A fire apparatus includes a chassis, a ladder assembly having a proximal end pivotably coupled to the chassis and a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a basket pivotably coupled to the distal end. The basket includes a subfloor assembly and a floor panel coupled to a top surface of the subfloor assembly and configured to support a user. The subfloor assembly includes a front member and a rear member each extending in a first direction, an inner member extending from the front member to the rear member, and an outer member having a first end portion coupled to the rear member and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. The front member and the rear member are offset a distance from one another in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The inner member extends substantially parallel to the outer member.

The subfloor assembly includes a front member and a rear member each extending in a first direction, an inner member extending from the front member to the rear member, an outer member having a first end portion coupled to the rear member, and an angled member extending from a second end portion of the outer member to the front member. The front member and the rear member are offset a distance from one another in a second direction. The outer member is shorter than the distance such that the angled member extends at an angle relative to the front member.

A transaxle of a rail vehicle includes: a power assembly; an axle body; a running wheel; a guiding frame; a horizontal wheel; and a connecting rod component, including a first transverse pull rod and a second transverse pull rod, where when the rail vehicle turns left, the horizontal wheel cooperates with a rail beam to drive the guiding frame to swing and drive the first transverse pull rod to move together, and the second transverse pull rod is driven by the first transverse pull rod to drive the running wheel to swing to the left, and when the rail vehicle turns right, the horizontal wheel cooperates with the rail beam to drive the guiding frame to swing and drive the first transverse pull rod to move together, and the second transverse pull rod is driven by the first transverse pull rod to drive the running wheel to swing to the right.

A vehicle and a hydraulic propulsion system for the vehicle are provided with first and second motors diagonally arranged relative to one another on the vehicle, and third and fourth motors diagonally arranged relative to one another on the vehicle. First, second and third flow divider combiner assemblies are provided and are arranged in a closed fluid loop with the motors. A first port of each of the assemblies are fluidly connected to one another. The first assembly has a second port fluidly coupled to the first and second motors, and a third port fluidly coupled to the third and fourth motors. The second assembly has second and third ports fluidly coupled to the first and third motors, respectively. The third assembly has second and third ports fluidly coupled to the second and fourth motors, respectively. A method of controlling the hydraulic system is also provided.

An automated guided vehicle (AGV) that is configured to operate with a navigation and guidance system includes a base frame structure that supports a material handling apparatus. Casters may be attached at peripheral portions of the base frame structure to movably support the base frame structure away from a ground surface. Drive wheel assemblies may be disposed between two of the casters and configured to propel and steer the AGV. A suspension system may have intersecting swing arms that are pivotally mounted at the base frame structure and independently attach at each of the drive wheel assemblies. The suspension system biases the drive wheel assemblies against the ground surface to maintain friction of the drive wheel assemblies against the ground surface, such as for traversing sloped or uneven surfaces.

A drill rig with a steering system may include a substructure having a wheelhouse, a drill floor arranged atop the substructure, a mast extending upwardly and above the drill floor, and a steering system arranged within the wheelhouse. The steering system may include a wheel assembly comprising an electric motor configured for driving rotational motion of a wheel, a deployment device configuring for deploying the wheel assembly to carry the drill rig, and a steering mechanism configured for selective engagement with the wheel assembly and rotating the wheel assembly.

A lift device includes a wheel assembly coupled to a frame. The wheel assembly includes a rim having an inner barrel, an outer barrel, and a lip defining a first surface and a second surface. The lift device also includes an adapter plate and an axle having a first end coupled to the frame and a second end including a hub. The adapter plate includes a barrel portion defining a first face and a second face, a hub portion directly coupled to the hub, and a transition portion extending between the barrel portion and the hub portion. The second surface of the lip engages the first face of the barrel portion when the wheel assembly is in a first configuration and the second face of the barrel portion when the wheel assembly is in a second configuration thereby reducing a track width of the lift device.
