  • Patent number: 9598002
    Abstract: A hydraulic excavator is a work vehicle equipped with a work implement, including a cab and a rotating light. The rotating light is removably disposed on a roof of the cab. The rotating light has a rotating light main body, an attachment component, and a handle. The attachment component is provided on the lower side of the rotating light main body and is used to attach the rotating light main body to the roof. The handle is portal-shaped and fixed to the attachment component, and has a first rod-shaped part, a second rod-shaped part, and a third rod-shaped part. The first rod-shaped part and the second rod-shaped part are formed facing upward from the attachment component. The third rod-shaped part connects the first rod-shaped part and the second rod-shaped part together. The third rod-shaped part is disposed above the rotating light main body when viewed from the side and perpendicular to the lengthwise direction.

  • Patent number: 7942355
    Abstract: A self-traveling crushing machine includes: a traveling device; a crushing device that is provided on the traveling device and crushes a to-be-crushed object supplied; an overload escaping section that escapes an overload of the crushing device; and a controller that controls the crushing device. In the self-traveling crushing machine, the crushing device is a jaw crusher in which the to-be-crushed object is supplied to a V-shaped space formed by a fixed jaw and a movable jaw and the movable jaw swings relative to the fixed jaw to crush the to-be-crushed object, and the controller includes: an escape-operation determining section that determines whether or not the overload escaping section has operated; and an information output section that sends the escape operation information to an outside when the escape-operation determining section determines that the escape operation has been conducted.
