A lift system for supporting cargo on a vehicle comprising a vehicle frame, the lift system comprising a cargo platform assembly and a displacement system. The displacement system comprises a lift frame assembly, a drive system, at least one drive link assembly, and at least one stabilizer link assembly. Operation of the drive system causes axial rotation of the at least one drive axle. Axial rotation of the at least one drive axle causes the at least one drive link assembly to pivot about the drive axle axis. Pivoting of the at least one drive link assembly the drive axle axis displaces the cargo platform between a stowed configuration and a lowered configuration. Displacement of the cargo platform between the stowed configuration and the lowered configuration causes rotation of the at least one stabilizer link assembly.

The invention relates to a vehicle comprising a tiltable material collecting container which is suspended in a tilt axle running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a telescoping device. The tilt axle runs in a plane of symmetry of the material collecting container. The frame-side ends of the telescope arms are pivotably attached to the frame in the central plane. At least one rotary drive is arranged on the container-side end of at least one telescope arm to enable a rotation of the material collecting container about the tile axle. At least one pivot drive, which enables pivoting of the telescope arms out of the center plane of the vehicle in both angular directions, is provided.

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, a boom pivotally coupled to the chassis, a first leveling assembly pivotally coupled to a first end of the chassis, a second leveling assembly pivotally coupled to an opposing second end of the chassis, and a control system. The first leveling assembly includes a first pair of actuators positioned to facilitate a first pitch adjustment and a first roll adjustment of the first end of the chassis. The second leveling assembly includes a second pair of actuators positioned to facilitate a second pitch adjustment and a second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis. The control system is configured to (i) actively control the first pair of actuators and the second pair of actuators during a first mode of operation, and (ii) actively control the first pair of actuators and facilitate passive control of the second pair of actuators during a second mode of operation.

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.

A dumper vehicle includes: a frame comprising a front end and a rear end; front and rear wheels mounted to the frame; an operator seat mounted to the frame; and an open topped container for carrying a load therein mounted to the frame between the front and rear wheels, wherein the container is moveable between a transport position for transporting a load and a discharge position for discharging of a load; wherein the container defines an upper extent thereof, and wherein said upper extent of the container decreases in height with respect to a lower extent of the wheels towards the front end of the frame, when the container is in the transport position.

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.
