Each work machine is configured to wirelessly communicate with other work machines. The system further includes a local area network including a plurality of communicatively connected nodes, the nodes including the first work machine and the second work machine. The system further includes a third work machine configured to detect one of the first work machine or the second work machine within a signal range of the third work machine and, upon detecting one of the first work machine or the second work machine, automatically join the local area network.

Systems and methods for controlling motion of remotely operated equipment such that a motion path is automatically determined for a plurality of joints of the remotely operated equipment based on an updated target position input received from an operator, a current position of the remotely operated equipment, and predetermined parameters indicative of the geometry of the plurality of joints. An optimized motion path may be provided that avoids detected obstacles and joint singularities of the remotely operated equipment.

An aerial lift assembly is provided with a base to support the aerial lift assembly upon an underlying support surface. A first link assembly is pivotally connected to the base to pivotally expand and collapse from the base. A first extendable boom assembly is pivotally connected to the first link assembly to pivotally expand and collapse from the first link assembly, and to extend and retract from the first link assembly. A first actuator is in cooperation with the first extendable boom assembly to extend and retract the first extendable boom assembly. A second extendable boom assembly is pivotally connected to the first extendable boom assembly to pivotally expand and collapse from the first extendable boom assembly, and to extend and retract from the first extendable boom assembly. An operator platform is supported by the second extendable boom assembly.

A steering system includes a first wheel and a second wheel spaced apart from the first wheel, a first tie rod, a second tie rod, and an electrical actuator. The first wheel is rotatably coupled to a first knuckle, and the first knuckle is pivotable about a first suspension post. The second wheel is rotatably coupled to a second knuckle, and the second knuckle is pivotable about a second suspension post spaced apart from the first suspension post. The first tie rod is coupled to the first knuckle and to a mechanical linkage. The second tie rod is coupled to the second knuckle and the mechanical linkage. The electrical actuator is coupled to the mechanical linkage so that movement of the electrical actuator translates the mechanical linkage axially, which adjusts the orientation of the wheels relative to the suspension posts.

A lift device includes a chassis, a platform configured to support a user, a lift assembly coupling the platform to the chassis, an actuator configured to at least one of (a) move the platform relative to the chassis or (b) propel the chassis, a sensor assembly, and a controller. The sensor assembly includes a rod including a first end portion coupled to the platform and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, a housing defining an aperture sized to receive the second end portion of the rod, and a sensor coupled to the housing and configured to provide a signal in response to the second end portion of the rod exiting the aperture. The controller is operatively coupled to the sensor and the actuator and configured to control the actuator in response to receiving the signal from the sensor.
