LEVELING SYSTEM FOR LIFT DEVICE
A leveling assembly for a lift device includes a carrier arm, an axle, a first actuator, and a second actuator. The carrier arm includes a base that defines a first interface configured to pivotally couple the carrier arm to a chassis of the lift device to facilitate a pitch adjustment of the leveling assembly, a projection that defines a second interface, and a transition that extends angularly between the base and the projection such that the projection is elevated relative to the base. The axle defines a third interface positioned to engage with the second interface to pivotally couple the axle to the carrier arm to facilitate a roll adjustment of the leveling assembly. The first actuator is pivotally coupled to a first lateral end of the axle. The second actuator is pivotally coupled to an opposing second lateral end of the axle.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOVEMENT OF IMPLEMENT
A system for controlling a movement of an implement during a dump operation is provided. The system includes a payload detection module associated with the implement. The payload detection module is configured to generate a signal indicative of a current weight of payload in the implement. The payload detection module determines the current weight of payload during a controlled lifting motion of the implement. The system also includes a control module communicably coupled to the payload detection module.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED LOADING AND UNLOADING FOR DELIVERY VEHICLES
A vehicle including a plurality of first motorized tiles and a vehicle elevator is disclosed. The plurality of first motorized tiles may be disposed in a vehicle interior portion. The plurality of first motorized tiles may be configured to move and secure a first bin of a first size and a second bin of a second size. The vehicle elevator may include a second motorized tile and a set of third motorized tiles. The second motorized tile may be configured to receive the second bin from the plurality of first motorized tiles and secure the second bin. The second motorized tile may be of a third size. Further, each third motorized tile may be configured to receive the first bin from the plurality of first motorized tiles and secure the first bin. Each third motorized tile may be of a fourth size.

Agricultural vehicle conveyance linkage
In one example, a conveyance system comprises a conveyance mechanism and a linkage configured to movably couple the conveyance mechanism to a vehicle, wherein the conveyance mechanism is coupled to the linkage at a first connection mechanism and configured to pivot about a pivot point. The conveyance system comprises a vertical movement mechanism configured to move the first connection mechanism in a substantially vertical direction, and a tilt movement mechanism comprising a tilt actuator configured to pivot the conveyance mechanism about the pivot point. A second connection mechanism couples the tilt actuator to one of the conveyance mechanism or the linkage and allows a defined range of tilt movement of the conveyance mechanism that is independent of actuation of the tilt actuator.
Side tipper system
A side tipper system for a vehicle includes a container for carrying material and selectively discharging carried material. The container includes a container body defining an upper portion of a first side wall, a second side wall opposing the first side wall, and a pair of opposing end walls; a floor pivotally coupled to the second side wall; and a side door pivotally coupled to the floor and defining a lower portion of the first side wall in a closed position and forming a discharge opening in an open position. The system further includes end assemblies configured to be mounted to a vehicle chassis at respective ends of the container, each end assembly operatively coupled to the container for supporting the container and for controlling discharge of material by: moving the side door from the closed position to the open position; and lifting the container body relative to the chassis.

Refuse container identification using parcel data
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.
