Lift axle systems for use with trucks and other heavy duty vehicles are described herein. In some embodiments, lift axle systems configured in accordance with the present technology include upper and lower control arms on each side of the vehicle that operably couple an axle to a support system attached to the vehicle chassis. The upper control arm has a first end portion pivotally attached to a support system bracket at an upper bracket location, and a second end portion pivotally attached to the axle at an upper axle location. The lower control arm has a first end portion pivotally attached to the support system bracket at a lower bracket location, and a second end portion pivotally attached to the axle at a lower axle location. In some embodiments, the upper and lower bracket locations lie in a vertical plane that extends parallel to the vertical and longitudinal axes of the vehicle, and the upper axle location is spaced apart from the lower axle location in a lateral direction that extends parallel to the lateral axis of the vehicle.

A cab support assembly supports and moves an operator's cab relative to a frame of a construction machine. The cab support assembly includes a cab support coupled to the frame of the construction machine. The operator's cab is mounted to a cab support mounting frame, which in turn is pivotably coupled to the cab support. An actuation device is coupled to the cab support and to the cab support mounting frame. The actuation device includes a first actuation device position in which the cab support frame is in a first position in which the cab support mounting frame defines a first plane, and at least a second actuation device position in which the cab support mounting frame is in a second position such that the cab support mounting frame defines a second plane that intersects the first plane at a negative angle.

A self-propelled multipurpose vehicle with a chassis including an engine driving one or more hydraulic pumps, and a platform with a driver seat and one or more controls for a driver. The platform is rotatably mounted to the chassis, and the platform is provided with hydraulic power from at least one of said one or more hydraulic pumps. The vehicle may hold a workstation for carrying a tool, with the workstation being connected to the chassis at a position next to the rotatable platform, and with the workstation being provided with hydraulic power from the hydraulic pump(s). The vehicle may also hold a working boom for carrying a tool, where the working boom is supported by the rotatable platform and powered by hydraulic power from the hydraulic pump(s).

A ground milling machine comprising a machine frame, a driver's cab, a drive motor, movement means driven by the drive motor and a milling unit for milling up ground material, wherein the driver's cab has a protection roof and a front window device through which an operator located in the driver's cab can look forward in a forward direction of the ground milling machine.

A working vehicle is provided with a traveling vehicle, a working section which is supported on a rotatable base, an operator's cab, and a connection section. The connection section includes: a connection section body which connects the rotatable base and the operator's cab and which is provided so as to be capable of pivoting about a base-side connection section connected to the rotatable base and about the operator's cab-side connection section connected to the operator's cab; and a pivot control section which extends so as to always intersect the connection section body in the range of pivoting of the connection section body, connects the rotatable base and the operator's cab, and is provided so as to be capable of pivoting about a base-side connection section connected to the rotatable base and about an operator's cab-side connection section connected to the operator's cab.

The present invention relates to a device for a vehicle cab of a vehicle, said vehicle cab comprising a cab module configured for attachment to a chassis beam via a support device arranged to support said cab module, said support device comprising rotation means for rotation of said vehicle cab, wherein said support device comprises elevation means for raising/lowering of said cab module. The present invention also relates to a vehicle with a device for a vehicle cab.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a mechanical joint with five degrees of freedom. In certain embodiments, the mechanical joint includes first and second triangular linkages. The first triangular linkage includes a base end configured to hingedly couple to a first body to pivot relative to the first body and a vertex end that includes a first rotational member. The second triangular linkage includes a base end configured to hingedly couple to a second body to pivot relative to the second body and a vertex end that includes a second rotational member. The first rotational member and the second rotational member are rotationally coupled to form a all joint. With this joint, the second body is moveable in two translational degrees of freedom and restricted in one translational degree of freedom relative to the first body. Such a configuration allows vertical movement and/or reduces stress on the joint.

A work machine comprises a main body, a cab riser, and a shaft. The cab riser includes a cab and a frame, the cab being uprightly positioned on the work machine in a first position, and being tilted forward in a second position, and the frame comprising a first plate to contact a second plate provided on the main body in the first position. The cab riser is rotatable about the shaft in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to and from the first position and the second position. The first plate and the second plate can be clamped together by a clamping assembly in the first position, the clamping assembly including one or more clamps to clamp the first plate and the second plate, and the clamping assembly is mounted on the main body.

An articulated machine for moving an object includes a front chassis, a rear chassis, a power swivel system, a cabin, and a boom apparatus is provided. The rear chassis can be coupled to the front chassis by a rear chassis actuator for moving the rear chassis relative the front chassis. The power swivel system can be disposed partially within the front chassis and can have a rotational axis. The cabin can be rotatably coupled the power swivel system and can be disposed adjacent the boom swivel plate. The cabin can be independently rotatable about the rotational axis of the power swivel system. The boom apparatus can be rotatably mounted on the front chassis and can be coupled to the power swivel system. The boom swivel plate can permit independent rotation of the boom apparatus about the rotational axis of the power swivel system.
