The device may further include a computing device configured to automatically determine the drive parameters, and cause the plurality of motors to drive the corresponding drive assemblies in accordance with the drive parameters.

Fluid-filled track wheel for improved movement of an object across a non-planar area
11679824 · 2023-06-20 ·

A track wheel for moving an object across a surface having a non-planar obstruction to allow smoother, easier and safer movement of the object over the obstruction. The track wheel has a track frame, a first wheel assembly, a second wheel assembly and a fluid-filled track assembly. The track frame interconnects the two wheel assemblies. The track assembly encircles the two wheel assemblies and frame in an endless loop manner. A mounting assembly connects the track frame to the object. The track assembly has a track link assembly and a pair of dampener tubes in the track link assembly. The track assembly passes into and out of a shield of the wheel assemblies that cleans the track assembly.

TRACK HITCHING STRUCTURE FOR WHEELED CRANE AND WHEELED CRANE

A track hitching structure is for a wheeled crane and the wheeled crane, and includes a vehicle frame and a connecting cross beam. The first end of the connecting cross beam is connected with a track. The second end of the connecting cross beam is connected with the vehicle frame. The second end of the connecting cross beam is higher than the first end of the connecting cross beam. The vehicle frame is connected with the track by the connecting cross beam with one high end and one low end, so the long-distance force transfer from the track to the race of the vehicle frame can be handled, then the shortcomings of tedious structure, large size, large weight and the like of the connecting device caused by a horizontal connecting cross beam are avoided, and the reliability and the working performance of the entire crane are improved.
