Abstract: Disclosed is an aerial lift, including: a lower portion with members for ground connection; a lifting structure; a platform supported by the lifting structure; and a lighting system. The aerial lift includes a control console on the platform, whose position is variable relative to the ground connection members. The lighting devices are arranged on the lower portion of the aerial lift and/or on the lifting structure or the platform and selectively generate light beams directed towards the ground and the immediate environment of the aerial lift, including at least partially an area beyond the edge of the members for connecting to the ground. The light beams are directed towards four sides, consisting of two opposing pairs of sides, of the aerial lift regardless of the position of the control console relative to the members for connecting to the ground. Also disclosed is a method for implementing such an aerial lift.

Abstract: The aerial lift includes a chassis equipped with elements for moving over the ground surface, a mast, a platform (10) supported by the mast, a control console mounted on the platform and including elements for controlling movements of the platform, and a safety bar mounted so as to tilt or slide relative to the console, designed to control the operation of the control elements. This safety bar is intended to assume a first, idle position where the safety bar does not prevent the operation of the control elements, and a second position, wherein the safety bar inhibits the operation of the control elements. When it tilts or slides between the first position and the second position, the safety bar assumes an intermediate position where it does not prevent the operation of the control elements and wherein it activates warning elements.

Abstract: An order picker for preparing orders that includes a motor-driven mobile chassis, a platform, an elevator for elevating the platform relative to the chassis, a load support tray for supporting loads, and a safety guardrail around the periphery of the platform. The tray is secured to a movable portion of the guardrail that moves in translation along a longitudinal axis of the order picker between a first position, in which the movable portion extends to a first greater distance from a front edge of a deck of the platform, and a second position, at a second lesser distance from the front edge and wherein the tray is movable between a first position extending horizontally above the deck when the moving portion is in the first position thereof and a second position, in which the tray is folded into a substantially vertical position when the moving portion is in the second position thereof.

Abstract: An elevating platform including a chassis having a motor drive unit, a platform, elevator for elevating the platform relative to the chassis, sensors for delivering signals representative of a configuration of the elevating platform or its environment, a control unit for controlling the elevator means as a function of a plurality of parameters, including parameters corresponding to the signals delivered by the sensors, and a selector for selecting at least one priority parameter and a threshold value for the parameter whereby the control unit determines operating conditions for the elevating platform under which the threshold value for the priority parameter can be reached, and for controlling at least the elevator within a limit of the operating conditions.

Abstract: An aerial lift comprises a chassis equipped with movement means for moving on the surface of the ground, a platform, means for elevating the platform relative to the chassis, and a cell for measuring the weight of the load supported by the platform, said cell having a body supporting at least one sensor and extending along a longitudinal axis. A geometric enclosure surface of the body, around the longitudinal axis, converges toward that axis, and the force measuring cell is embedded, along an embedding axis, in a housing defined by a surface with a shape complementary to the geometric enclosure surface, provided in a support structure of the platform.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a half axle articulated on a structural element of a vehicle, comprising a wheel rotatably movable around an axis of rotation relative to a shaft the structural element defining a reference plane substantially parallel to the ground when the wheel rests on the ground, also comprising a pivot system for pivoting relative to the structural element around a pivot axis the half axle also comprises an actuating system including means for translating the wheel along a hoisting axis permanently tilted by an incline angle comprised between 60 degrees and 90 degrees, relative to the reference plane. The invention also relates to a vehicle, equipped with a chassis comprising at least one structural element also equipped with at least one half.

Abstract: This order picker (2) for preparing orders comprises a motor-driven mobile chassis (4), a platform, elevator means (10) for elevating the platform relative to the chassis (4), a load support tray (200) for supporting loads in the vicinity of the platform, and a safety guardrail around the periphery of the platform. The tray (200) is secured to a portion (150, 160) of the guardrail that is movable in translation, along a longitudinal axis (X-X?) of the order picker (2), between a first position, in which the moving portion (150, 160) extends to a first distance (d1) from a front edge (124) of the deck of the platform, and a second position, in which the moving portion (150, 160) extends to a second distance from the front edge (124). The first distance (d1) is strictly greater than the second distance. The tray (200) is movable between a first position, in which it extends horizontally above the deck of the platform, and a second position, in which it is folded away in a substantially vertical position.
