Abstract: A method for monitoring the travel path of an industrial truck, comprising the steps of: determining a braking distance of the industrial truck on the basis of at least one operating parameter of the industrial truck, adjusting a travel path area monitored by a monitoring device on the basis of the determined braking distance by adjusting the alignment of the monitoring device, decelerating the industrial truck when an obstacle enters the travel path.

Abstract: An industrial truck comprises at least one electrically powered drive and an electrical energy storage device. The electrical storage device comprises a battery management system (BMS) comprising a first housing including one or more electrical terminals. The electrical storage device further comprises at least one battery module comprising a second housing including one or more electric terminals.

Abstract: A method for automatically aligning an industrial truck in a warehouse, the method comprising the steps of: confirming that a pick has been executed by an operator and issuing a pick signal indicative thereof; determining a pick position and a next pick position and issuing pick position signals indicative of each; determining a side orientation of the industrial truck relative to a shelf side of a shelf aisle of the warehouse by the warehouse administration system in response to at least one of the pick position signals; and issuing a control command signal to the industrial truck such that the side orientation is automatically assumed for at least one of the pick positions.

Abstract: A system for controlling an industrial truck with a drive portion including a traction drive portion, a steering portion, and a load portion, comprises a portable transmitting unit configured to be positioned away from the industrial truck. The system further comprises at least three transmitting and receiving units positioned in a predetermined spatial arrangement with respect to one another on the drive portion. An evaluation unit is provided that is configured to determine a position of the portable transmitting and receiving unit relative to the industrial truck by measuring signal propagation times. The industrial truck further comprises a control unit configured to send a control command for traction drive and/or steering if the relative position of the portable transmitting and receiving unit is located within a predetermined spatial region relative to the industrial truck.

Abstract: A method for linking a second remote control unit of an industrial truck to a first remote control unit of the industrial truck comprises linking the first remote control unit to a transceiver unit using a bidirectional radio connection. The unique address of the second remote control unit is transmitted to the transceiver unit by near field communication. The unique address of the second remote control unit is transmitted by the transceiver unit to the first remote control unit via the bidirectional radio connection. The first remote control unit is linked to the second remote control unit using the unique address of the second remote control unit. A command is transmitted from the second remote control unit to the first remote control unit and the first remote control unit transmits the command by radio to the transceiver unit.

Abstract: A system for automatically linking a radio remote control to an industrial truck comprises at least three transmitting and receiving units disposed in a predetermined spatial arrangement relative to each other in the industrial truck. The at least three transmitting and receiving units are configured to transmit search signals and receive response signals. A radio remote control is configured to receive and process the search signals transmitted by the transmitting and receiving units and to transmit corresponding response signals. The system further comprises an evaluation unit that is configured to determine signal propagation times of the transmitted search signals and the received corresponding response signals and to determine a position of the radio remote control. A control unit configured to link the radio remote control with the industrial truck when the relative position of the radio remote control lies within a predetermined area.
