A lift device and a method of controlling the lift device are provided. The lift device has a lifting mechanism supporting a lifting platform relative to the chassis. An electric motor is drivingly coupled to a traction device, and a traction battery is in electrical communication with the electric motor. A user input is provided to control a speed of the lift device by inputting a requested speed. A controller is configured to, in response to the lift device being on a non-zero grade and if the requested speed is greater than a predetermined speed, command the electric motor to output a braking torque and provide electrical power to the traction battery, and limit the speed of the lift device to the predetermined speed.

Lift device and method of controlling on a grade

An AWP boom is coupled to a platform rotator through a novel load sensing linkage system which provides both structural support and load sensing capabilities of an attached platform support structure. The load sensing linkage system includes an upper flex plate and a lower flex plate and a single load cell for load sensing capabilities. The flex plates provide for stiffness in all directions except where necessary for load sensing.

Flexible plate scale for platform load weighing

A fluid suspension system for a land vehicle is provided with an actuator connected to a chassis and an axle of a land vehicle spaced apart from a pivotal connection of the axle. A fluid pressure circuit is in cooperation with the at least one actuator. A controller is in operable communication with the fluid pressure circuit and is programmed to receive input indicative of a travel speed of the land vehicle. The fluid pressure circuit is adjusted to limit fluid flow rate or reduce fluid pressure at a low speed travel range to permit the axle to pivot in response to variations in an underlying support surface. The fluid pressure circuit is adjusted at a higher speed travel range for selective actuation of the at least one actuator or for a higher fluid pressure actuation of the at least one actuator, in response to variations in the underlying surface.

Vehicle suspension system

A suspension system for a land vehicle is provided with at least one actuator connected to a chassis and an axle of a land vehicle spaced apart from a pivotal connection of the axle. A suspension circuit is in cooperation with the at least one actuator. A controller is in operable communication with the suspension circuit and is programmed to receive input indicative of a travel speed of the land vehicle. The suspension circuit is closed at a low speed travel range to permit the axle to pivot in response to variations in an underlying support surface. The suspension circuit is opened to permit selective actuation of the at least one actuator at a higher speed travel range in response to variations in the underlying support surface.

A composition contains a blend of linear and resinous alkenyl functionalized polyorganosiloxanes, a blend of linear and resinous silyl hydride functionalized polyorganosiloxanes, and a hydrosilylation catalyst where the linear silyl hydride functionalized polyorganosiloxanes has a ratio of D/Dthat is greater than 2.0 and less than 14, the molar and the ratio of silyl hydride hydrogens to the sum of terminal alkenyl functionality on the alkenyl functionalized polyorganosiloxane is 1.2-2.2.

Rapid hydrosilylation cure composition

A vehicle and a hydraulic propulsion system for the vehicle are provided with first and second motors diagonally arranged relative to one another on the vehicle, and third and fourth motors diagonally arranged relative to one another on the vehicle. First, second and third flow divider combiner assemblies are provided and are arranged in a closed fluid loop with the motors. A first port of each of the assemblies are fluidly connected to one another. The first assembly has a second port fluidly coupled to the first and second motors, and a third port fluidly coupled to the third and fourth motors. The second assembly has second and third ports fluidly coupled to the first and third motors, respectively. The third assembly has second and third ports fluidly coupled to the second and fourth motors, respectively. A method of controlling the hydraulic system is also provided.

Hydraulic drivetrain for a utility vehicle

A vehicle is provided with a chassis having a footprint, a load carrying structure, and a support assembly coupling the chassis and the structure. The support assembly is adapted to move the structure relative to the chassis between a stowed position and a deployed position outboard of the footprint of the chassis. A plurality of wheels is configured to roll on the support surface and a plurality of axles coupling the wheels to the chassis are provided. Each axle includes at least one spindle supporting an individual wheel for rotation on a spindle axis. A steering system is adapted to position the wheels between driving and rotation arrangements with respect to the chassis such that in the rotating arrangement each of the plurality of wheels rotate relative to the chassis whereby the chassis, the platform and the support assembly may rotate in unison about the steer axis.

A liner for an aircraft comprises a sheet of material having a plurality of standoffs integral with the liner sheet that extend in opposite directions from the plane defined by the liner sheet. Standoffs extending in one direction comprise an end portion for accommodating placement against the inside surfaca of the fuselage skin. Standoffs extending in an opposite direction have a generally planer end portion to accommodate the placement of an insulation blanket thereon. The liner comprises a matrix of both types of standoffs uniformly distributed throughout the liner sheet. A plurality of openings are through the sheet between the standoffs. The standoffs extend a predetermined distance from the plane of the liner sheet to provide a predetermined amount of separation between the inside surface of the skin and insulation blanket. The openings provide a fluid flow path for condensate formed at the blanket side of the liner to flow downwardly from the blankets along the inside surface of the skin down to the bilge of the aircraft where it is removed.
