    Abstract: A lift device includes a lift base, a turntable supported on and rotatably coupled to the lift base, a boom assembly coupled to the turntable, a platform coupled to the boom assembly so that the boom assembly is configured to selectively raise and lower the platform assembly, and a plurality of tractive elements. Each of the plurality of tractive elements is coupled to the lift base by a carrier arm and a pendulum axle assembly. Each of the pendulum axle assemblies includes a pendulum linkage that is pivotally coupled between a respective one of the carrier arms and a respective one of the plurality of tractive elements. Each of the pendulum axle assemblies defines a steering axis that is centered along the respective one of the plurality of tractive elements.

    Abstract: A lift machine includes a chassis defining a longitudinal center axis, a boom assembly pivotable relative to the chassis, an axle pivotally coupled to the chassis and configured to pivot about the longitudinal center axis, an actuator positioned on a first lateral side of the longitudinal center axis and to facilitate selectively restricting oscillation of the axle, and a controller configured to operate the actuator in a reset mode in response to a tilt angle of the chassis exceeding a first angle threshold. During the reset mode, the controller is configured to (a) prohibit drive functionality of the lift machine and (b) lock the actuator to prevent oscillation of the axle until an elevation angle of the boom assembly is less than a second angle threshold.

    Abstract: A boom system includes a base assembly and a boom assembly. The boom assembly includes a boom including a plurality of boom sections. The plurality of boom sections includes a lower boom section coupled to and extending away from the base assembly and defining a proximal end of the boom and an upper boom section defining a distal end of the boom. The boom assembly further includes an attachment coupler assembly coupled to a boom section other than the upper boom section and configured to receive a first implement. The boom assembly further includes an implement connector positioned at the distal end of the boom, the implement connector configured to receive a second implement.

    Abstract: A lift device includes a lift apparatus and a base assembly. The lift apparatus is configured to raise and lower an implement assembly. The base assembly is configured to support the lift apparatus. The base assembly includes a deployable operator station transitionable between a deployed position and a stowed position. In the deployed position, the deployable operator station is configured to provide a seating and control arrangement for an operator. In the stowed position, the deployable operator station is substantially sealed from an external environment to limit access to the deployable operator station.

    Abstract: A lift device includes a lift apparatus for raising and lowering a robotic attachment. The lift apparatus includes a base assembly, the base assembly including a prime mover to rotate one or more wheels. The robotic attachment includes a base, a primary robotic implement, and a secondary robotic implement, each moveable independent of the base. The robotic attachment further includes a stabilizer bar coupled to the base and configured to engage with an external support to provide a stabilizing force to the robotic attachment. At least one of the primary robotic implement and the secondary robotic implement are configured to move one or more end effectors to perform a welding operation, including a weld gun, a weld lead, and a needle scaler. The lift apparatus may also include a control system configured to position the robotic implements in a plurality of preset positions.

    Abstract: A leveling system for a lift device includes an axle, a pin, a cradle, and a chassis. The axle is configured to rotatably couple with one or more tractive elements. The pin extends through a bore of the axle. The cradle is pivotally coupled with the pin. The chassis is pivotally coupled with the pin and includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator and the second actuator each include a body and a rod configured to extend relative to the body. The rods of the first actuator and the second actuator are configured to be extended to engage corresponding surfaces on opposite sides of the cradle. The cradle and the chassis are configured to rock in unison a limited angular amount relative to the axle.
