The cab (3) has a minimum interior height, measured between the floor (6) and the ceiling (7), that is greater than 1705 mm, and a distance between the floor (6) and the ground that is less than 800 mm, and the distance between the seat index point and the floor (6) of the cabin (3) is at least equal to 650 mm.

A work machine includes: an actuator that extends and retracts a telescopic boom; an electric drive source that is provided in the actuator and drives using power supplied from a power source; an operating unit that operates based on power of the electric drive source; and a joint that has a drive-side element fixed to a first transmission shaft that rotates on the basis of the power of the electric drive source and a driven-side element fixed to a second transmission shaft connected to the operating unit, the joint being able to take a transmission state in which both the drive-side element and the driven-side element rotate and a non-transmission state in which only either the drive-side element or the driven-side element rotates.

The articulated self-propelled work machine (1), such as, for example, an articulated telescopic handler or the like, comprises: a front frame (11), provided with a pair of front wheels (111); a lift arm (2), adapted to support a load, hinged to the front frame (11) and mobile with respect thereto by means of at least one actuator (21, 22); a rear frame (12), provided with a pair of rear wheels (121) and articulated to the front frame (11); detecting means (51, 53, 54) for detecting an angular parameter relative to a steering angle between the front frame (11) and the rear frame (12); and electronic processing means (6) configured to control the operation of the actuator (21, 22) on the basis of the angular parameter.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a wearpad for a telescopic boom assembly including a first surface for contacting an outer boom of the boom assembly, a second surface for contacting an inner boom of the boom assembly, and a length, where the first surface and the second surface extend along the length, and where the length extends along a longitudinal direction. A chamfered portion of the wearpad may have a first end at a first location along the length and a second end at a second location along the length. The first surface and the second surface may converge along the chamfered portion. Thus, a first distance between the first surface and the second surface at the first end of the chamfered portion may be greater than a second distance between the first surface and the second surface at the second end of the chamfered portion.

The present invention provides a boom system 1 for breaking and manoeuvring oversize material. The boom system 1 is mounted or attached to a vehicle. The boom system 1 comprises a base 2, a column 5 protruding upwardly from the base 2 and a boom arm 3 moveably connectable to the upright column 5 at connection point 16. A moving arrangement 4 is provided to move all or part of the upright column 5 towards and away from the base 2 so that the connection 16 between the boom arm 3 and the upright column is moveable towards and away from the base 2. A mobile crusher comprising a boom system 1 for breaking and manoeuvring oversize material is also provided.

Load-handling vehicle (I) comprising a chassis (2), a handling system (4) comprising a lifting arm (5) mounted so as to move between a high and a low position and a driver's cab (3) comprising a floor (6), a ceiling (7), a front face (8), an opposite rear face (9) and two side faces (IO, II), one (IO) of the side faces (IO, II) being provided with an opening (12) for accessing the cab (3), and the other side face (II) being adjoined by the lifting arm (5) at least in the low position of the arm (5), the cab (3) being provided with a seat (13) and having at least one seat index point (SIP) established and defined in accordance with international standard ISO 5353: 1995. The cab (3) has a minimum interior height, measured between the floor (6) and the ceiling (7), that is greater than 1705 mm, and a distance between the floor (6) and the ground that is less than 800 mm, and the distance between the seat index point and the floor (6) of the cabin (3) is at least equal to 650 mm.

A trailer towable compact telehandler having an operator cab with an internal width greater than 700 mm and a curbside weight less than 2950 kg. Also included is a telehandler having a side-mounted engine which extends through a side wall of the chassis and under a lifting arm of the telehandler.

The invention provides a modification system for modifying the steering ratio for a vehicle having a tiltable telescopic boom arm (6), the vehicle having steered wheels (11), a steering wheel, and a steering transmission device serving to transmit steering movement between the steering wheel and the steered wheels (11) with a steering ratio R=Alpha/Beta, where Beta is the steering angle of the wheels, and Alpha is the turning angle of the steering wheel. The system includes a sensor configured to determine a parameter relating to the telescopic arm, e.g. an angle sensor for sensing the angle (Af) formed between the telescopic arm and the bearing plane of the wheels of the vehicle on the ground, and/or a sensor for sensing the length (L6) of the telescopic arm, and a control module for controlling the steering ratio that is configured to modify the steering ratio R as a function of said parameter relating to the telescopic arm. The invention also provides a wheeled vehicle fitted with such a steering ratio modification system.
