Patent number: 11760613Abstract: An adapter assembly for lifting a vehicle includes an adapter defining a first pin aperture, a second pin aperture, and an adapter aperture, a first pin, a second pin, and a cross member removably received by the adapter aperture. The first pin is configured to be removably received by the first pin aperture and a first aperture defined by a frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame. The second pin is configured to be removably received by the second pin aperture and a second aperture defined by the frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventor: Joshua L. Fenner

Patent number: 11679965Abstract: A vehicle system includes a chassis and a lift assembly. The chassis includes a frame defining a first aperture and a second aperture. The lift assembly includes an adapter assembly and a lift device. The adapter assembly includes (a) an adapter defining a first pin aperture, a second pin aperture, and an adapter aperture, (b) a first pin extending through the first aperture and the first pin aperture and a second pin extending through the second aperture and the second pin aperture to selectively couple the adapter to the frame, and (c) a cross member configured to be received by the adapter aperture. The lift device includes a pair of receivers configured to engage the cross member of the adapter assembly to support the cross member. The first pin aperture and the adapter aperture each extend laterally when the adapter is coupled to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventor: Joshua L.

Patent number: 10974938Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis and a lift assembly. The chassis includes a frame defining a pair of tow points. The lift assembly includes an adapter assembly and a lift device. The adapter assembly includes a first adapter and a second adapter, each adapter configured to be coupled to one of the pair of tow points, and each adapter defining an adapter aperture, and a cross member extending laterally across the vehicle and received by each adapter aperture. The lift device includes a lift base and a pair of receivers coupled to the lift base and configured to engage with the cross member of the adapter assembly. The pair of receivers support the cross member in a vertical direction. The adapter assembly is configured to receive and redirect a lifting force of the lift device to selectively reconfigure the vehicle between a lowered position and an elevated position.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Oshkosh Defense, LLCInventor: Joshua L.
