Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 A right front isometric view of the exemplary pallet jack 10 with its lid removed is illustrated. The pallet jack 10 may be referred to as a "stand-off" type pallet jack. The pallet jack 10 includes a control handle 15 attached to a steering arm 17 that can be rotated to cause rotation of the drive wheels 20 to control the direction of travel of the pallet jack 10 . The pallet jack 10 is moved by a traction motor 25 which is energized by a battery 30 . A pair of forks 35 can be raised and lowered via hydraulic cylinders 40 . Electronic controller 45 communicates with the lift, lower, and traction actuators and effects activation of traction motor 25 and hydraulic cylinders 40 in response to commands received from the lift, lower, and traction actuators.

Abstract

The invention relates to automated load handling for an industrial vehicle. The load handling system for a vehicle includes a set of forks that concurrently supports two or more pallets including a first pallet and a second pallet linearly positioned along a length of the forks, and a lifting system to raise and lower the forks. A traction system moves the vehicle in a direction of travel associated with withdrawing the forks from the pallets. Additionally, an actuation device generates an activation signal in response to being actuated by an operator, and a vehicle controller places the vehicle in an automated mode of operation in response to receiving the activation signal. In the automated mode of operation, a front end of the forks moves from the second pallet to the first pallet, andthe first pallet is raised while the second pallet remains on a transport surface. The first pallet is then spaced apart from the second pallet by a predetermined distance and then lowered to the transport surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of industrial powered vehicles configured to transport goods and materials. Background technique [0002] Industrial vehicles are designed for a variety of purposes, duty cycles and applications. Under some operating conditions, industrial vehicles may be used to move materials infrequently, but only when needed, for example, in response to occasional incoming shipments. In other types of operating conditions, industrial vehicles may be used around the clock in multiple shifts, with significant downtime only occurring during routine or required maintenance. [0003] Operators of pallet jacks and other types of industrial vehicles may be offered multiple compensation incentives such that any feature that would simplify the operation of the truck or provide a productivity-increasing feature would benefit not only the operator, but the associated business benefit. [0004] The control handles that travel beh...
