Abstract
A mobile drive unit for an inventory system includes a base suspended from a frame by a pivot assembly, such as a first link and a second link. The base supports a platform configured to engage an inventory holder of the inventory system. Movement of the base causes the platform to tip, such as away from a direction of a reaction force acting on the base due to acceleration or deceleration of the mobile drive unit.
