Mobile transport system

A mobile transport system includes a drive unit having a first drive wheel rotatable about a first drive axis and a second drive wheel rotatable about a second drive axis, the drive axes extending in a transverse direction. The drive unit includes a swivel and a drive frame. The drive frame is pivotable about a steering axis relative to the swivel. The drive unit includes a marking carrier that is disposed in a stationary manner relative to the drive frame, and on which optically detectable markings are applied. The drive unit includes a camera for detecting the markings and is disposed in a stationary manner relative to the swivel.

STEERING LINKAGE ASSEMBLY, SEAL INTEGRITY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND TEST METHOD
20250263121 · 2025-08-21 ·

A steering linkage assembly includes a steering linkage that is operatively connectable to a pair of road wheels. The steering linkage assembly also includes a housing defining a sealed compartment containing at least a portion of the steering linkage. The steering linkage assembly further includes a first sealing boot operatively coupled to the steering linkage and located proximate a first end of the housing. The steering linkage assembly yet further includes a second sealing boot operatively coupled to the steering linkage and located proximate a second end of the housing, wherein the first sealing boot has at least one distinctive characteristic relative to the second sealing boot to define non-identical sealing boots.
