<p>A method of automatically orientating a materials handling vehicle to a desired angle,
the method including providing the vehicle with ground engaging transport means operably connected to a chassis of the vehicle,
providing a first stabiliser towards a right hand side of the vehicle, the first stabiliser being selectively engageable with the ground to lift a right hand side of the chassis,
providing a second stabiliser towards a left hand side of the vehicle, the second stabiliser being selectably engageable with ground to lift the left hand side of the chassis,
providing a controller to control operation of the first and second stabilisers in response to an operator input,
the method including the steps of positioning the vehicle on ground with the first and second stabilisers being disengaged from the ground such that the chassis is at an initial roll angle,
providing a desired roll angle,
providing an operator input to the controller requiring deployment of the stabilisers such that the controller simultaneously deploys the first and second stabilisers,
wherein upon detection of a change in roll angle away from the desired roll angle caused by engagement of one of the stabilisers with the ground, the controller automatically stops deployment of said one of the stabilisers and continues deployment of the other of the stabilisers until the desired roll angle is achieved.</p> |
