Electric forklifts are moving away from the old architecture of a central traction motor plus a differential and dry disc brakes. Instead, many high?capacity trucks now use electric drive axles with i
Regulators and insurers are pushing hard for forklift proximity warning and collision avoidance systems. The most common retrofit uses a mix of radar, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors to detect pedestria
For a century, the only cooling system that mattered on an excavator or wheel loader was the diesel engine radiator. As machines transition to battery?electric, that single focus is exploding into a m
Large warehouses are going through a painful operational transition: integrating autonomous mobile robots (AMR) into existing manual forklift fleets. AMRs use LiDAR and 3D vision to navigate aisles, m
Tier 4 Final / Stage V emissions rely on diesel particulate filters (DPF) to physically trap soot from the exhaust. The system burns that soot to ash during automatic regeneration. But here's the phys
For decades, the connection between an excavator joystick and the main control valve was a hose full of pilot oil. Moving the joystick stroked a tiny pilot valve, sending low?pressure oil to the end o
A brand-new, heavy-capacity lithium-ion forklift can easily cost $80,000 to$100,000. For a warehouse running a fleet of 30 trucks, that capital expenditure is staggering. But many of these warehouses
If you look under the hood of a brand-new excavator, you'll notice something different about the hydraulic routing. The traditional, stiff, black rubber hose covered in heavy steel wire braid is slowl
For decades, the final word on whether a dirt job site was properly compacted belonged to the nuclear density gauge. A technician would drive out, get a radiation safety permit, and use a radioactive
In high-throughput, multi-shift cold storage warehouses, lithium-ion batteries still present a logistical challenge. Opportunity charging takes time, and swapping a 4,000-pound battery requires heavy
Fifteen years ago, an operator spent the first twenty minutes of every shift walking around the machine with a manual grease gun, forcing moly into the bucket pins and the boom joints. Today, almost e
As battery-electric excavators and wheel loaders move from novelty to mainstream production, the physical dynamics of a construction site are changing in terrifying ways. A diesel spill creates an env
