A recreational off-highway vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll cage. Grab handles are positioned on the sides of the passenger seat. Select large round tubing protects the vehicle, while rectangular tubing frames the portions of the vehicle beneath body panels. The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that is connected to a transaxle. A radiator is positioned above the engine. A cover with an access panel is situated between the engine and the passenger seats. The vehicle is suited for rough terrain travel.

Off-road vehicle radiator

A recreational off-highway vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis that is approximately 50 inches wide. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll cage. Grab handles are positioned on the sides of the passenger seat. Select large round tubing protects the vehicle, while rectangular tubing frames the portions of the vehicle beneath body panels. The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that is connected to a transaxle. The engine and transaxle are isolation mounted together with a portion of the air intake assembly. The vehicle is suited for rough terrain travel.

Off-highway recreational vehicle

A vehicle configuration wherein the center of mass of the vehicle is approximately superimposed upon the passenger and driver centers of mass when seated within the vehicle. An occupant's center of mass can be approximated using a standard center of mass position approximation, or a combination of any number of standard center of mass position approximations. The vehicle's center of mass can be approximately superimposed upon the occupant's center of mass in at least the longitudinal and vertical directions.

A conveyor system is set forth that includes a track having a generally linear section and a generally curved section. The track further includes a guide channel having sidewalls that engage a guide member that is in fixed positional alignment, for example, with a carrier and/or belt. The guide member engages the sidewalls of the guide channel to facilitate guided movement of the carrier and/or belt along the track. The guide member includes a linear portion that is engaged by the track when the guide member is disposed along the linear section of the track while being generally disengaged from the track when the guide member is disposed along the curved section of the track. The guide member further includes a curved section that engages the sidewalls of the guide channel when the guide member is disposed along the curved section of the track. The radius of curvature of the curved portion of the guide member generally coincides with the radius of curvature of the track about a curved portion of the track.
