Development of a Stability Monitor/Controller for Material Handling Equipment. Phase I.

Abstract

The purpose of this two-phased study is to investigate the feasibility of developing a stability monitor or controller suitable for material handling equipment (MHE). Recommendations were to be made as to the optimal method (Phase I). This report documents Phase I of the investigation. A mathematical model of a typical vehicle (warehouse lift truck) is derived. This information provides a foundation for proposing two basic approaches. Mathematical and experimental investigations reveal that flaws existed in both of these, and a third approach is proposed which is a combination of the previous two. Two types of controls are recommended - one of which is effectively a monitor-type system.
