Abstract

A monitoring system for a fork lift truck or other load handling vehicle comprises a plurality of transducers each assigned to detect a particular condition of vehicle usage; means for deriving from the transducers a plurality of binary signals each representative of the condition detected by a respective one of said transducers; and binary processing means including means for selectively gating the binary signals thereby to produce a plurality of sets of data each corresponding to a mode of vehicle usage represented by a respective combination of said signals. The sets of data are accumulated thereby to derive a count representative of the duration of each said mode of vehicle usage. The data read-out may be transmitted to a remove receive over an optical link.
