'activation pouvant définir, soit une autorisation de conduite, soit une autorisation d'enregistrement d'autres codes d'activation ou de paramètres relatifs aux autorisations de conduite du chariot de manutention.
Abstract:
A lift truck 10 includes a frame 12, a pair of laterally spaced apart outriggers 24 extending from the frame, and a load handling assembly 26 secured to the frame adjacent to the outriggers. The load handling assembly includes a mast assembly 28 positioned between the outriggers and a carriage assembly 30 including fork structure 40 for supporting a load on the load handling assembly. The carriage assembly is movable vertically along the mast assembly and laterally with respect to the mast assembly. Optical sensor structure 60 of the truck monitors for conditions wherein movement of the carriage assembly would result in contact between the load and the outrigger(s). A vehicle controller receives a signal from the optical sensor structure and prevents movement of the carriage assembly toward the outrigger(s) if the signal from the optical sensor structure indicates that such movement would result in contact between the load and the outrigger(s).
