The work vehicle includes: a clutch device including a forward-travel clutch and a backward-travel clutch configured to cause, when being in an engagement state, the work vehicle to travel in a forward travel direction and a backward travel direction; a forward-backward travel instruction device configured to instruct the work vehicle to travel in the forward travel direction or the backward travel direction; a clutch state detection device configured to detect whether the forward-travel clutch and the backward-travel clutch are each in the engagement state; and a torque restriction section configured to restrict a maximum absorbing torque of the hydraulic pump to be low when a restriction condition holds, the restriction condition including a condition that a traveling direction of the work vehicle, which corresponds to an engagement state of the clutch device, and a traveling direction of the work vehicle, which is instructed by the forward-backward travel instruction device are opposite to each other.

A loader includes a frame arrangement with a front frame portion and a rear frame portion. The loader includes a lifting arrangement mounted to the front frame portion. The lifting arrangement comprises a main arm provided with a pivot connector at a proximate end and an equipment connector at a distal end. The lifting arrangement includes a main arm support means for pivotably supporting the pivot connector of the main arm. The main arm support means is movable in a direction including a component in a front-rear direction with respect to the front frame portion. The lifting arrangement includes a main arm actuating element for pivoting the main arm such that the equipment connector is movable between a lowered position and a lifted position.

The present invention relates to a loader with a frame arrangement and a lifting arrangement. The lifting arrangement is mounted to the frame arrangement and comprises a main arm. The main arm is provided with a pivot connector at a proximate end thereof and an equipment connector at a distal end thereof. The main arm is provided with a main arm actuating element for moving the main arm between a lowered position and a lifted position. The lifting arrangement is configured to move the equipment connector between the lowered position and the lifted position along a substantially J-shaped path to move the equipment connector forward in a front-rear direction of the loader upon lifting the equipment connector.

Provided is a lifting arrangement mountable to a frame arrangement of a vertical lift wheel loader. The lifting arrangement comprises a main arm support element, a main arm, and a guiding arrangement. The main arm support element comprises at least two longitudinal members interconnected by at least one connecting element.

An electric vehicle may include a frame, a set of wheels, and a bucket. In addition, the vehicle may include an electric propulsion system comprising one or more electric motors and one or more electric power sources configured to deliver power to the one or more electric motors. Further, the vehicle may have a payload capacity, the payload capacity being a weight of material that can be loaded into the bucket and transported by the electric vehicle; and the payload capacity may be at least approximately 10 metric tons.

Disclosed is a self-level mechanism for controlling a tilting movement of an equipment (15) mounted to an equipment connector (5) of a main arm (3) of a lifting arrangement of a construction machine, preferably a wheel loader (1), upon pivoting said main arm (3). The self-level mechanism is configured to at least partially compensate any tilting movement of the equipment (15).

The disclosure relates to a loader working device for solving the problem of arranging the parts used in a vertical lifting mechanism of an existing loader. The loader working device comprises an accessory, an accessory overturning mechanism, and an accessory lifting mechanism including a movable arm, a movable arm oil cylinder, a front link rod and a rear link rod. The accessory lifting mechanism does not cause the accessory to interfere with a rocker arm and a front axle package of the loader working device. A connecting and mounting point of the movable arm and the accessory can be moved backwardly, thus improving a digging force and a tilting load at a low position of the loader working device.

The invention relates to a method (19) of operating a hydraulic arrangement (1) including a mounting base (5), a boom (3) that is pivotably arranged on the mounting base (5), and a Z-kinematics (2) that is arranged on the boom (3). The Z-kinematics (2) tilts a tool attachment device (10), that is pivotably arranged on the boom (3). The boom (3) is moved by a lifting hydraulic piston (7) that is connected to the boom (3) and to the mounting base (5). The Z-kinematics (2) is moved by at least a tilting hydraulic piston (11) that is connected to a lever of the Z-kinematics (2) and to the mounting base (5). On application of an input control command for changing the position of the lifting hydraulic piston (7), a compensation command is automatically generated and applied to the tilting hydraulic piston (11), to essentially maintain the attitude of the tool attachment device (10). The compensation command is generated based on the input control command for the lifting hydraulic piston (7), using a mathematical model of the hydraulic arrangement (1).

An implement system includes a linkage and a bucket coupled with the linkage and movable between a dump position and a racked position. The bucket has a compound back section that forms a profile having a basin shape to assist in distributing material within the back section when the bucket is curled, and nesting the bucket close to the linkage. Related methodology is disclosed.

In one aspect, an implement adjustment assembly may include a lift arm pivotably coupled to a frame of a work vehicle at a first pivot joint and a bell crank pivotably coupled to the lift arm. Furthermore, the implement adjustment assembly may include a first actuator pivotably coupled to the frame of the work vehicle at a second pivot joint, with the first actuator further being pivotably coupled to the bell crank. The second pivot joint may be spaced apart from the first pivot joint by a first distance along a vertical direction of the work vehicle and by a second distance along a longitudinal direction of the work vehicle, with the first distance being at least one and half times greater than the second distance.
