A counterweight device including a base plate having a mounted counterweight, a hydraulic cylinder that raises/lowers the counterweight mounted on the base plate, a detachable frame connecting the base plate and a cylinder rod of the hydraulic cylinder, a first pin pivotably supporting the detachable frame with respect to the cylinder rod, a guide coupling portion guiding a free end side of the detachable frame to the rear end portion side of a turning frame in response to a stretching/shrinking state of the cylinder rod, and coupled to the turning frame below an upper end of the rear end portion, and a rail (guide member) guiding the free end side of the detachable frame in a direction parallel to a stretching/shrinking direction of the cylinder rod. The mounting table and the hydraulic cylinder may be supported by a rear end portion of a machine body frame of a construction machine.

System and methods for a DC powered hydraulic system capable of providing control over pressurized hydraulic fluid delivered to directional valves without the need for a PTO and/or a proportional valve. The hydraulic system controls the output from a battery to a direct current hydraulic pump.

Utility Task Vehicles comprise a chassis, a truck body mounted to the chassis, a truck bed for holding material, and a hydraulic and/or electrical system. What is presented is a lifting unit for a Utility Task Vehicle that is factory built into the Utility Task Vehicle or an after-market add-on to the Utility Task Vehicle. The lifting unit comprises a cross-bracket mounted to the underside of the chassis and a side rail along one side of the truck body. A rotatable horseshoe hinge is mounted to the side rail. The horseshoe hinge is configured to pivot between a lower position and an upper position. An interchangeable attachment is configured to be installed on the horseshoe hinge. The interchangeable attachment could be, for example, a rock picker, a material lifting bucket, a log and bag loader, a deer skinning pole, or a hoist.

The present disclosure relates to a cabin lifter for a material transfer unit comprising at least one hydraulic cylinder supported in a damped manner. The present disclosure is further directed to a corresponding damping bush for damping the hydraulic cylinder and to a material transfer unit comprising a corresponding cabin lifter.

A system and method for retaining a linear actuator on a crane component such as a mast is disclosed. In the system a retaining mechanism is mounted on either a body of the linear actuator or the crane component and a catch is mounted to the other of the body or the crane component. Retraction of a rod of the linear actuator causes a cap on the rod to contact the retaining mechanism, which causes the retaining mechanism to move into a latched configuration securing the linear actuator.

A hydraulic rotary drive includes a first rotary drive element and at least two annular pistons connected to the first rotary drive element in a rotationally fixed manner and configured to be axially movable on the first rotary drive element between two end positions. Each annular piston has two annular spur serrations directed away from one another. The hydraulic rotary drive includes a second rotary drive element with ring type serrations that are complementary to the spur serrations of the annular pistons. The hydraulic rotary drive includes a control unit that is configured to control supply of hydraulic fluid to the annular pistons to cause a reciprocating movement of the annular pistons on a shaft in accordance with an operating signal. The hydraulic rotary drive includes a sensor arrangement communicatively coupled to the control unit and arranged to detect the positions of the annular pistons along respective sliding paths.

A telescopic side arm for a refuse vehicle has an inner and outer boom. A mounting assembly secures the outer boom with a refuse vehicle. A plurality of bearing pads is positioned between the inner and outer booms to provide smooth movement between the inner and outer booms. A plurality of shims is associated with the bearing pads to assure a tight fit between the inner and outer booms.

The present invention is provided with: a manipulation unit; a winch device that operates with an actuation mode of either a high speed mode or a low speed mode, and winds in or reels out a wire rope; a selection unit for an operator to select either the high speed mode or the low speed mode; a load calculation unit calculating a suspended load; a tension calculation unit calculating the tension of the wire rope; and a control unit controlling the actuation of the winch device. If the mode selected by the selection unit is the high speed mode, the manipulation unit is manipulated from a neutral state to a non-neutral state, and the suspended load is smaller than a load threshold and the tension is smaller than a tension threshold, the control unit controls the winch device so as to operate in the high speed mode.
