The invention includes a vehicle main body, a boom, a first actuator connecting the boom and the vehicle main body and configured to rotate the boom with respect to the vehicle main body about a first central axis, a first electric motor connected to the first actuator and that operates the first actuator. The boom includes a pair of boom lateral plates disposed to face each other in a direction of the first central axis, and a boom bottom plate connecting the boom lateral plates to each other, the first electric motor being disposed in a boom internal space surrounded by the pair of boom lateral plates and the boom bottom plate.

A work machine including a mainframe, an operator cab coupled to the mainframe and a boom assembly. The mainframe extends in a fore-aft direction. The operator cab may be coupled to the mainframe. The boom assembly is movably coupled to the mainframe at a boom assembly pivot wherein the boom assembly may move between a retracted position and an extended position. The boom assembly pivot is located aft of the operator cab and is commonly positioned for both a vertical lift boom assembly and a radial lift boom assembly. In another embodiment, the boom assembly pivot interchangeably accommodates a vertical lift boom assembly and a radial lift boom assembly.

Disclosed embodiments include power machines and related structures of lift arms, implement carriers, follower links, and driver links which improve manufacturability, reduce component failures, and improve power machine design and functionality. In some embodiments, lift arm structures include cast lower lift arm portions. The cast lower lift arm portions include contoured upper ends which are sleeved onto contoured lower ends of upper lift arm portions to control stress points and to reduce stresses on welds. The follower link structures can include follower links which are configured to be positioned at least partially outside of the lift arm structure to improve rear visibility. The driver link structures can be configured to be laterally overlapping with innermost surfaces on the lift cylinder, but configured such that as the lift arm is raised the laterally overlapping portions are moved above the innermost surfaces of the lift cylinder.

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to excavating equipment and, more particularly, to a damping element for excavator shovel buckets that improves the protection of its components.

A system includes a work machine having a work implement including a bucket, and a server capable of communicating with the work machine. The work machine transmits an identification number associated with the work machine to the server. The server obtains basic data based on the identification information and used for calculating the position of teeth of the bucket. The server transmits the obtained basic data to the work machine.
