Handling machine comprising a removable control console and corresponding machine control method

The machine (1) as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the control station (202) of the machine is devoid of an additional steering control component that can be used instead of the control console (12).

The machine as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the control console (12) comprises a rechargeable battery (129) and an electrical connection system (124) connected to the battery (129), the electrical connection system (124) of the control console (12) is configured, in the state whereby the control console (12) is positioned in or on the docking support (212), to be connected to an electrical connection system (2124) of the docking support (212) to allow the battery (129) to be recharged by an electrical power supply system (24) of the machine.

The machine as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the electrical connection system (124) of the control console (12) is located on a lateral face and/or on a lower face, as opposed to an upper face of the control console (12) that supports the control device (2123) for controlling the system for moving the rolling chassis of the machine on the ground and the control device (2126) for controlling the handling system (600) of the machine, while the electrical connection system (2124) of the docking support (212) is located on a lateral face and/or on an upper face of the docking support (212), so as to allow the electrical connection systems (124, 2124) to be automatically connected to each other when the user places the control console (12) in the docking support (212) under the effect of gravity.

The machine as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the machine comprises a locking system (213) for locking the control console (12) so as to hold it in position in or on the docking support (212), and for unlocking the control console (12) from the docking support (212) so as to remove it.

The machine as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the handling system (600) comprises a lifting arm (6) that can be inclined relative to the rolling chassis (2), between a low position and a high position, the lifting arm (6) being provided with handling equipment (14), such as a work platform or a fork system, movably mounted relative to the lifting arm (6), the lifting arm (6) preferably being telescopic and preferably being pivotably mounted at the rear of the machine,

• the control device (2126) for controlling the handling system (600) of the machine is configured to allow the following to be controlled:
• the angle of incline of the lifting arm (6) relative to the rolling chassis (2) and/or the movement of the equipment (14) relative to the lifting arm (6).

The machine as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein, in degraded mode (M2), the processing unit (10) is configured to limit the maximum value of the speed (V2_max′), or of the acceleration, of movement of the rolling chassis of the machine on the ground relative to the maximum value of the speed (V2_max), or of the acceleration, permitted in nominal mode (M1).

The machine (1) as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the handling system (600) comprises a lifting arm (6) that can be inclined relative to the rolling chassis (2), between a low position and a high position, the lifting arm (6) being provided with handling equipment (14), such as a work platform or a fork system, the lifting arm (6) preferably being pivotably mounted at the rear of the machine, and wherein, in degraded mode (M2), the processing unit (10) is configured to limit the maximum permitted value of the angular speed and/or of the angular acceleration (V′A6_max) of the lifting arm (6) relative to the maximum value of the angular speed (VA6_max) and/or of the angular acceleration of the lifting arm (6) permitted in nominal mode (M1).

The machine (1) as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the handling system (600) comprises a lifting arm (6) that can be inclined relative to the rolling chassis, between a low position and a high position, the lifting arm (6) being provided with handling equipment (14), such as a work platform or a fork system, the lifting arm being telescopic and preferably being pivotably mounted at the rear of the machine,

• and wherein, in degraded mode (M2), the processing unit (10) is configured to limit the extension speed (V′T6_max) and/or the maximum permitted extension acceleration of the lifting arm (6) relative to the extension speed (VT6_max) and/or the maximum permitted extension acceleration of the lifting arm (6) in nominal mode (M1).

(212) the control console (12) is pivotably mounted (R12) relative to or with the docking support (212) so as to form a steering control component, such as a steering wheel, via said pivoting mobility so as to allow the driver present in the control station (202) of the machine to control a system (23) for steering the wheels of the machine by pivoting (R12) the control console (12).
