A public works vehicle has a base, moving means supporting the base, brackets joined to the frame of the base, a lifting system suitable for lifting a counterweight. The lifting system has a first arm hinged to the frame, at least one thrust actuator connected to the frame and to the first arm to move the first arm, a second arm slidingly mounted with respect to the first arm, a lifting actuator connected to the first arm and to the second arm to move the second arm, a connection system connected to the second arm and to the counterweight.

An industrial vehicle includes a frame, a counterweight that is connected to a rear part of the frame and a drive device that drives rear wheels. The drive device includes a drive device body and a pair of damping members that is mounted to the counterweight on right and left sides of the drive device body and allows relative motion between the counterweight and the rear wheels. The counterweight has a left mounting portion and a right mounting portion that are formed by machining. The left mounting portion and the right mounting portion have a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, respectively, through which the respective damping members are mounted to the left mounting portion and the right mounting portion. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are formed coaxially with each other.

A work vehicle and energy storage device include a ballast providing ballast weight to the horizontal end of the work vehicle, a stator of an electric machine having a vertically extending axis, and a rotor of the electric machine fixed for rotation with the ballast.

A towing tractor includes a frame, a counterweight that is connected to a rear part of the frame, and a plurality of component parts supported by the frame. The frame includes a plurality of frame assemblies that are connected to each other by bolts. Each frame assembly includes a plurality of frame members. Each frame member is selected according to the component parts, from a plurality of members to be selected that is different from each other in at least one of dimensions in a longitudinal direction and a width direction of the frame.

A top link for a tractor front counterweight support linkage. The link is a fixed length elongate body having at a first end a pivoting connection with a chassis of the tractor and at a second end a slot to slidably receive an attachment bolt connectable to a tractor front counterweight. The link further includes a mechanism to selectively permit or prevent sliding movement of an attachment bolt received in the slot.

There is provided an industrial vehicle including a frame and a counterweight connected to a rear part of the frame. The frame includes a frame body and an upright wall that extends upward from the frame body. The counterweight is fastened to the upright wall by a bolt. The counterweight has an engaging portion to cover part of the upright wall and engage with the upright wall.

A utility vehicle with adjustable wheel assemblies to accommodate different weight attachments selectively engageable with the vehicle. Adjustment assemblies are provided to engage each of the front wheel assemblies. Each adjustment assembly includes a guide plate, a first arm of a first length and a second arm of a second length. The operator will select the appropriate one of the first and second arms to secure to the guide plate and to one of the front wheel assemblies. The guide plates include holes therein for locking the selected one of the arms in a particular orientation. This is accomplished by inserting a pin through an aperture in the selected first or second arm and one of the holes in the guide plate. A first end of the selected first or second arm is secured to the guide plate and a second end thereof is engaged with the associated wheel assembly.
