An ingress/egress arrangement for a machine comprises an operator cabin and a walkway system outside the operator cabin. The operator cabin can include a plurality of posts, including first post and a second post, and a door rotatably coupled to the first post so as to be movable between at a fully open position and at a fully closed position. An opening in the operator cabin between the first post and the second post defines a first operator ingress/egress point. The walkway system provides operator access to inside the operator cabin via the door and the opening, and provides operator access to outside the operator cabin. The door, in the fully open position, can restrict operator access toward a front of the machine and can allow operator access simultaneously to the walkway system and a second operator ingress/egress point.

A vehicle cab access assembly for easier and safer egress and ingress includes a step fairing, which is mountable to a respective side of a vehicle, such as a cab over engine vehicle, so that the step fairing is positioned below a door positioned in a cab of the vehicle. The step fairing comprises three steps and facilitates egress and ingress to the cab of the vehicle.

A ladder for a flat bed truck which is movably secured to one side of the flat bed truck. The ladder is selectively movable between a horizontally disposed stowed position beneath one side of the flat bed of the flat bed truck to an upstanding position outwardly of the one side of the flat bed of the truck.

There is provided a sidestep platform servo/electrical removal mechanism, a running board with a step that is operably removable without tools.

A trailer mountable portable ladder assembly includes a base plate having an upper surface and a lower surface. A post is attached to and extends downwardly from the lower surface and is sized to be removably extended into a stake pocket. A fastening member is mechanically mounted in the post. The fastening member is actuated to frictionally engage an inner surface of the stake pocket to releasably retain the post in the stake pocket. A ladder is attached to the base plate.

The invention exhibits an apparatus for improving the aerodynamics of a commercial vehicle having a cab with doors and below-situated footboards for climbing in and out, and having a front panel in which air inlets are present, wherein the air inlets are connected, via air ducts in or on the panel, to the front wheel case of the commercial vehicle and to an air outlet, wherein the at least one footboard of the cab can be folded away and has at least one through-flow region in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

Disclosed herein is a drag link stand which releasably couples to a spring and drag link of a vehicle. A top surface of the drag link stand comprises a slip resistant surface to help prevent falls. The top surface also provides full foot support to reduce the chance of foot thrombosis. A spring flange extends from a rear of the top surface and engages the spring. A drag link flange extends downward from the top surface and engages the drag link. The drag link stand employs a unibody construction and has no moving parts which provides additional durability.

A crane includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body that is turnably provided on the lower traveling body, a counterweight that is mounted on the upper turning body, and a ladder for getting on and off the upper turning body. The ladder has an engagement member that is able to be engaged with and disengaged from an engaged portion provided at the upper turning body, a support portion that supports the engagement member, and a following mechanism that is interposed between the engagement member and the support portion. When the engaged portion in a state of being engaged with the engagement member is moved downward with work of mounting the counterweight, the following mechanism causes the engagement member to follow downward movement of the engaged portion.

A quick disconnect mechanism for a detachable stair system for vehicles. The apparatus includes mounting brackets for installation at either side of a doorway in a recreational vehicle such as motorhome, camping trailer, or camper on a pickup truck. Fixed plates in the form of open jaw brackets are provided at each side of a sill cover plate, to enable operation of a pivotable detachable stair portion. The open jaw of the fixed plates are pivotable about pivot studs located in the mounting brackets. The fixed plates further include an arcuate channel defined radially outward from the pivots studs. The arcuate slot is sized and shaped for engagement with a pivot lock also located on the mounting brackets. The pivot locks extend inward for sliding operation with the arcuate slot, but not so far inward as to interfere with the pivoting motion of the sill cover plate. A slide latch is provided, with a latch tongue sized and shaped for interfitting mating engagement in a latch slot located one or both of the mounting brackets, to secure the detachable stair portion when the stairs are not being used.
