Abstract: A lift arrangement of a lift truck, especially a forklift truck, has a lift mast defining a z-axis. The lift mast includes a first mast section and a second mast section. Damping elements made from elastic material are provided on the first mast section and/or the second mast section preventing a hard impact of the second mast section with the first mast section at the run-in end position of the second mast section. The damping elements are configured and arranged in such a manner that, in addition to damping the movement of the second mast section in the direction of the z-axis, the damping elements damp movements of the second mast section in the directions of the x-axis and the y-axis running perpendicularly to the z-axis.
Abstract: A commercial vehicle comprises a functional arrangement comprising at least one drive motor for providing at least one working or operating function and a parameterisable electronic control arrangement configured to control the functional arrangement depending on a parameter dataset stored in the control arrangement. A data memory is provided, which is rigidly attached in the vehicle, separate from the control arrangement and in which at least one dataset relevant to the vehicle is stored or can be stored. The control arrangement is configured to read data of the dataset relevant to the vehicle from the data memory and/or to write data to the data memory for recording in the dataset relevant to the vehicle or to update the dataset relevant to the vehicle.

Abstract: An industrial truck has a lift mast, which has a height-adjustable load support and an overhead guard that is disposed on a side of the lift mast facing away from the load support. The guard protects the operator against falling loads and objects. The lift mast on the side thereof facing away from the load support has an adapter for the overhead guard that has two adapter limbs disposed in parallel to each other and connected to the lift mast. The overhead guard has two projecting connection limbs each of which lies flat on one of the adapter limbs and is connected thereto.

A central web is arranged in the receiving space. The frame has connection means in each case for drawbar and coupling, and the frame has connection means for the central web for the releasable connection of the frame and connection means.
Abstract: A trailer for a tugger train having a frame, which has a lifting apparatus with a lift platform. An inner wagon to be transported rests in a raised state on the lift platform. The lifting apparatus has a pull/push rod and at least one triangular lever. Each triangular lever is mounted pivotably with a first end on the frame, a second end on the lift platform and a third end on the pull/push rod, wherein the lift platform can be adjusted in height using the triangular lever(s), with which the lift platform performs an arc-shaped pivot movement, and with a lowering movement is lowered to such an extent that the inner wagon is released from the lift platform and is pushed out of the frame, transverse to the lowering direction, by a predetermined path.
Abstract: An industrial truck with an interchangeable battery block and a battery compartment receiving the battery block, wherein the battery compartment has a floor with roller receivers, each of which can mount a roller module, wherein the roller receivers each have a central cut-out and two opposite-lying bearing sections for the roller module, wherein each of the bearing sections has a trough-shaped half shell, the base of which borders the central cut-out between the bearing sections.
Abstract: A method for determining or estimating a load weight of a load (28) carried by a commercial vehicle, in particular by an industrial truck such as a forklift truck (10), comprises: a) determining a speed ratio between a first speed of at least one first wheel (12) loaded by a load carried in a load carrier (18) of the vehicle and a second speed of at least one second wheel (14) of the operating vehicle (10) which has received the load in the load carrier, which second wheel is less heavily loaded or not loaded by a load carried in the load carrier or is relieved by a load carried in the load carrier; b) determining or estimating the load weight of the carried load (28) on the basis of the determined speed ratio and predetermined reference data. A commercial vehicle (10) comprising a control system (22) carrying out a method of this kind is also provided.
Abstract: The order picker (1) comprising a vehicle (2, 25, 30); a robot device (3) on the vehicle (2, 25, 30), which is configured to manipulate objects within a working range (R_R); a pick-up device (4) on the vehicle for picking up a selection pallet (21) within the working range (R_R); a carrying device (5) on the vehicle for carrying an order pallet (16) within the working range (R_R); and a control unit, which is configured to activate the robot device (3) to convey load units (59) from a selection pallet (21) positioned in the working range (R_R) onto an order pallet (16) carried in the working range (R_R). The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding method for order picking an order pallet (16) comprising load units (59) from a goods warehouse having selection pallets (20) arranged in rows and/or racks (23) using a vehicle (2, 25, 30) and a robot device (3) arranged thereon having a working range (R_R).

Abstract: A lift cylinder comprises a deflection roller device for an industrial truck. The deflection roller device includes a roller support, a lifting chain deflection roller having a roller axle and a roller body rotatably carried on the roller axle, and a first additional deflection roller arranged axially adjacent to the lifting chain deflection roller. The roller axle includes a cylindrical bearing portion and fastening ends projecting axially outwards on either side of the cylindrical bearing portion and fastened to the roller support. The first additional deflection roller is supported on a first additional-deflection roller support such that the axis of rotation of the first additional deflection roller is offset relative to the axis of rotation of the lifting chain deflection roller, and the axis of rotation of the first additional deflection roller extends through the roller body of the lifting chain deflection roller.
Abstract: A method for detecting objects in a warehouse and/or for spatial orientation in a warehouse includes: acquiring image data with a 3-D camera which is fastened to an industrial truck so that a viewing direction of the 3-D camera has a defined horizontal angle, wherein the 3-D camera has an image sensor with sensor elements arranged matrix-like and the image data comprises a plurality of pixels, wherein distance information is assigned to each pixel, calculating angle information for a plurality of image elements, which each specify an angle between a surface represented by the image element and a vertical reference plane, determining a predominant direction based on the frequency of the calculated angle information, calculating the positions of the of the acquired pixels along the predominant direction, detecting at least one main plane of the warehouse based on a frequency distribution of the calculated positions.
Abstract: An industrial truck has a drive part and a load part. The drive part has at least one steerable drive wheel and at least one supporting wheel. The drive part has a full-floating axle which has two arms which are in each case mounted in a rotational joint and of which one bears the supporting wheel and one bears the drive wheel. Each arm is coupled to the drive part via a spring damping element.
Abstract: A lift frame has a lift mast along which a lift carriage is arranged so as to be movable in elevation. At least one hydraulic line progresses along the lift mast and a tensioning device is provided for the hydraulic line.
