An access ladder assembly for a work vehicle to enable an operator to move from a ground position to a walkway of the work vehicle. A support rail includes a rail first end connected to a crossbar and a rail second end spaced from the rail first end. A slider is movably connected to the support rail to move from the rail second end toward the rail first end. An actuator includes an actuator first end connected to the crossbar and an actuator second end spaced from the actuator first end, wherein the actuator includes an extended position and a retracted position. A step is operatively connected to the actuator second end and is operatively connected to the slider, wherein the step includes a lowered position when the actuator is at the extended position and a raised position when the actuator is at the retracted position.

A bumper assembly is provided for a vehicle having a frame. The bumper assembly includes a winch cradle defining a cradle mounting aperture corresponding to a first frame aperture of the frame. A bumper member is configured to at least partially surround the winch cradle and extend laterally from the winch cradle across a portion of the vehicle. The bumper member defines a bumper mounting aperture corresponding to a second frame aperture. The winch cradle is configured to couple to the vehicle frame independent of the bumper member and the bumper member is configured to couple to the vehicle frame independent of the winch cradle.

A moveable link for an active exterior component on a vehicle. The moveable link provides a sealed connection between the outer link and the base link and fixed link. This sealed connection prevents debris from contaminating the area where the outer link rotates about the pin, thereby preventing unwanted noises. Furthermore, the sealed connection also prevent corrosion between the outer link and the pin, which can lead to failure of the moveable link.

A concrete mixer vehicle includes a chassis, a cab, a mixer drum assembly coupled to the chassis, a ladder assembly, and an assist assembly. The chassis includes a front end and a rear end. The ladder assembly includes an upper ladder portion and a lower ladder portion. The upper ladder portion is fixed in position relative to the chassis. The lower ladder portion is pivotally coupled to the upper ladder portion and selectively repositionable between (a) a stowed position in which the lower ladder portion is disposed along the upper ladder portion and (b) a lowered position in which the lower ladder portion extends away from the upper ladder portion. The assist assembly is coupled to the upper ladder portion and the lower ladder portion. The assist assembly configured to resist the rotation of the lower ladder portion as it transitions from the stowed position to the lowered position.

A step device for a vehicle includes a movable step and a coupling member. The movable step includes a guide rail. The coupling member is configured to cause the movable step to move from a deployed position to a retracted position as a engaging part comes into sliding contact with a side wall of the guide rail that is located on an inner side in a vehicle width direction and, while pressing the side wall, moves inside the guide rail in a direction of closing a sliding door. The guide rail is configured such that a terminal end region on a closing side including a terminal end position at which the engaging part is located when the sliding door is fully closed constitutes a closing-side free running zone in which the engaging part does not press either of the side walls.

An all-in-one vehicle running board includes a panel, a mounting part connected to a vehicle body, and a transmission part connecting the panel with the mounting part. The transmission part drives the panel to extend or retract. The transmission part includes at least two transmission mechanisms, one of which is provided with a drive mechanism. The mounting part includes an integral mounting bracket connected to the vehicle body and connection assemblies connecting the integral mounting bracket with the transmission mechanism. The vehicle running board can be conveniently integrally mounted onto the lower body panel of the vehicle via the integral mounting bracket and is stable in use. In addition, use of a main transmission mechanism in combination with an auxiliary transmission mechanism(s) prevents the running board from getting stuck when the drive mechanism fails, thereby allowing for more flexible and convenient use of the running board.
