A lift arm structure for a power machine with a frame can include a lift arm and an electrical lift actuator. The lift arm can be configured to be movably secured to the frame to extend along a lateral side of the frame. The electrical lift actuator can be secured to the lift arm within a pocket defined by the lift arm and can be configured to extend and retract between the lift arm and the frame of the power machine to raise and lower the lift arm.

COMPACT ACTUATED SHEAR PIN

An actuated shear pin includes an actuator and pin body coupled to the actuator. The actuator selectively configures the pin body in a locking configuration or a stowed configuration. In the locking configuration, the pin body is placed in a travel path of two components configured to move relative to each other, to inhibit such relative movement. In the stowed configuration, the pin body is out of the travel path, thereby allowing the two components to move relative to each other.
