Abstract

The invention relates to a material sorting system (310) adapted to engage a material handling vehicle (100), the material sorting system comprising a base (156) including fork pockets (163) to receive a pair of forks (103, 105) from the material handling vehicle (100) and a carousel assembly (318) coupled to the base including a plurality of storage units (320) and an actuation mechanism (327) to move the storage units (320) relative to the base (156). The invention further includes at least one electrical contact within the base (156) and in electrical communication with the carousel assembly (318), the at least one electrical contact adapted to engage with a corresponding electrical contact on a clamp assembly (110) of the material handling vehicle (100) to transfer power or a communication signal between the material handling vehicle (100) and the carousel assembly (318).
