A working equipment assembly arranged to be mounted to a vehicle. The working equipment assembly includes a lift-frame connection arrangement including connection 5 lines adapted to connect control and operating systems to the lift-frame, and an elongated rigid structure configured to guide, protect and at least partly enclose the connection lines over a predetermined length. The rigid structure is pivotably attached to the vehicle by a connection joint at a connection attachment position, and the connection attachment position is close to, and within a predetermined distance from, the arm attachment 10 position, so that the elongated rigid structure is arranged to follow the movement of the movable arm, when the working equipment is operated in the lift-frame mode, and structured to stow at least a part of the connection lines along the longitudinal axis A of the vehicle when the working equipment is operated in the attachment member mode.

A center lower frame connection for a space frame comprising an outer lift cylinder connection boss, an inner drop tube connection boss, a center cylinder between the outer lift cylinder connection boss and the inner drop tube connection boss, a suspension connection boss, an outer rearward angular center lower frame tube connection boss, an inner rearward angular center lower frame tube connection boss, a vertical center lower frame tube connection boss, a forward angular center lower frame tube connection boss, an outer forward horizontal center lower frame tube connection boss, and an inner forward horizontal center lower frame tube connection boss. The outer lift cylinder connection boss, the inner drop tube connection boss, and the center cylinder can have a common center axis. The center lower frame connection can also have a rearward angular beam and a forward horizontal beam.

A system for delivering packages from a warehouse to end destinations, the system comprising a fleet of containers, each configured to be loaded at the warehouse with packages destined for drop off points at end destinations. A fleet of delivery vehicles are configured to transport the containers from the warehouse to an end destination. At least one delivery robot is carried with each container and the delivery robot is configured to carry at least one package from the container at the end destination to the drop off point.

The disclosure provides a delivery vehicle. The delivery vehicle may be automated for delivering one or more containers to a delivery location and unloading the one or more containers at that location. The vehicle includes a vehicle body defining a bay therein. The vehicle also includes a plurality of container hangers mounted within the bay and an automated unloading arm movable between a retracted arm position and an extended arm position. The arm is at least partially received in the bay in the retracted arm position and extends from the body in the extended arm position. The unloading arm comprises at least one container carrying member, such as at least one hook, longitudinally movable along the unloading arm for selective longitudinal alignment with each of the plurality of hangers.

A self-contained truck-mounted brick laying machine can include a frame that can support packs or pallets of bricks placed on a platform. A transfer robot can pick up and move the brick(s). A carousel can be coaxial with a tower. The carousel can transfer the brick(s) via the tower to an articulated and/or telescoping boom. The bricks can be moved along the boom by, e.g., linearly moving shuttles, to reach a brick laying and adhesive applying head. The brick laying and adhesive applying head can mount to an element of the stick, about an axis which is disposed horizontally. The poise of the brick laying and adhesive applying head about the axis can be adjusted and can be set in use so that the base of a clevis of the robotic arm mounts about a horizontal axis, and the tracker component is disposed uppermost on the brick laying and adhesive applying head. The brick laying and adhesive applying head can apply adhesive to the brick and can have a robot that lays the brick. Vision and laser scanning and tracking systems can be provided to allow the measurement of as-built slabs, bricks, the monitoring and adjustment of the process and the monitoring of safety zones. The first, or any course of bricks can have the bricks pre machined by the router module so that the top of the course is level once laid.

The invention relates to a loading arm assembly (8) for a load-handling vehicle (1), having a main arm (9), having an auxiliary arm (11), having a crossbeam (19), having two corner grippers (24, 25), wherein the auxiliary arm (11) is disposed on the main arm (9), wherein the crossbeam (19) is disposed on the end of the auxiliary arm (11), wherein the corner grippers (24, 25) are each disposed on the ends of the crossbeam (19). The loading arm assembly (8) is improved in that the crossbeam (19) is pivotable relative to the auxiliary arm (11) about two axes (48, 49).

A farm implement includes a frame, a container mounted on the frame, an intake housing rotatably connected to a front wall of the container proximate to a discharge opening, a first auger assembly, and a second auger assembly. The first auger assembly is disposed in the container and conveys agricultural material through the discharge opening. The second auger assembly is rotatably connected to an outlet of the intake housing and includes an inlet that receives agricultural material from the intake housing and an outlet that discharges agricultural material. The farm implement further includes a first mounting assembly and a second mounting assembly disposed along the front wall. The second auger assembly is mounted on one of the first and second mounting assemblies at an operating position, without being mounted to the other one of the first and second mounting assemblies.

A grapple truck with side loader having a generally J-shaped scoop in a lateral recess of the truck bed sidewall. Sometimes loader is longitudinally truncated forming an adjacent debris-bin vertical transport. The power lift system is either a direct lift-pivot with cylinder lifters or a channel-guided lifter with candy-cane shaped channels. Side loader rises from a low, manual loading position to an upper inverted dump position whereat loader displaces debris into truck bed box. Scoop's loader edge is planarly coextensive or inboard truck sidewall, and at or beneath the truck wheel axis line. A chassis mounted, articulated boom, with longitudinally extending arm segments, terminates in a grapple jaw. The articulated boom and grapple jaw has a longitudinally foreshortened stored position in and above the truck bed. In multiple operative positions, the arm extends beyond the truck bed and rear bed wall and laterally over and beyond truck sidewalls.
