Abstract

A leg assembly includes a guide tube, a power drive coupled to a flange of the guide tube, a steering ring coupled to the power drive, a tube weldment coupled to the steering ring, and a hydraulic actuator coupled within the guide tube and within the tube weldment. The power drive includes a slew drive or a hydraulic cylinder steering assembly. The tube weldment is translated through the power drive by the actuator. To achieve a minimal width, the tube weldment includes a keyway. The steering ring includes a key by which relative rotational movements may be imparted to the keyway. The steering ring is rotated by the power drive. Thus, the guide tube may be rotated relative to the tube weldment.
