  • Patent number: 10467826
    Abstract: A remotely controllable dump truck includes: a chassis; pairs of tires each provided at a front side and a rear side in a travel direction of the chassis; fenders for the tires; and a vehicle-status-output device disposed between a front one of the fenders and a rear one of the fenders, the vehicle-status-output device including a control panel for outputting status information of the vehicle. The vehicle-status-output device is positioned, in a width direction of the chassis orthogonal to the travel direction, to be offset from ends of the front and rear one of the fenders in the width direction, and the control panel faces an outside of the tires in the width direction.

  • Patent number: 9181678
    Abstract: A backhoe loader includes cab, a loader, an engine, and a backhoe. The loader includes a pair of loader arms sandwiching the engine from the side, a loader bucket, and a loader bucket cylinder. There is provided a foot mount member attached at the outer side of the loader arm to be horizontal relative to the ground in a state where the bottom of the loader bucket is in contact with the ground. Thus, a backhoe loader of favorable workability in the maintenance service of engine can be obtained.
