LOADING PLATFORM
A loading platform (1) for telescopic handlers comprises a bottom plane (2) provided for supporting operators and/or equipment and associated with sidewalls (3, 4).
The plane (2) and the sidewalls (3, 4) include respective first interlocking and/or hinge means (31, 221) such that the sidewalls (3, 4) can be secured removably to the plane (2), thereby defining a mountable and demountable platform (1).
Man basket for attachment to telehandler
A man basket having a frame with open front, rear and side walls and a floor that is preferably metal mesh material. The man basket includes two saw platforms extending from the top part of the rear wall and two work surfaces on either side of the saw platforms. The saw platforms optionally include saw stops. A material jig is positioned behind the saw platforms and configured to secure material against the jig when the material is laid across the work surfaces. Two telescoping members extend from the distal ends of the top rail of the rear wall and serve to further support material being worked upon by personnel in the man basket.
LIFT DEVICE WITH DISCONNECT INTERFACE
A lift device includes a chassis, an implement interface configured to be removably coupled to an implement, and a lift assembly coupled to the chassis and the implement interface. The lift assembly is configured to raise the implement interface relative to the chassis. The lift device includes an implement sensor coupled to the implement interface and configured to detect whether the implement is coupled to the implement interface. The lift device includes a controller operatively coupled to the lift assembly and the implement sensor. The controller is configured to adjust operation of the lift device in response to the implement sensor detecting that the implement is coupled to the implement interface.
VEHICLE WITH IMPLEMENT ASSEMBLY
A control system for a lift device includes a base controller. The base controller is configured to operate, in coordination, a base assembly of the lift device and a lift assembly of the lift device in order to move an implement. The base controller is configured to receive, from an implement controller, an interface target path for an interface between the implement and the lift assembly. The base controller is also configured to, in response to determining that the lift assembly is capable of moving the interface along the interface target path, operate the lift assembly to move the interface along the interface target path.
AERIAL LIFT INTERLOCKED WITH FALL-PROTECTION SAFETY APPARATUS
An aerial lift that is interlocked with a fall-protection safety apparatus and may be further interlocked with at least one additional safety apparatus. The aerial lift is equipped with a monitoring system that is configured to detect whether a connector of a safety line of the fall-protection apparatus appears to be connected to a safety harness of a user of the aerial lift.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUAL COMMUNICATION OF COMMANDS TO WORK DEVICE
A system for a worksite includes a lift device coupled to one or more sensors and an implement assembly, and a visual indicator provided at a location at the worksite. One or more sensors of the lift device detect the visual indicator. The visual indicator represents one or more commands for the lift device to perform one. The visual indicator can be a symbol, a code, or an object, and the lift device is configured to determine the content of the command the whether the command applies to the lift device based on one or more aspects of the visual indicator such as its size, shape, or color.
VEHICLE WITH IMPLEMENT ASSEMBLY
An autonomous mobile robot includes a chassis, tractive elements coupled with the chassis, a primary mover, and an implement assembly. The primary mover is configured to drive the tractive elements to transport the autonomous mobile robot. The implement assembly is coupled with the chassis. The implement assembly includes a deck configured to define a work area configured to support a material, equipment, and tools for transport to a worksite. The implement assembly also includes a lift interface operably coupled with an implement actuator. The lift interface is configured to be driven by the implement actuator to removably couple with the material, equipment, or tool, and lift the material onto the deck for transport to the worksite.
LIFT DEVICE WITH END EFFECTOR
A lift device includes a chassis, an implement assembly, a lift assembly, a support platform, a user interface, and a controller The implement assembly includes an implement. The lift assembly is coupled to the chassis and the implement assembly. The lift assembly includes an actuator to move the implement assembly relative to the chassis. The support platform is coupled to the lift assembly. The controller can, in a first mode of operation, autonomously control at least one of the implement or the actuator. The controller can also, in a second mode of operation, control at least one of the implement or actuator based on user input data including a command from an operator. The controller can transition from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation in response to (a) a request from the operator via the user interface or (b) data from a sensor.
