A trailing axle suspension system is disclosed comprising an auxiliary chassis, an axle suspension system suspending a trailing axle from the auxiliary chassis, and an auxiliary chassis system suspending the auxiliary chassis from the chassis of a motor vehicle. With the auxiliary chassis suspension system including a pair of suspension arms supporting the auxiliary chassis for pivotal movement and adapted to be pivotally connected to the motor vehicle chassis. And with the axle suspension system and auxiliary chassis suspension system adapted to cooperatively establish the auxiliary chassis and trailing axle in a stowed condition on the motor vehicle and establish the auxiliary chassis and trailing axle in a deployed condition at a location rearward of the motor vehicle chassis and then forcibly cause the auxiliary chassis to help support the motor vehicle chassis with the trailing axle. And wherein the auxiliary chassis suspension system includes a load-bearing member that is separate from the pivotal support of the auxiliary chassis rigidly joining the suspension arms and adapted to engage the auxiliary chassis in establishing the deployed condition and bear a major portion of the force causing the auxiliary chassis to help support the motor vehicle chassis with the trailing axle.

A vehicle with an expandable space, may include a fixed floor being a floor of the vehicle; a moving floor slidably inserted into the fixed floor, being slid inside or outside the vehicle by operation of a driving unit, and forming the expanding space outside the vehicle by forming an outside floor connected to the fixed floor when sliding out; and assistant wheel assemblies, each having an assistant wheel that comes in contact with the ground when deployed and that separates from the ground when stowed.

A trailer includes a trailer frame having a hitch. A stationary support base is joined to the trailer frame. Two supports are slidably guided on the support base toward and away from each other. A wheel assembly is mounted to an end of each of the supports remote from the other support such that a distance between the wheel assemblies varies with movement of the supports on the support base. A locking device selectively locks each support to the support base in a first position where the wheel assemblies are furthest from each other and a second position where the wheel assemblies are closer to each other.

A retractable wheel and/or track drive assembly for an amphibian comprising an actuator, a retraction linkage assembly movable between a protracted position and a retracted position, a suspension assembly at least partially connected to the retraction linkage assembly and movable between a protracted position and a retracted position, and at least one wheel and/or track drive, wherein when the retraction linkage assembly and the suspension assembly are protracted then the retraction linkage and/or suspension assembly supports and/or holds at least one wheel and/or track drive in a ground engaging position for use on land.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, a plurality of traveling devices disposed on the right and left sides on the front and rear sides of the vehicle body respectively, a plurality of bending link mechanisms configured to liftably support each one of the traveling devices to the vehicle body and a plurality of drive operating devices capable of changing the posture of each one of the plurality of bending link mechanisms. The vehicle body is split into a front side body section and a rear side body section. The front side body section and the rear side body section are configured to be bendably pivotable relative to each other via a pivot interlocking mechanism.

A bogie for a forestry vehicle is disclosed that includes a bogie body, which has a first wheel hub for arrangement of a first wheel and a second wheel hub for arrangement of a second wheel. The bogie includes a swing arm pivotably hinged at a first end portion on the bogie body, and at a second end portion has a wheel hub for arrangement of a center wheel between the first wheel and the second wheel. The bogie further includes a spring and/or damper element, which at one end portion is hinged on the bogie body and at the other end portion is hinged on the second end portion of the swing arm and by means of which the swing arm is capable of being applied with force. A vehicle, in particular a forestry vehicle, is also disclosed having at least one bogie axle with such a bogie.

A suspension component includes a suspension spring, a screw actuator that is operable to compress and decompress the suspension spring upon supply of electrical power to the screw actuator, and locking structure that engages a portion of the screw actuator to restrain motion of the screw actuator to maintain a current degree of compression of the suspension spring.

A crane, in particular a pick and carry crane, may have a front chassis with front wheels and a back chassis with back wheels, the front chassis being articulated relative to the back chassis so that the crane can travel whilst carrying a load suspended from a boom. The back and front wheels have independent suspensions which are capable of connection to one another so that movement of a left wheel influences movement of a right wheel, thereby improving the handing of the crane, particularly over rough terrain.

An active mechanical safety device for the compensation of the impacts on a vehicle, comprising a connecting element configured to be constrained to a suspended mass of a vehicle, a respective adjustment element configured to be constrained to the suspended mass and to be positioned between the connecting element and a respective shock absorber element of said vehicle, wherein the adjustment element, following an external stress to which the vehicle is subjected, is movable between a first position, wherein the adjustment element is configured to approach the connecting element to the shock absorber element, and a second position, wherein the adjustment element is configured to move the connecting element away from the shock absorber element.

The present application relates to a technical field of a balancing scooter, particularly discloses an auxiliary riding device, a balancing scooter and an auxiliary riding method for the balancing scooter. The auxiliary riding device includes a mounting base, a stop block, a braking mechanism and an auxiliary mechanism; the auxiliary mechanism includes a swinging arm rotatably connected to the mounting base and an auxiliary member connected to the swinging arm; the swinging arm has a released state and a contraction state; the stop block has a locked state engaged with the swinging arm and an unlocked state separated from the swinging arm.
