Abstract: A lift device includes a chassis, tractive elements, a platform, a lift assembly, a first set of proximity sensors, and a controller. The tractive elements are rotatably coupled to the chassis and support the chassis. The platform is disposed above the chassis and includes a deck for supporting an operator. The lift assembly couples the platform to the chassis and can selectably move the platform between a lowered position and a raised position. The first set of proximity sensors are coupled to the platform and detect a distance of an obstacle relative to the platform. The controller is operably coupled with an alert system and receives obstacle detection data from the first set of proximity sensors. The controller selects a subset of the first set of proximity sensors to analyze based on an active function of the lift device and determines whether the obstacle is within the minimum allowable distance.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a first vehicle, a second vehicle, and a control system. The first vehicle includes a first implement and a first actuator configured to facilitate controlling a first operation of the first implement. The second vehicle includes a second implement and a second actuator configured to control a second operation of the second implement. The control system is configured to receive an input from an operator, transmit a first signal to the first actuator based on the input to control the first operation of the first implement, and transmit a second signal to the second actuator based on the input to control the second operation of the second implement such that the first operation and the second operation are coordinated.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a first machine with a first actuator and a first controller, a second machine with a second actuator and a second controller, and a user input system with a transceiver, a user interface, and a third controller. The user input system is configured to receive a user input via the user interface and provide a signal to both the first controller and the second controller. The first and second controllers are configured to send a first lag signal and a second lag signal, respectively, to the third controller. The first lag signal defines a first response time of the first machine and the second lag signal defines a second response time of the second machine. The third controller compares the first response time to the second response time to determine a lag time of the first machine and the second machine.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a first work machine including a first actuator and a first control system, a second work machine including a second actuator and a second control system, and a user input system including a transceiver and a user interface. The user input system is configured to receive a user input via the user interface and provide a signal to both the first control system and the second control system. The first control system and the second control system are configured to receive the signal and thereafter operate the first actuator of the first work machine and the second actuator of the second machine in a coordinated mode of operation. The user input system is configured to provide, and the first control system and the second control system are configured to receive, the signal simultaneously thereby reducing latency between motion of the first work machine and the second work machine in the coordinated mode of operation.

Abstract: A fall arrest system for use with a platform includes a harness configured to be worn by an operator, a first bracket and a second bracket configured to be coupled to the platform, a horizontal support including a first end portion coupled to the first bracket and a second end portion coupled to the second bracket, and a harness adapter coupled to the harness, the harness adapter defining an aperture that receives the horizontal support. The harness adapter is repositionable along a length of the horizontal support.

Abstract: An attachment for a telescopic material handler supplies five degrees of freedom (DOF) for the task of picking, manipulating and aiding in the installation of vertical and horizontal wall cladding and other construction materials. The cladding can be of a size up to 1.3×8.0 m and a mass of 350 kg. The control and positioning of the load is accomplished through standard operation of the telehandler in conjunction with wireless control of the five DOF of the device. Hydraulic power for the device functions may be supplied through the telehandler auxiliary circuit. The auxiliary flow also powers a hydraulic generator, which supplies the device with electrical power for both system logic and control and vacuum generation. The cladding panels are handled by the vacuum system.

Abstract: A wall saw accessory is provided for an aerial work platform, where a wall saw is movably affixed on a track secured to a wall to be sawed. The accessory includes a saw/track manipulator fixable to the aerial work platform. The saw/track manipulator movably supports the track and saw and enables positioning of the saw and track to and from a working position. A hydraulic power source is coupled with a water supply to provide hydraulic power and coolant flow to the wall saw. In one arrangement, the accessory additionally incorporates an onboard pressure washer, which serves to streamline the process and maintain a clean work area. The accessory may be attached to a lift vehicle including a chassis supporting an onboard water supply.
