  • Patent number: 12655006
    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.

  • Patent number: 12139885
    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.
