Publication number: 20240059537Abstract: A lift device includes a base assembly, a turntable assembly, and a controller. The base assembly includes multiple base assembly batteries. The turntable assembly is rotatably coupled with the base assembly through a slip ring transmission. The turntable assembly includes multiple turntable assembly batteries. The controller is configured to operate the base assembly batteries to discharge electrical energy to the turntable batteries through the slip ring transmission. The slip ring transmission is configured to both (1) drive the turntable assembly to rotate relative to the base assembly and (2) to electrically and communicably couple electrical components of the base assembly with electrical components of the turntable assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: David Lombardo, Eko Prasetiawan, Ignacy Puskiewicz, Wenton S. Miller, Shane Mastronardi, Matthew Gilbride

Publication number: 20220234873Abstract: A lift device includes a lift apparatus and a base assembly. The lift apparatus is configured to raise and lower an implement assembly. The base assembly is configured to support the lift apparatus. The base assembly includes a deployable operator station transitionable between a deployed position and a stowed position. In the deployed position, the deployable operator station is configured to provide a seating and control arrangement for an operator. In the stowed position, the deployable operator station is substantially sealed from an external environment to limit access to the deployable operator station.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Wenton S. Miller, Matthew Gilbride, Shane Mastronardi, Eko Prasetiawan, Ignacy Puszkiewicz

Publication number: 20220204332Abstract: A mobile elevating work platform includes a chassis, a slew bearing, a turntable, a lift system, and a turntable leveling system. The turntable leveling system is positioned above the slew bearing and supports the lift system. The turntable leveling system includes a baseplate, a bracket, a first actuator, and a second actuator. The baseplate extends above the slew bearing. The bracket is rotatably coupled to the baseplate and is configured to tilt relative to the baseplate about an axis extending parallel with the baseplate. The first actuator is positioned on a first side of the bracket and the second actuator is positioned on a second side of the bracket.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: June 30, 2022Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Wenton S. Miller, Eric Hackenberg

Publication number: 20210276847Abstract: At least one embodiment relates to a lift device including a chassis, a series of tractive elements coupled to the chassis, an implement, and a boom coupling the implement to the chassis. The boom includes (a) a first shell including a first sidewall and a first transition coupling a first set of flanges to the sidewall and (b) a second shell including a second sidewall and a second transition coupling a second set of flanges to the sidewall. The first shell abuts the second shell along the first set of flanges and the second set of flanges. The first transition and the second transition extend along a length of the boom. The first transition and the second transition at least partially define a channel. The first shell is coupled to the second shell by a weld positioned within the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Mark G.
