More Information
Summary:A materials handling vehicle comprising: a power unit; a load handling assembly coupled to said power unit; at least one obstacle detector mounted to said power unit to detect an object located along a path of travel of said power unit, said detector generating a distance signal upon detecting an object corresponding to a distance between the detected object and said power unit. The materials handling vehicle also comprises a load sensor to generate a weight signal indicative of a weight of a load on said load handling assembly; and a controller receiving said distance signal and said weight signal and generating a corresponding vehicle stop or maximum allowable speed signal based on said distance and weight signals.
