LEVELING SYSTEM FOR LIFT DEVICE
20170291802 · 2017-10-12 · ·

A leveling assembly for a lift device includes a carrier arm, an axle, a first actuator, and a second actuator. The carrier arm includes a base that defines a first interface configured to pivotally couple the carrier arm to a chassis of the lift device to facilitate a pitch adjustment of the leveling assembly, a projection that defines a second interface, and a transition that extends angularly between the base and the projection such that the projection is elevated relative to the base. The axle defines a third interface positioned to engage with the second interface to pivotally couple the axle to the carrier arm to facilitate a roll adjustment of the leveling assembly. The first actuator is pivotally coupled to a first lateral end of the axle. The second actuator is pivotally coupled to an opposing second lateral end of the axle.

A vehicle with 3 or more wheels includes at least two wheels aligned on the same axis. The vehicle has an intermediate centreline plane between the wheels parallel to a direction of movement, including a mass suspended in relation to the wheels defining a passenger or containment compartment, and two suspension groups kinematically connecting the suspended mass to the two aligned wheels. An anti-roll stabiliser device has at least one compensation mass kinematically connected to the suspended mass via a guide and movable in relation thereto. The anti-roll stabiliser device has a drive of the compensation mass to distance or bring the compensation mass closer to the centreline plane on the side opposite the displacement of a barycentre of the suspended mass with respect to the same centreline plane, to oppose the displacement with respect to the centreline plane of the position of the barycentre of the suspended mass.

Inclination-enabling wheel suspension for vehicles

A wheel suspension for a vehicle with a supporting vehicle element includes at least one pair of single-sided swing arms. Each single-sided swing arm is associated with a hydraulic cylinder, which is linked to the single-sided swing arm and/or the supporting vehicle element. Each hydraulic cylinder is subdivided in a fluid-tight manner into two chambers.
