A lift device includes a base, an arm, a tractive element, and a steering actuator. The arm has a base end coupled to the base and a tractive element end. The arm includes a steering actuator interface positioned along an exterior surface of the arm. The tractive element is coupled to the tractive element end. The steering actuator has a first end coupled to the steering actuator interface and an opposing second end coupled to the tractive element. The arm includes a plate extending from the exterior surface of the arm at an upward angle and past the steering actuator.

A work vehicle for maintenance of an electrical catenary includes a vehicle frame supported on on-track undercarriages and a vehicle superstructure situated on the vehicle frame. A first grounding device is disposed at a first vehicle end relative to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A crane having a vertically and transversely adjustable work platform is disposed at an opposite, second vehicle end. A second grounding device is provided at the second vehicle end.

An aerial platform for an industrial truck has a one-piece base frame comprising a vertical mast strut configured to couple to the industrial truck and a floor plate configured as a place for at least one person to stand. The aerial platform further comprises at least two vertical posts defining an access opening and at least two horizontal side struts coupled the vertical mast strut and the at least two vertical posts.

A leveling system for a lift device includes a control system. The control system has programmed instructions to acquire operation data regarding operation of the lift device, fluidly couple a first leveling actuator and a second leveling actuator based on the operation data, acquire an update regarding the operation data, fluidly decouple the first leveling actuator and the second leveling actuator based on the update regarding the operation data, and selectively control the first leveling actuator and the second leveling actuator to (i) selectively reposition a first tractive element and a second tractive element relative to each other about a longitudinal axis defined by the lift device and (ii) selectively reposition the first tractive element and the second tractive element about a first lateral axis defined by the lift device.

The scissor lift platform includes a frame resting on the ground by connecting members, a platform, a device for lifting the platform, including a set of jointed bars supporting the platform, so the elevation of the platform relative to the frame is variable and controlled by the set of bars, the set of bars including four lower bars defining parallel pairs hinged to four lower articulation blocks connected to the frame, the set of bars also including four upper bars defining parallel pairs hinged to four upper articulation blocks connected to the platform, and at least four sensors each measuring a reaction force, the sensors each having a lower or upper articulation block. Each articulation block/sensor includes first and a second portions. Each sensor is positioned between the first portion of the articulation block in which the sensor is mounted and the second portion of the articulation block.

A system for protecting an operator on an aerial work platform from a crushing hazard includes a sensor, such as opto-electric sensor, positionable adjacent the control panel area. A control system is programmed to control operation of the driving components based on signals from the sensor.

A fall-protection system including a harness and a fall-protection apparatus with a lifeline bearing a connector configured to be connected to the harness; and, a fall-protection monitoring system with a base unit and with at least one sensor module configured to sense a condition of the connector and to communicate a signal indicative of the condition of the connector to the base unit.

A work site equipment grouping system includes a plurality of work machines including a first work machine and a second work machine. 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.

In an example, a system is described. The system includes a guardrail having a post, and the post having a post dog. The system also includes a latch eye configured to be coupled to a flip door. The system also comprises a safety latch mechanism configured to be coupled to a fixed structure and including a body, a socket configured to receive the post, and a door latch rotatably coupled to the body and biased in a latched position that is configured to engage with the latch eye and thereby retain the flip door in a lowered position. Based on the post being inserted into the socket of the safety latch mechanism, the post dog engages with and rotates the door latch from the latched position to an unlatched position, thereby allowing the flip door to be raised from the lowered position to a raised position.

In an example, a system for preventing a flip door from being raised without a guardrail installed is disclosed. The system includes a guardrail having a post, and the post having a post dog. The system also includes a safety latch mechanism configured to be coupled to a fixed structure. The safety latch mechanism includes a body, a socket disposed in the body and configured to receive the post, and a door latch rotatably coupled to the body and biased in a latched position that is configured to retain a flip door in a lowered position. Based on the post being inserted into the socket of the safety latch mechanism, the post dog engages with and rotates the door latch from the latched position to an unlatched position, thereby allowing the flip door to be raised from the lowered position to a raised position.
