AUTOMATICALLY GUIDED LIFTING GANTRY DEVICE FOR CONTAINERS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH A LIFTING GANTRY DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a lifting gantry device (1) for containers (2), in particular of the straddle carrier or sprinter carrier type, which lifting gantry device has four gantry supports (6d) spaced apart from one another and which by means of the wheels of the lifting gantry device is floor-based and freely movable, comprising a vehicle controller (11) by means of which the lifting gantry device (1) can be controlled automatically, and comprising a sensor system which is designed and configured to determine sensor data on the surroundings of the lifting gantry device (1) for automatically controlling the lifting gantry device (1). In order to provide an improved lifting gantry device (1), according to the invention, the sensor system comprises at least two, preferably four, sensor units (9) for contactless object measurement and in particular object recognition, of which one sensor unit (9) each is arranged on one of the four gantry supports (6d) and is configured to determine sensor data on the surroundings of the lifting gantry device (1) for object measurement and in particular object recognition.
