  • Patent number: 11258275
    Abstract: An industrial truck including a battery and a battery management system connected to the battery and powered by the battery. The battery includes a plurality of battery stacks each having battery cells connected in series with each other, characterized by a control unit adapted to selectively connect one or more of the battery stacks to the battery management system or to disconnect it from the battery management system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8239098
    Abstract: Industrial truck, in particular a lift truck, with a drive axle with drive wheels and a drive motor, a steering axle with two steerable wheels, a target value sensor that is connected to a steering wheel, a steering motor, a steering device which is in effective connection with a steering tie rod, a position transducer magnet whose position is recorded by two magnetic resonance sensors that are arranged in parallel, where the position transducer magnet and the resonance sensors are moved relative to each other during a steering movement of the steering device, and where the magnetic resonance sensors generate counter directional analog signals for the actual value of the steering angle of the steerable wheels, a steering control, connected to the target value sensor, the steering motor, and the magnetic resonance sensors, which evaluates the signals received from the target value sensor and the magnetic resonance sensors, and controls the vehicle steering angle to the target steering angle, where the signals

  • Patent number: 7784880
    Abstract: A braking system for a floor conveyor, which features at least one travel motor for at least one driven wheel, an electric steering control for at least one steered wheel, a service brake with a braking transmitter generating a braking signal and an electromagnetically releasable spring brake as an emergency stop brake, which is amongst others actuable when an error signal is generated in the steering control or a braking signal otherwise, which further features a superordinated vehicle control for various functions of the floor conveyor and a battery for supplying the individual electric consumers, wherein the steering control actuates a first switch at an error signal, which cuts off the electric connection between the battery and the emergency stop brake, wherein an additional switch is connected in series with the first switch and is actuable by a PWM actuator of the vehicle control, and a control line is connected between the steering control and the vehicle control, such that both switches are switched
