Cabin assembly
A vehicle includes a frame, a series of tractive assemblies coupled to the frame, a cabin, and a mount. The mount includes a boss coupled to the cabin, a first bracket pivotably coupled to the boss, a second bracket coupled to the frame, and a first isolator and a second isolator extending between the first bracket and the second bracket and coupling the first bracket to the second bracket.

INTAKE NOISE REDUCTION STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE
A bracket 10 has a U-shaped cross section in which a pair of facing plate portions 15 extend from both side edges of a bottom plate portion 12 so as to face each other, and is fixed to a vehicle body side for mounting a predetermined component. The bottom plate portion 12 and the pair of facing plate portions 15 partition a bracket inner space 16, and the bottom plate portion 12 is provided with a through hole 20 which makes the bracket inner space 16 communicate with an outside. A resonator 23 is fixed to the bracket 10 in a state where the resonator 23 is accommodated in the bracket inner space 16. A ventilation passage 29 makes the resonator 23 communicate with the intake duct 21 through the through hole 20.

Undercarriage assembly for a machine
A levelling assembly is provided, for levelling an upper carriage assembly of a machine with respect to an undercarriage assembly having a first track roller frame and the second track roller frame. A levelling body is rotatably coupled to the first track roller frame and the second track roller frame and defines a first side and a second side laterally opposite to the first side. The levelling assembly includes a first pair of fluid actuators for movably coupling first side of the levelling body with the first track roller frame and a second pair of fluid actuators for movably coupling second side of the levelling body with the second track roller frame. The first and the second pair of fluid actuators move the levelling body between a fore tilted position and an aft tilted position relative to the first and the second track roller frames.

Anti-collision system for a tiltable truck cab, and related devices, components, and methods
An anti-collision system includes a truck cab defining a truck cab volume and a sensor positioned with respect to the truck cab. The truck cab is rotatable with respect to the truck chassis along a rotation path to define a truck cab rotation volume. The truck cab volume is entirely within the truck cab rotation volume along the entire rotation path, i.e., the truck cab rotation volume encompasses the truck cab volume at every position of the truck cab volume along the rotation path. The sensor has a field of view (FOV) that overlaps a portion of the truck cab rotation volume to detect an obstruction in the FOV that is within the truck cab rotation volume. The sensor may also cause the system to provide an alert or control rotation of the truck cab in response to detecting the obstruction.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC TILTING OF OPERATOR CABIN
A system for automatic tilting of an operator cabin of a work machine includes a first sensor that generates a first signal indicative of a first pitch angle of a frame structure relative to a non-inclined surface. The system also includes a tilting mechanism to tilt the operator cabin relative to the frame structure. The system further includes a controller that receives the first signal indicative of the first pitch angle. The controller determines a second pitch angle based on the first pitch angle. The controller controls first and second actuators to tilt the operator cabin by the second pitch angle relative to the non-inclined surface. The second pitch angle is opposite in direction to the first pitch angle. Further, based on a tilting of the operator cabin, a plane defined by the operator cabin is substantially parallel to the non-inclined surface.
