A road working machine includes an operator's station that is adapted to be occupied by an operator of the road working machine. The road working machine also includes a controller and a safety light circuit that is operatively attached to the controller. The safety light circuit includes a plurality of downwardly directed safety lights that are located so as to provide lighted egress from the operator's station.

An earth working machine (10), for example a road milling machine (10), recycler, stabilizer, or surface miner, having a propelling unit (22) and a machine frame (12) carried by the propelling unit (22), comprises a working apparatus (32) for earth working; an operator's platform (24), having an operating console (26) for controlling at least one functional device (32, 39) of the earth working machine (10), being provided on the machine frame (12). Provision is made according to the present invention that the earth working machine (10) comprises, in the region of the operator's platform (24), a seat mount arrangement (66) that is embodied to be brought into releasable mounting engagement with a counterpart mount arrangement (76) of an operating seat (62, 64).

A material transfer vehicle includes a material-receiving device that is adapted to receive asphalt paving material, and a loading conveyor that is operatively connected to the material-receiving device and adapted to receive asphalt paving material from the material-receiving device. A ground operator's station is located adjacent to the material-receiving device. The ground operator's station includes a lower platform on which the ground operator may stand, and a seat on which the ground operator may sit.

A screed assembly for a paving machine is disclosed. The screed assembly may include a frame, a main screed and a screed plate. Additionally, the screed assembly may include an overload support system mounted on the screed assembly. Further, the overload support system may be configured to contact the surface extending beneath the screed assembly and to support the screed assembly during transport on the surface.

The present disclosure refers to a road finisher with a tractor, which has a paving screed coupled to the tractor by means of pulling arms and aligned transversely to the direction of travel, a screed footway being provided at the rear end of the paving screed, at least one railing module being attached to the screed footway, at least one stowing device for receiving objects being attached to the railing module.

A self-propelled ground milling machine, in particular a road milling machine, a stabilizer or a recycler, comprising a machine frame borne by traveling devices, a ground milling device mounted on the machine frame having a milling drum box and a milling drum which can be rotated within the milling drum box about a rotation axis running transverse to a main working direction of the ground milling machine, and an operator platform from which the ground milling machine is operated by an operator, having an operator platform floor on which the operator can stand while operating the ground milling machine, having a main floor plate. What is now essential according to the invention is that, in addition to the main floor plate, a side floor plate is provided which can be pivoted about a vertical axis or can be adjusted along a horizontal adjustment axis, and by means of which the standing area of the operator platform can be varied.

A material transfer vehicle includes a material-receiving device that is adapted to receive asphalt paving material, and a loading conveyor that is operatively connected to the material-receiving device and adapted to receive asphalt paving material from the material-receiving device. A ground operator's station is located adjacent to the material-receiving device. The ground operator's station includes a lower platform on which the ground operator may stand, and a seat on which the ground operator may sit.

A step assembly is disclosed. The step assembly may include a first step support member and a second step support member to be connected to a screed frame, and a step frame movably connected to the first step support member and the second step support member. The step frame may be movably connected to the first step support member by a first pin engaged with the first step support member and a slot of the step frame. The step frame may be movably connected to the second step support member by a second pin engaged with the second step support member and an aperture of the step frame. The step frame may be biased to a position relative the first step support member and the second step support member by a first biasing member and a second biasing member.

A roller tube concrete finishing machine includes retractable vibration gangs that can be selectively immersed within wet concrete and then retracted with parallelogram linkage. Spaced-apart, drive parallel rollers are journaled between frame ends for supporting and propelling the machine upon and between parallel form rails. A front roller provide a strike-off function. The vibration gangs are deployed by a retractable, parallelogram linkage that moves them forwardly and downwardly for operation, or which retracts the vibrators inwardly and upwardly relative to the frame. When the vibrators are retracted, the are withdrawn upwardly from the concrete and retracted rearwardly towards the machine front to reduce machine dimensions. Substantial retraction of the vibrators prevents subsequent interference with the rebar below. Vibrator retraction reduces overall machine dimensions for clearance and shipping purposes, with gang vibration arrays nested upwardly and inwardly proximate the front of the machine.
