Abstract: A stability system for inhibiting tipping of a lift vehicle. The lift vehicle includes a propulsion system and a chassis supported by a first ground engaging structure proximate a first end and a second ground engaging structure proximate a second end, as well as a platform moveable between a raised position and a lowered position. A stability system includes a first body configured to extend at least partially between the first ground engaging structure and the second ground engaging structure, wherein the first body is moveable between a deployed position enhancing the stability of the lift vehicle when the platform is in the raised position, and a stowed position when the platform is in the lowered position. When the first body is in the deployed position, the stability system produces an output indicating that a force having an upward component has been exerted on the first body.

Abstract: A working vehicle includes an electric storage device; a traction motor configured to propel the working vehicle and to generate electrical energy when braking; a hydraulic system including a hydraulic pump driven by a load motor, a hydraulic actuator and a control valve; and a control system. The control system is configured to determine a state of charge of the electric storage device; induce additional load on the hydraulic system by directing the load motor to drive the hydraulic pump and actuating the control valve to direct flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator when the state of charge is at or above a predetermined threshold.
