A cylinder length sensor mounting and retaining assembly for a hydraulic cylinder includes a casing attachable to a blind end of the cylinder, a sensor retention cap affixable to the casing adjacent the blind end of the cylinder, and a locking pin extendable through the casing and positioned adjacent the sensor retention cap. The assembly facilitates sensor removal without requiring disassembly of the cylinder.

A vehicle includes a chassis supporting two front axle assemblies and two rear axle assemblies. Each of the front and rear axle assemblies includes an extendible and retractable axle supporting an independently steerable wheel and a steering mechanism. The axles of the respective front and rear axle assemblies are offset from each other. By providing independently steerable wheels, the vehicle is operable in a plurality of steering modes including two-wheel steer, crab steer and coordinated steer. A steering angle for each steering wheel is determined according to a steering angle of an inside front wheel on a turn-by-turn basis.

A controller, for a scissor lift control system includes a multiplexing device for lessening the number of conductor lines sent to the controller. The controller includes a microprocessor, and it determines appropriate safe operations of the scissor lift based on various sensed inputs, such as height of the platform and load on the platform. The scissor lift is operated by pushing either a drive select push button, a lift select push button, or a deck select push button. After the switch is selected, the operator has a predetermined amount of time to stroke the joystick in order to effect movement of the scissor lift.
