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

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 1). Phase 2 required the design, fabrication, and testing of an exploratory system to demonstrate feasibility. This report documents Phase 1 of the investigation. The exploratory system is a microcomputer-based system which performs calculations as derived in Phase 1. The system hardware is documented. Installation instructions for the exploratory system are provided such that the system can be installed on a vehicle different from the one used in testing. The results of the test program are presented. (Author)
