Abstract As an important part of the lifting platform of pallet forklift trucks, how to reduce the deformation of the pallet rack under working conditions while reducing the mass to ensure the safety performance of forklift trucks is the most concerning issue in the design of forklift truck structure. The pallet rack structure is complex, and optimizing simulation using traditional high-precision simulation models takes much time and effort. Therefore, this paper takes the lifting platform of an unmanned AVG forklift truck as the research object and establishes a parametric model of the pallet rack using the… More >

Abstract Forklift is a kind of material handling robot, which is widely used in short-distance handling in the industrial field. However, at present, the structural design of forklifts is generally based on designers' experience, and there are still many problems in domestic forklifts compared with foreign countries. In this paper, the forklift gantry is taken as the research object, and four typical surrogate modeling techniques, namely PRS, KRG, RBF, and SVR models, are used for optimal design and analysis. The study shows that the KRG model has the best performance and RBF model has the worst… More >

Abstract Industrial vehicles like forklifts are used in many areas, such as the heavy industries, shipbuilding, and manufacturing industries. Recently, the rise in the oil prices and stricter environmental regulations have created the need for new technologies for industrial vehicles. Presently, the performance of the power train has reached its limit and cannot be further improved without increasing cost, weight and volume. Therefore, a system based on a new paradigm is needed. To achieve this goal, the structure of the power transfer system needs to be revolutionized. First, weight and size need to be reduced. In… More >
