Publication number: 20210039935Abstract: A vehicle system includes a controller. The controller is configured to be communicably coupled to a plurality of actuators of a vehicle that facilitate repositioning a plurality of tractive elements coupled to a chassis of the vehicle. The controller is configured to (i) control the plurality of actuators to selectively reposition each of the plurality of tractive elements through a range of motion to attempt to maintain the chassis level and (ii) drive each of the plurality of actuators toward a mid-stroke position while continuing to attempt to maintain the chassis level and while the vehicle is moving.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Eric D. Hackenberg, Harish Sivasubramanian, Marcel Amsallen, Jesse Holmes, Peter Gilbert, Milan Klimes

Patent number: 10858231Abstract: A lift device includes a base, an arm, a drive actuator, a tractive element, and a steering actuator. The arm has a base end coupled to the base and a tractive element end. The arm includes a steering actuator interface positioned along an exterior surface of the arm. The drive actuator is pivotally coupled to the tractive element end of the arm. The tractive element is coupled to the drive actuator. The steering actuator has a first end coupled to the steering actuator interface and an opposing second end coupled to the drive actuator. The arm includes a plate extending forward of the exterior surface of the arm and past the steering actuator.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Jesse Holmes, Constantin B. Marinoiu, Stephen Z. Smith, Eric Hackenberg, Jihong Hao, Harish Sivasubramanian, Marcel Amsallen
