A removable scraper device is described herein. The removable scraper device includes an attachment element and a socket defined by the attachment element, wherein the socket is configured to receive a post of a scraper element therein. The removable scraper device further includes a slot defined by the attachment element, wherein the slot is configured to receive a portion of a bucket of a wheeled-machine therein. The removable scraper device further includes an aperture defined by the attachment element and a bolt sized to be received within the aperture. In some embodiments of the removable scraper device, the bolt and aperture are configured to selectively press the attachment element against the bucket to removably secure the removable scraper device thereto.

Provided is a working machine including a device to be maintained and a winch disposed thereover and enabling a maintenance operation. The working machine includes a base machine, at least one device to be maintained installed at the base machine, and a winch which is driven to wind an operation rope. The winch is attached to the base machine to be pivotable, about a winch support shaft, between a use position at which the winch is used while closing at least a part of a maintenance space over the device to be maintained and a maintenance position at which the winch opens the maintenance space upward to enable the maintenance operation to be performed.

A gripper having at least two gripper arms movably arranged in a pincer-like manner on a base part and a cutting device for material to be cut for attachment to a processing machine, wherein the cutting device is formed by a cutting plate, which is movable by a piston-cylinder unit from an active position, in which the cutting plate projects into a receiving space for the material to be cut enclosed by the gripper arms, into an inactive position, in which the cutting plate is retracted in the base part. The retractable and extendable piston rod of the piston-cylinder unit is connected to the cutting plate via a driver pin which, in the active position of the cutting plate, rests against an abutment of the base part when the cutting plate is loaded.

An attachment configured to be captured and lifted by a bucket of a vehicle includes a back end proximate the bucket, in operation; a left side; a right side; a front end distal from the bucket, the front end defining a bottom surface; connection means for receiving a forward edge of the bucket, wherein the bucket can engage and lift the attachment; and means defining a material handling area between the left side, right side, front end, and back end, the material handling area including apertures for sifting, wherein material rolls up into the material handling area when the attachment moves forward so that material can be sifted in the sifting area.

An excavator (1) having a lifting device (2) for lifting a pallet comprising a chassis (3) having a boom (4) mounted thereon and a dipper arm (5) pivotally coupled to a distal end of said boom to which an implement, such as a bucket, may be attached, said lifting device comprising a mast (12) upon which is slideably mounted a carriage (20), a pair of spaced tines (21, 22) being provided on said carriage for supporting a pallet thereon, wherein said mast is mounted on said dipper arm of said excavator to be arranged in a vertical or substantially vertical operative orientation such that, in use, said carriage can be moved between lowered and raised positions on said mast when the mast is mounted on said boom, wherein at least one ground engaging load bearing member (28, 29) is provided at a lower end of said mast.

A levelling apparatus, typically as used on tractors, excavators and skid-steer vehicles includes a blade body portion and body mounting portion connected by an arrangement of fixed and adjustable linkages, preferably hydraulic, to allow movement of the blade body portion (relative to the body mounting portion) in substantially an up and down direction, as well as rotational movement about an axis perpendicular to the general plane of an attached blade.

An implement system is adapted for use with a machine including an implement and a fork assembly. The fork assembly having one or more loading members includes a first upright portion, a second upright portion, and a crimped portion. Further, the crimped portion interconnects the first upright portion and the second upright portion. A mounting device is configured to support the implement and the fork assembly. Further, the mounting device includes a first side plate and a second side plate. A first transverse member is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate. A second transverse member is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate, such that the one or more loading members of the fork assembly are pivotally connected to the second transverse member.

A method for slowing transfer of a heavy work machine on a sloping base using a transportation device equipped with wheels, the work machine including a body, a crawler chassis fitted beneath the body, a set of booms having at least one operating cylinder, a first end and a second end, said set of booms being pivoted at the first end to the work machine and a selected auxiliary device is pivoted at the second end, and a brake surface connected to the auxiliary device, in which method includes the steps of transferring the work machine by supporting the work machine on the crawler chassis at least partly on top of the transportation device, towing the work machine using a transfer vehicle with the aid of the transportation device, using said operating cylinder of the set of booms to press the brake surface against the sloping base to create friction to slow transfer speed of the transportation device on the sloping base, and adjusting pressing of the brake surface taking place through the auxiliary device using the operating cylinder or one set of booms. An arrangement in connection with a heavy work machine for transferring the work machine on a sloping base is also described.

A conversion kit for converting a front-loader bucket for use as a forklift, a bale transporter or similar object mover. Parallel tine assemblies pivoted to a bucket top include tines that normally project forwardly, and cooperating vertical arms linked to the tines. The arms are fastened at their bottoms within protective elbow brackets to which the tines are pinned. The arms support hollow pivot sleeves penetrated by axle members that enable tine assembly rotation. A plurality of box-like receivers forming sockets enable the quick connection and/or disconnection of parts. Lower receiver sockets removably support pivot sleeves secured to quick-connect plugs that are penetrated by axle segments. A pair of rigid, tine stowage brackets may be secured at the rear. After the projecting tines are unpinned from front mounted elbow brackets, the tine assembly may rotate over the bucket to an out-of-the way position.
