A forklift includes: a fork, a moving mechanism configured to move the fork in a first direction; a laser sensormounted on the fork, configured to scan laser light in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and measure a distance from the laser sensor to a surrounding object based on reflection of the scanned laser light; and a processor configured to generate a three-dimensional range image within an emission range to which the laser light is emitted based on distance data acquired when the laser sensor scans the laser light in the second direction while the moving mechanism moves the fork in the first direction.

Forklift

A forklift includes a vehicle body, a forkmounted on the vehicle body, a controller configured to adjust a position and an orientation of the vehicle body, a laser sensorconfigured to measure distance data from the laser sensor to an object existing in a space set forward of the fork, and a control commander configured to, when the distance data measured by the laser sensor includes a load or a palletto be lifted, generate track data for moving the vehicle body to a loading position of the load or the pallet based on the distance data, and provide a command to the controller using the generated track data.

A conglomerate layer is formed horizontally on a base of ground which has a high water permeability and easily liquefies. A bottom plate is formed on the conglomerate layer to construct the underground structure thereon. One or more drainpipes are extended upwardly from the conglomerate layer through the bottom plate for draining excessive pore water in the ground.

A conglomerate layer is formed in ground which has a high water permeability and is liable to be liquefied. An underground base of the structure is constructed on the conglomerate layer. One or more drainpipes are extended substantially horizontally from the conglomerate layer through the underground base so as to communicate with the surface of the ground.
