A method and system for monitoring operations of a machine operating at a worksite, is provided. The machine includes an implement for performing one or more implement operations and is powered by an engine. The method includes determining a first parameter corresponding to an engine speed associated with the engine, a second parameter indicative of vibrations detected inside the operator cabin and a third parameter indicative of a machine speed associated with the machine. The method further includes determining a machine operation as one of the loading operation, the dumping operation and a travelling operation based on one or more of the determined first parameter, second parameter and the third parameter.

A dump trailer support assembly for supporting a belly dump trailer when the belly dump trailer is not coupled to a tractor includes a box for positioning on a support surface beneath a belly dump trailer. A shaft is slidably integrated into the box such that the shaft can be slid upwardly or downwardly in the box. A support is coupled to the shaft for supporting a bottom of the belly dump trailer when the belly dump trailer is not attached to a tractor. Additionally, the support is comprised of a magnetized material to magnetically engage the bottom of the belly dump trailer and inhibit the belly dump trailer from sliding on the support.

Work equipment configured to unload a collected article from the storage container and resistant to tipping over when unloading the collected article. The work equipment includes a vehicle body; a storage container provided on the vehicle body so as to be moveable between a horizontal position for storing a collected article and an inclined position for unloading the collected article; a drive unit provided between the vehicle body and the storage container and configured to change a container inclination angle defined as an angle of the storage container with respect to the vehicle body; an inclination angle sensor detecting a vehicle body inclination angle defined as an inclination angle of the vehicle body with respect to a horizontal plane; and a control unit configured to control a driving operation of the drive unit according to the vehicle body inclination angle.

An article transport vehicle (V) includes: a carriage body (1); and a transfer device (3) that is mounted on the carriage body (1) and is configured to transfer an article. The transfer device (3) includes an article support unit (32); a linking support unit (31) that links the article support unit (32) to the carriage body (1), and a drive unit (D). The linking support unit (31) includes a first shaft support portion (311) that is linked to the carriage body (1) so as to be swingable around a first shaft (A1), the article support unit (32) includes a second shaft support portion (321) that is linked to the linking support unit (31) so as to be swingable around a second shaft (A2), and the drive unit (D) includes a first drive unit (33D) and a second drive unit (34D).

A utility vehicle includes: a vehicle body frame including a cabin frame portion; a loading bed tiltable between a normal position and a dumping position; and an intake unit including an intake port. The intake unit is disposed above a rear wheel and extends over a height range overlapping a height range over which the loading bed in the normal position extends, and a location of the intake unit in a vehicle width direction substantially coincides with a location of a side wall portion of the loading bed in the vehicle width direction. The intake unit is located rearward of the cabin frame portion and exposed to the outside in the vehicle width direction. The intake unit is fixed to the vehicle body frame at a distance from a trajectory along which the loading bed is tilted.

An embodiment includes first and second brackets to respectively couple to a trailer bed; first and second arms to respectively couple to the first and second brackets; wherein (a) in a first orientation the first arm is to couple to the bed non-orthogonally with the bed raised a first distance and with the first arm not extending below wheels of the trailer; (b) in a second orientation the first arm is to couple to the bed orthogonally with the bed being raised a second distance which is less than the first distance and with the first arm extending to a level of the bottom of the wheels, and (c) in a third orientation the first arm is to couple to the bed orthogonally with the bed being raised a third distance, which is between 0 inches and the second distance, and with the first arm extending below the wheels.

A system includes one or more processors configured to determine a discharge rate associated with discharging material from a hauling machine. In some examples, the system receives sensor data associated with a crushing machine configured to receive the material. Based on the sensor data, the system determines the discharge rate, to optimize the efficiency of the crushing machine. In some examples, the system determines the discharge rate based on input by an operator via a user interface. In some examples, the system determines an angular rate at which to raise a bed of the hauling machine to cause the material to be discharged at the discharge rate. Based on a determination to discharge material, the system causes the bed to be raised at the angular rate to discharge material. In some examples, the system may update the discharge rate based on additional sensor data and/or an additional operator input.

A dump body includes: a side plate; an exterior plate which is arranged on an outer surface side of the side plate; a suspension member which is fixed to the side plate and has a through-hole connecting a space on an inner surface side of the side plate and a space on an outer surface side of the exterior plate; a flow path which is defined in at least a part between the side plate and the exterior plate and through which an exhaust gas of an engine flows; and a heat insulation member which is arranged between the side plate and the exterior plate, the heat insulation member being configured to suppress contact between the exhaust gas and the suspension member.

A computer-implemented robot pickup method including receiving a request from a user to pick up an article at a first location. A robot having a closeable transport container is navigated to the first location. The robot opens the closeable transport container and moves the article inside the closeable transport container at the first location, and navigates over an outdoor transportation network from the first location to the second location to deliver the article to the second location.
