摘要: Different exemplary control systems for a hydraulically powered load-handling clamp, of the type usually mountable on industrial lift trucks or automatically guided vehicles, are disclosed. The disclosed variably limit hydraulic force, by which load-clamping arms move load substantially transversely, depending weight being moved, so as to avoid excessive transverse force applied fragile loads.
