20150353291 | Control System for Material Handling Conveyor Vehicle - Control solutions for a mobile conveyor vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a pair of movable belt conveyor systems for conveying bulk material to an elevated location. One of the conveyors may be rotated via turntable while the other is rotated by four-wheel steering motion of the vehicle. The control system may be configured to: receive user input indicative of desired infeed location of the infeed end and a desired output location of the output end; determine a desired control solution for disposing the infeed end at the desired infeed location and disposing the output end at the desired output location; and cooperatively operate the first powered actuator system, the second powered actuator system and the powered drive system according to the desired control solution. | 12-10-2015 |
20150336747 | Material Handling Conveyor Vehicle - Material handling solutions for a mobile conveyor vehicle are provided. In one aspect, a vehicle having an infeed and output conveyor is provided, one of the conveyors being mounted non-rotatably to the vehicle and positioned by rotation-in-place of the vehicle via four wheel steering. In another aspect, a dust control cover for a telescoping conveyor is provided, having a pair of flexible flaps which are parted by a plough-shaped chute which travels through a gap between the flaps and delivers material to the lower conveyor section. In another aspect, a hydraulic fluid transmission system for a mobile conveyor vehicle is provided which makes use of at least one hollow structural element to route the hydraulic fluid. The structural member may radiate heat from the fluid for example to melt snow on the vehicle structure. | 11-26-2015 |
20120219391 | Mobile Material Handling and Metering System - A method and system for handling granular material, such as proppant used in hydraulic fracturing in well drilling, is provided. In an operational configuration, a delivery module having conveyors receives and conveys granular material to a delivery location, and one or more mobile storage modules receive, hold and dispense granular material downward to the delivery module. The mobile storage modules comprise a raised, angular container portion for holding granular material. Each mobile storage module may comprise a rock-over chassis for support against ground. A remote control module provides centralized, remote control of the system. Mobile support unit modules may also be provided as a remotely controlled vehicle capable of providing power, control, heating, and the like to other modules. Mobile in-feed elevator modules may also be provided as a remotely controlled vehicle for feeding granular material to mobile storage modules. In a transportation configuration, each module is separately transportable. | 08-30-2012 |
20120099954 | MOBILE MATERIAL HANDLING AND METERING SYSTEM - A method and system for handling granular material, such as proppant used in hydraulic fracturing in well drilling, is provided. In an operational configuration, a delivery module having conveyors receives and conveys granular material to a delivery location, and one or more mobile storage modules receive, hold and dispense granular material downward to the delivery module. The mobile storage modules comprise a raised, angular container portion for holding granular material. Each module may comprise a rock-over chassis for support against ground. In a transportation configuration, each of the delivery modules and mobile storage modules are separately transportable as semi-trailers. System redundancy features such as hydraulic power packs are also provided for. | 04-26-2012 |
20090191034 | REMOTE CONTROLLABLE MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM - The remote controllable material handling system comprises a material handling device configured to carry particulate matter, which includes one or more operatively coupled actuators, wherein the actuators are configured to transfer the particulate matter carried by the material handling device and are responsive to one or more control signals. The remote controllable material handling system further includes a MHD receiver operatively connected to the material handling device, which is configured to generate the one or more control signals in response to one or more transmission signals originating from a wireless remote transmitter. The wireless remote transmitter is moveable relative to the material handling device, and configured to receive as input one or more operator instructions for generating the one or more transmission signals for transmission to the MHD receiver in response to the one or more operator instructions. | 07-30-2009 |
20090184492 | ROLLOVER LIMITING VEHICLE COUPLING APPARATUS - The present invention provides a rollover limiting vehicle coupling apparatus for coupling two vehicles, wherein apparatus is configured to provide stability in certain directions in one mode of operation, and is further configured to prevent transmission of rollover between vehicles in another mode of operation. | 07-23-2009 |
