A trailer lift that rises to high levels that may tilt for loading and unloading. The trailer lift includes a lift-and-tilt mechanism, a trailer base, and a trailer platform. The lift-and-tilt mechanism includes a lower-strut link, an upper-strut link, a support member, a lower lift cylinder, and an upper cylinder. The lower-strut link and the upper-strut link are pivotably and terminally attached to each other. The support member is positioned offset to the lower-strut link and is pivotably attached to the upper-strut link to guide the upper-strut link. The trailer platform is terminally and pivotably connected to the upper-strut link. Similarly, the trailer base is pivotably and terminally connected to the lower-strut link and the support member. The upper lift cylinder is pivotably mounted in between the upper-strut link and the trailer platform. The lower lift cylinder is pivotably mounted between the upper-strut link and the lower-strut link.

A dumping vehicle includes a vehicle elevation system for elevating a body of a vehicle. The system can use one or more components of a vehicle as a main support against which a vehicle body is elevated. In certain examples, a suspension device of the vehicle can be used as the main support. The system further includes an elevation device arranged between the suspension device and a vehicle frame and configured to elevate the vehicle body by lifting the vehicle frame against the suspension device.

Techniques are described for correlating entity identification information with refuse containers being serviced by a refuse collection vehicle (RCV). Location data can be collected by location sensor(s) on the RCV at a time when a triggering condition is present, such as a time when a lift arm is operating to empty a refuse container into the hopper of the RCV. The location data can be provided as input to an algorithm that estimates a container location through a vector offset to account for the distance and direction of the RCV lift arm relative to the location sensor in the RCV. The container location can be correlated with parcel data to determine the parcel that the container was on or near to when it was serviced, and the customer or other entity associated with the parcel can be correlated to the particular container based on the analysis.

A gas can lifting assembly for lifting and tilting a gas can includes a cart that may be rolled along the support surface. A lift is coupled to the cart and the lift is selectively manipulated. A basket is pivotally coupled to the lift such that the lift selectively lifts and lowers the basket. A gas can is selectively positioned in the basket. In this way the gas can may be selectively lifted and lowered for refueling a machine. The basket is selectively positioned in a first position having the basket being horizontally oriented. Additionally, the basket is selectively positioned in a second position having the basket being tilted to pour gasoline from the gas can.

A lift device includes a chassis having a first end and an opposing second end, a first actuator coupled to the first end, a second actuator coupled to the first end, a third actuator coupled to the opposing second end; and a fourth actuator coupled to the opposing second end. The first actuator and the second actuator are selectively engageable to facilitate providing active control of a first pitch adjustment and a first roll adjustment of the first end of the chassis. The third actuator and the fourth actuator are (i) selectively fluidly couplable to facilitate providing passive control of a second pitch adjustment and a second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis and (ii) selectively fluidly decouplable to facilitate providing active control of the second pitch adjustment and the second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis.
