Abstract:
A vehicle seat arrangement is provided for a working vehicle comprising an operator's seat having an adjustable feature. A first control element is arranged such that a first work operative position is defined. A seat adjusting element is further provided for enabling the operator to set the adjustable feature of the operator's seat. The seat adjusting element is positioned relative to the first control element such that the operator may selectively control the adjustable feature of the seat without significantly interrupting the first work operative position or without significantly interrupting a transition from a first task to a second task and/or from a first work operative position to a second work operative position.
Abstract:
Drain Cleaning Apparatus for rotating a drain cleaning snake comprises a frame and housing assembly supporting an axially displaceable clutch actuating shaft which supports a first clutch actuator for rotation relative thereto and axial displacement therewith. A second clutch actuator is coaxial with the first actuator and supported in the housing for rotation relative thereto. A radially expandable and contractible clutch is captured between the two clutch actuators for engaging and disengaging a drain cleaning snake extending therethrough. A motor drives the first clutch actuator through a transmission pulley and belt arrangement in which the belt is axially slidable relative to a pulley in response to axial displacement of the first clutch actuator relative to the second clutch actuator. The clutch and second clutch actuator are in a shroud at one end of the housing, and the axial position of the second actuator relative to the first actuator is adjustable. The shroud is mounted on the flame to facilitate removal and replacement of the clutch and access to the second clutch actuator, and a housing portion adjacent the shroud is removable to provide access to the transmission components.
Abstract:
A walkie/rider pallet truck is provided comprising a power unit; a set of forks associated with the power unit; a platform associated with the power unit and defining a location upon which an operator may stand; and a restraint system comprising a pivotable restraint structure. The restraint structure is movable to one of a walkie position, a rider-driving position and a quick-exit position.
Abstract:
A materials handling vehicle is provided. The vehicle comprises a main body, a seat deck assembly including an operator seat, and structure for movably mounting the seat deck assembly to the main body. The seat deck assembly moves relative to the main body along a varying radius path.
Abstract:
An operator's compartment for an industrial vehicle comprises a platform floor, an operator's seat, at least one presence sensing device and a control module. The operator's seat has a base structure coupled to the platform floor and an operator support coupled to the base structure such that the operator support may be rotated with respect to the platform floor. Each provided presence sensing device is arranged to sense an operator's presence in a predetermined location in or about the operator's compartment and the control module is configured to control at least one operation of the vehicle based upon a rotational position of the operator's seat and a signal from at least one of the presence sensing device(s).
