  • Publication number: 20230294528
    Abstract: A vehicle can include a plurality of tractive elements, a bed, an electrical power source including a battery assembly, one or more wireless charging devices electrically coupled with the electrical power source, and a controller communicably coupled with the electrical power source. The one or more wireless charging devices can be configured to wirelessly provide power to one or more rechargeable batteries of one or more lift devices positioned on the bed via an inductive coil. The controller can be configured to determine battery information regarding a state of charge of the battery assembly and a state of charge of the one or more rechargeable batteries of the one or more lift devices. The controller can be configured to initiate, based on the determined battery information, a charging operation to charge the one or more rechargeable batteries of the one or more lift devices via the inductive coil of the one or more wireless charging devices.

  • Publication number: 20230234821
    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a platform charger for use with a lift, such as an aerial work platform (AWP) or mobile elevating work platform (MEWP). The platform charger includes an elevated platform, a ramp extending away from a first end of the platform, a battery, and an induction coil. The induction coil is received within the platform and positioned near an upper surface of the platform. The induction coil is configured to receive electricity from an energy source and generate a magnetic field that extends substantially upwardly, through the platform to objects positioned on the platform. The induction coil is also configured to act as an antenna, such that if the induction coil is positioned within an magnetic field, a current will be induced in the induction coil that can be used to recharge a battery associated with the platform charger.

  • Publication number: 20230234462
    Abstract: A charging system includes a service vehicle and a controller. The service vehicle includes a chassis, a series of tractive elements coupled to the chassis, an energy storage device, and a charging interface operatively coupled to the energy storage device. The controller is configured to identify a location of a vehicle, control the service vehicle to navigate to the location of the vehicle, and control the service vehicle to transfer energy from the energy storage device to the vehicle through the charging interface.

  • Publication number: 20230234456
    Abstract: A wireless charging system includes a platform having a substantially horizontal upper surface configured to support a vehicle and an induction coil coupled to the platform. The induction coil is configured to receive electrical energy from an energy source and generate a magnetic field above the upper surface, the magnetic field being positioned to wirelessly transfer the electrical energy to the vehicle while the vehicle is positioned atop the platform.

  • Publication number: 20040228684
    Abstract: A composite paver system comprising two distinct types of interlocking pavers, both being formed from a mixture of sawdust and polymers. One type of paver has a groove around the entire periphery, and a plurality of interlocking members are provided to fit into the grooves between adjoining pavers to secure them together. The other type of paver comprises a plurality of tiles all of which are notched at each corner, and at least one interlocking member that fit into the notches at the corners of adjoining tiles. The interlocking members are screwed to the corners to secure the tiles together as one unitary paver. Using both formats an economical composite patio or deck surface can be built at one fourth the weight of conventional cement pavers, at a lower cost (using a wood mitre saw for trimming rather than a diamond cut saw), and yet with increased integrity.
