A worksite management system for a worksite includes a sensor module associated with each of one or more machines working on the worksite. The sensor module generates a signal indicative of a location of a corresponding one of a machine from the one or more machines. An on-board controller associated with each of the one or more machines receives the signal corresponding to the location of the corresponding one of the machine on the worksite, and looks up the location of the corresponding one of the machine in at least one of a pre-generated or learned terrain map of a network of haul routes. The on-board controller identifies at least one condition of the haul route at the looked-up location, and then generates an alert for an operator to perform one or more recommended actions with respect to an operating parameter of the corresponding one of the machine.

An informational lighting system for a machine having a cab may include a plurality of beacon lights located at a roof of the cab, the beacon lights may be located at discrete locations. The informational lighting system may further include a controller configured to provide signals for flashing the beacon lights.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle having a braking system and a method of engaging the braking system. The braking system engages a brake mechanism as a waiting brake. The vehicle has a dual function device which is configured such that when the dual function device is activated when the vehicle transmission system is in a drive mode, the transmission system is maintained in that drive mode, and when the dual function device is activated when the transmission system is in the neutral mode, the brake mechanism is engaged.

Braking system

A bolt-together hitch for a machine having articulatable first and second sections, including a generally annular yoke member of cast steel having a cylindrical portion which is trunnion mounted by bearings in a longitudinal bore formed by the first section and a tube member of forged steel bolted end to end to the yoke member, the yoke member integrally forming brackets to provide an articulated pivot joint with the second section.

A suspension system is provided for a load carrying body of a load carrying machine. The suspension system includes a longitudinal frame, first and second axle assemblies, first and second suspension members, first and second balance beams, a first pair of flexible members, and a second pair of flexible members. The first pair of flexible members, and the second pair of flexible members are connected in the system at a predetermined location at which shear is reduced and service life is increased.
