An industrial materials handling vehicle (5) including a vehicle body (10) supported by steer wheel and wheel assemblies (30), a bumper (40) coupled to the body (10), and a sensor accommodating bumper mount (150) mounted to the vehicle body (10) and/or bumper (40), the body (10) and the bumper (40) cooperatively defining a steer wheel access opening (60). The sensor accommodating bumper mount (150) comprises a bumper mount housing (152) with complementary steer wheel access opening (154), a sensor assembly mount (156) removably mounted to a body panel (11) of the vehicle body (10) and/or bumper mount housing (152), and a sensor assembly (158) movably mounted to the sensor assembly mount (156). The sensor assembly (158) and the sensor assembly mount (156) are positioned above the steer wheel access opening (60) and the complementary opening (154) relative to a horizontal operating plane defined by the vehicle when the sensor assembly mount (156) is mounted to the body panel (11) and/or the bumper mount housing (152) to provide unobstructed access to the steer wheel assembly (20) through the steer wheel access opening (60) and the complementary steer wheel access opening (154).

An industrial materials handling vehicle (5) including a vehicle body (10) supported by steer wheel and wheel assemblies (20), a bumper (40) coupled to the body (10), and a sensor accommodating bumper mount (50) mounted to the vehicle body and/or bumper, the body and the bumper cooperatively defining a steer wheel access opening. The sensor accommodating bumper mount comprises a bumper mount housing (52) with complementary steer wheel access opening (54), a sensor assembly mount removably mounted to the bumper and/or bumper mount housing, and a sensor assembly mounted to the sensor assembly mount. The sensor assembly and mount at least partially obstruct the steer wheel access opening and complementary steer wheel access opening when the sensor assembly mount is mounted to the bumper and/or bumper mount housing, providing at least partial access to the steer wheel assembly through the steer wheel access opening and the complementary steer wheel access opening when the sensor assembly mount is unmounted.

A materials handling vehicle comprising a hitch system, and a drive mechanism. The hitch system comprises a hitch and a hitch controller. The hitch comprises a latch and an actuator. The latch is positionable between open and closed positions. The actuator is positionable between retracted, intermediate, and extended positions, and is configured to position the latch into the open position when the actuator is in the extended position, position the latch into the closed position when the actuator is in the retracted position, and permit movement of the latch between the open position and the closed position when the actuator is in the intermediate position. The hitch controller is configured to position the actuator between the retracted position, the intermediate position, and the extended position.

A materials handling vehicle comprises a distributed processor system including a vehicle network that facilitates an exchange of information with vehicle electronic components, and a distributed multi-processor vehicle control architecture. The distributed multi-processor vehicle control architecture includes an embedded information core having a core processor communicably coupled to the vehicle network, and a tablet having a tablet processor, where the tablet is communicably couplable to, and detachable from the distributed multi-processor vehicle control architecture. When the tablet is detached from the distributed multi-processor vehicle control architecture, the core processor functions as a primary processor that communicates with vehicle electronic components by communicating therewith across the vehicle network. When the tablet is communicably attached to the distributed multi-processor vehicle control architecture, the tablet processor functions as the primary processor, and the core processor functions as a subordinate processor.
