Dump Truck
A dump truck includes an engine provided in an engine compartment, and a pair of fenders provided at a rear side of the engine compartment and provided at a distance in the vehicle width direction. The dump truck includes the fender having a fender inclination plate extending so as to incline downward along a rear portion of each front wheel, and a shield portion having a shield inclination plate inclined downward while directing rearward between the pair of fenders and both ends of which in the vehicle width direction are connected to the respective fenders.
Trailer and housing system
A housing and trailer system comprising a trailer and a housing. The housing includes a lower housing and an upper housing and may be positioned on friction-reducing members that reduce friction between the housing and trailer. The reduction of friction facilitates the housing to slide more efficiently on the trailer. A safety lever and linkage system operates to safely move roof support structures and raise/lower the upper housing. An adjustable cargo system is attached to a roof on the housing. The adjustable cargo system is adjustable to receive and/or secure different sizes of cargo.
Apparatus and methods for powered trailer dollies
Power dollies can be used for moving moveable objects such as trailers. A power dolly could include a frame, a mount and a plurality of wheel sets. The mount could couple the power dolly to a moveable object. One or more of the plurality of wheels sets could be powered. The plurality of wheels sets could be separated into a primary wheel set and one or more support wheel sets. The wheels of the primary wheel set could extend farther from the frame that the wheels of the support wheel sets.
RECREATIONAL OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE WITH VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE
A recreational off-highway vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a plurality of wheels, a drive source, a vehicle body and a pair of headlights. The vehicle frame includes a front frame, a rear frame and an intermediate frame defining an open passenger compartment between the front and rear frames. The wheels support the vehicle frame. At least one of the wheels is a drive wheel. The drive source supported by the vehicle frame. The vehicle body is provided to the vehicle frame. The vehicle body includes a front grille panel that has an air intake area defined by a plurality of intake air openings. The headlights are located primarily at a middle point of the front grille panel with respect to a vertical direction of the recreational off-highway vehicle.
TRACTOR WITH WHEEL HOUSING
A tractor includes a supporting structure, a cab coupled to the supporting structure, and a rear axle oriented in a transverse direction and being mounted to the supporting structure. A first portion of the tractor on a cab side and a second portion of the tractor on a supporting structure side proximate to the rear axle delimits a wheel housing for a rear wheel. The wheel housing includes a gap at least partially covered by a cover at least in the transverse direction.
Rear fender assemblies for a work vehicle
A track work vehicle includes a track system including a drive wheel supported by an axle housing that drives a continuous ground-engaging track, a saddle assembly that guides the track about the drive wheel and an undercarriage frame that supports one or more idler wheels that guide the track along a ground surface. The track work vehicle further includes a fender assembly that includes at least one fender coupled to the axle housing to overlap a portion of the track.
Trailer underbody fairing system
The present disclosure pertains to fairings for use on a trailer having a movable bogie. In one implementation, panels of the fairing extend at least to a rear termination point of the movable bogie and include a slim hinge to prevent interference with a pair of wheels coupled to the bogie. Accordingly, implementations of the present disclosure include a fairing that allows for translation of the movable bogie, while also providing panel coverage up to and beyond a pair of wheels coupled to the bogie regardless of the bogie position relative to the trailer.
Controlled axle release mechanism for a truck trailer attenuator
A crash attenuation system having an improved, controlled axle release mechanism for a truck trailer mounted attenuator. The axle release mechanism has an axle release insert disposed within an outer bursting tube which is urged downstream by a mandrel resulting in controlled shearing of the fasteners passing through different size elongated slots in the insert and retaining the insert within the bursting tube. Differential shear forces cause the fasteners to shear at different times as the insert is urged downstream resulting in a controlled release of the breakaway axle assembly.
Automotive tray and assembly method
The present invention provides a method for assembling an automotive tray assembly. The method involves capping at least one edge of a load-bearing tray to provide a safe edge and/or aesthetically pleasing finish. Preferably, the method involves using fasteners, including bolts or rivets for example, without the need for welding.
