  • Publication number: 20230147933
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive unit for a device for lifting and transporting loads, which is attached or to be attached to a further device. A drive device according to the invention for the lateral movement of at least two load lifting elements of a device for lifting and transporting loads for mounting on a movable or stationary device comprises a first drive element and a second drive element, wherein the first load lifting element is movable by the first drive element and the second load lifting element is movable by the second drive element laterally in the axial direction of a first guide profile of the device for lifting and transporting loads, wherein the at least two load lifting elements are supportable by the first guide profile. The two drive elements can be driven by exactly one drive unit, the exactly one drive unit being positioned between the two drive elements.

  • Publication number: 20230064762
    Abstract: The invention relates to a load pick-up means of an industrial truck or the like having an integrated camera for detecting the environment of the industrial truck. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system that enables the operator of the industrial truck to safely maneuver the industrial truck even when the direct view of the path of travel is limited by a load picked up by the load pick-up means of the industrial truck, and that enables the operator of the industrial truck to determine the exact position of the load in relation to the position of the load pick-up means better than before, in particular when setting down or picking up a load. A first load pick-up means according to the invention has a first portion oriented substantially horizontally in operation and having an extension in the horizontal longitudinal direction x, an extension in the vertical thickness direction y, and an extension in the width direction z, and a second portion arranged substantially perpendicularly to the first portion.

  • Patent number: 10494240
    Abstract: A load-bearing support is provided for an industrial truck, which can be fastened to another device. At least one load can be displaced horizontally in relation to the industrial truck and can be fastened in such a way that the load-bearing support can be tilted in vertical direction, wherein the area through which the driver of the industrial truck can see at a corresponding lifting height of a lifting carriage is maximized. The load-bearing support has a rear and a front part, wherein the front part of the load-bearing support has at least one upper holder and a lower holder for the at least one load and the two parts are connected to each other in such a way that the two parts can be rotated and laterally displaced.

  • Patent number: 9221658
    Abstract: Embodiments of the subject innovation relate to a device for picking up loads, having a frame, two load pick-up elements that are configured so as to move lengthwise on the frame, two drive units that are installed on the frame and arranged one above the other, whereby each drive unit has a drive element and is configured to move this drive element relative to the frame in two opposite directions parallel to the direction of motion of the load pick-up elements, whereby force-transmissions and deflectors are provided on the drive elements. By activating the drive units, a movement of the drive elements can be converted into a corresponding movement of the appertaining load pick-up elements.
