distance measurement. In racking, there may
be areas in which the functions of the industri-
al truck need to be restricted or locked. Such
areas include those in which the truck must
brake or even stop for occupational safety rea-
sons, e.g.
●
In the direction of the open or closed ends
of aisles
●
Areas in the storage area with lower ceil-
ings (false ceilings, mezzanines)
Zones
A distinction is often made between the follow-
ing zones with different functions:
●
Outside the aisles (transfer aisle)
●
Braking zone before leaving an aisle. In the
case of aisles that are open at both sides,
there may be one of these zones at both
ends
●
Braking zone before a wall if the aisles are
closed at one end
●
Rapid travel zone. The area within an aisle
between the braking zones at the ends of
the aisles
By means of programming, the driving speed
can be limited to a different value in each of
the zones mentioned.
A waiting period can be programmed after
each braking (time stop).
In principle, enabling can be blocked for each
function.
The automatic braking systems are often com-
bined with lift height restrictions.
Zone detection
The zones are identified by a sensor system
that is either attached to the rack or embed-
ded in the hall floor. Optical, inductive, mag-
netic and radio-based systems are used.
In principle, the customer decides which sen-
sor system is best suited for the racking and is
therefore used.
