A coupling device connecting a working implement to a working arm of a working machine. The device has a first coupler body, a second coupler body pivotally mounted to the first coupler body, and a third coupler body rotatably mounted to the second coupler body so as to be rotatable about a second axis. The coupling device includes first and second spaced apart actuators configured to tilt the second coupler body relative to the first coupler body, where the coupling device comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein the first and second actuators are arranged on the first end.

Coupling device

A working machine has a frame, a ground engaging propulsion system, a drive arrangement for providing motive power to the ground engaging propulsion system, an operator platform pivotally connected to the frame and moveable between a deployed position for supporting an operator thereon and a stowed position; and a sensor arrangement configured to sense when an external force is applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed position. The machine prevents movement of the ground engaging propulsion system when the sensor arrangement does not sense an external force applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed position.

Working machine

An apparatus is provided for heating a road surface material to be repaired. The apparatus includes a frame and a heater connected to the frame so as to be positioned over a road surface, in use, for heating for heating a road surface material. An agitator is also connected to the frame for agitating a road surface material. The agitator is configured to agitate road surface material heated by the heater.

Heating apparatus

A hydraulic system including hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic machine for pressuring the hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic circuit for delivering the hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic actuator, the hydraulic machine being configured to receive the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic actuator and a kinetic energy storage device for storing energy in a kinetic form, the kinetic energy storage device being operably coupled to the hydraulic machine, the system being configured such that the hydraulic machine is operable to transfer energy from the hydraulic fluid received from the hydraulic actuator to the kinetic energy storage device.
