An assembly for enabling rotational motion in a vehicle or mobile working machine is disclosed which includes at least two sections arranged in an overlying position relative to the vehicle's or working machine's working surface. A top section can be led to motion relative to a bottom section and a longitudinal rotation axis, the top section and the bottom section being movably coupled to each other by at least one trajectory element which generates a curvilinear trajectory. The relative motion of the top section and the bottom section proceeds along a curvilinear trajectory in a section plane which is perpendicular relative to the lengthwise rotation axis. The trajectory can be at least partly in the shape of a circular arc, the midpoint of this curvilinear trajectory being disposed below the bottom section. An actuator mounted on the vehicle or working machine affects the top section and/or the bottom section.

A suspension system for a work vehicle includes a rear suspension assembly that includes a first shock absorber assembly and a second shock absorber assembly, such that each of the first and second shock absorber assemblies has a first end that couples to a cab of the work vehicle and a second end that couples to a chassis of the work vehicle. The rear suspension assembly further includes a brace extending laterally between the first end of the first shock absorber assembly and the first end of the second shock absorber assembly relative to a direction of travel of the work vehicle, such that the first end of the first shock absorber assembly and the first end of the second shock absorber assembly are coupled to the brace. In addition, the rear suspension assembly includes a longitudinal tie rod oriented substantially longitudinally along the direction of travel of the work vehicle, such that the longitudinal tie rod has a first end rotatably coupled to the brace and a second end configured to rotatably couple to the chassis of the work vehicle. The first end of the first shock absorber assembly and the first end of the second shock absorber assembly decouple from the cab without decoupling the brace from the first end of the first shock absorber assembly and the first end of the second shock absorber assembly.

A cargo box adapted for receipt inside a side panel of a pickup truck and the cargo box adapted for receipt inside a cargo box container received over a wheel well in a back of the pickup truck. The subject cargo box includes a horizontal tool shelf attached to a vertical back plate. A pair of spaced apart vertical slides are attached to the back plate and are received through slide openings in a slide frame. The slide frame is mounted on a pair of slide frame legs. The slide frame legs rest on top of a pickup bed floor. A Fob operated telescoping actuator is attached to a side of the back plate for raising the cargo box above the top of the side panel and lowering the cargo box inside the side panel.

An autonomous transport vehicle includes a vehicle body that includes a traveling wheel, is configured to enter a lower side of a transported object, and is configured to travel while towing the transported object, and a weight acting portion configured to cause, in a case where a total weight of the transported object is larger than a predetermined weight, a partial weight of the total weight equal to or less than the predetermined weight to act on the vehicle body from the transported object.

An auxiliary axle or lift axle is pivotally mounted to the frame of a vehicle for selectively providing additional flotation for the vehicle. A pair of frame brackets are secured to the frame members of the vehicle and have horizontally disposed mounting plates adjacent to the lower ends thereof. A bracket member extends downwardly from one end of the mounting plate and has a pair of spaced-apart slots formed therein. A bracket member also extends downwardly from the other end of the frame bracket and has a pair of spaced-apart first and second slots formed therein. The hanger brackets are adjustably secured to the bracket members to permit the axle assembly to be mounted on frame members having varying distances therebetween and having varying frame thicknesses. The novel method of securing the hanger brackets to the frame brackets is also disclosed.

An air spring for a cab of a heavy truck with automatic height adjustment, in which the air spring is provided between the cab and a frame of a truck and supports the cab with a pressure of air filling in the air spring, includes a canister in which an internal space is formed, and a piston movably mounted in the internal space of the canister and configured to ascend and descend relative to the canister. A port opening unit is provided adjacent to an intake port and an exhaust port of the piston, respectively. When the cab ascends or descends, each of the port opening units comes into contact with guides, each having an inclined surface, formed in the canister to open either the intake port or the exhaust port.
