Semitrailer landing gear controller assembly
A semitrailer landing gear controller assembly for automating the extension and retraction of a semitrailer landing gear using an external input of pressurized air. The device includes a primary member designed to receive and rotate a removable secondary member installed over a turning axle for a semitrailer landing gear, where rotation of the turning axle corresponds to the extension or retraction of a semitrailer landing gear depending on the direction of rotation. The primary member further including a turbine designed to drive rotation of the secondary member with the force of pressurized air obtained from an external input of pressurized air, like the supply line from a semitrailer.

Systems for stabilizing a vehicle and method for stabilizing a vehicle
The invention relates to methods and systems for stabilisation of a vehicle with a chassis including a rear wheel bogie, a pendulum shaft rotatable through rotary bearings around an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a tipping arrangement on which a crane is arranged, and a stabilisation arrangement having first and second hydraulic stabilisation actuators in the rear wheel bogie. The tipping arrangement includes a rotating disk and rotary bearings, such that the rotating disk and crane are rotatable around a vertical axis, and first and second hydraulic tipping actuators in connection with the rotating disk, that can be rotated around a horizontal axis. The first stabilisation actuator and first tipping actuator are in fluid-mediated connection, and the second stabilisation actuator and second tipping actuator are in fluid-mediated connection. The stabilisation actuators are controlled based on the pressure at the tipping actuators.

Leaning control scheme for a fire apparatus
A fire apparatus includes a chassis, a body assembly, a front cabin, a front axle, at least one rear axle, a ladder assembly having a proximal end that is coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the at least one rear axle, a stability system, and a controller. The stability system includes a pair of front downriggers, a pair of rear downriggers, and an outrigger assembly coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the at least one rear axle. The front and rear downriggers are selectively extendable to engage a ground surface. The outrigger assembly includes a pair of outriggers that are selectively extendable from the body assembly to engage the ground surface. The controller is configured to facilitate controlling extension and retraction of the front downriggers, the rear downriggers, and the outriggers to lean the fire apparatus.
Drivable working machine and method for operating same
This disclosure relates to a drivable working machine, including a vehicle, a concrete placing boom that can be rotated on a vehicle-fixed carrying structure by means of a slewing gear, and a plurality of supporting legs arranged on the carrying structure for supporting the carrying structure in a working position. A compensation device is provided to compensate a rotational deflection of the carrying structure from the working position. The compensation device has a sensing unit for sensing the rotational deflection and acts on at least one supporting leg by means of an associated actuator to reduce the rotational deflection.
