    摘要: A counterweight assembly for a work machine includes a structure, support studs, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The structure is coupled to a frame of the work machine and defines through holes, a first side end, and a second side end. The support studs are coupled to the frame and correspondingly received into the through holes to support the structure against the frame. The first side wall extends from the first side end and defines a first eyelet. The second side wall extends from the second side end and defines a second eyelet. A work machine guard rail is received between the first side wall and second side wall. One or more of the first eyelet and the second eyelet receive a lifting assembly for lifting the work machine, and the support studs transfer a lifting force from the counterweight assembly to the frame.

    摘要: A work machine (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) having precisely one main vehicle axle (3), wheel elements (4.1, 4.2) arranged on the main vehicle axle (3) on both sides, and a working unit (2) or a holder (9) for a working unit. The working unit (2) is arranged on a vehicle frame (12) by means of at least one pivot arm (6, 6.1, 6.2) with at least one rotatably mounted working arm (7, 7.1, 7.2). The work machine (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) also includes at least one displaceable weight (5, 5.1, 5,2), which is arranged on the vehicle frame (12) by means of at least one rod system (11, 11.1, 11.2), wherein an exclusive movement channel (16.1, 16.2, 16.3, 16.4, 16.5, 16.6, 16.7, 16.8, 16.9, 16.10) along the vehicle longitudinal axis (14) is assigned to each of the displaceable weight(s) (5, 5.1, 5.2), the rod system(s) (11, 11.1, 11.2) and the pivot arms (6, 6.1, 6.2) with the working arms (7, 7.1, 7.2).

    摘要: A cover mounting bracket (16) is provided on an upper side of a left weight part (11) and a right weight part (12) constituting a counterweight (10). The cover mounting bracket (16) is formed as a U-shaped frame with the counterweight (10) side open by a left extending member (17) extending forward from the upper side of the left weight part (11), a right extending member (18) extending forward from the upper side of the right weight part (12), and a connecting member (19) connecting the front side of the left extending member (17) and the front side of the right extending member (18). A prime mover cover (28) is supported on the connecting member (19) of the cover mounting bracket (16) rotatably in a vertical direction through a hinge (31). The prime mover cover (28) is moved between an open position where an inspection opening (15) of the counterweight (10) is opened and a closed position where the inspection opening (15) is closed around the hinge (31).

    摘要: A construction vehicle includes a vehicle body defining a first end and a second end. A construction vehicle also includes a guard assembly disposed proximate to the second end of the vehicle body. A construction vehicle includes a mounting assembly removably coupling the guard assembly with the vehicle body. Further, the mounting assembly includes a first mounting structure including a plurality of side plates defining a cavity and a first mounting plate coupled with the plurality of side plates. The mounting assembly also includes a second mounting structure removably coupled with the first mounting structure, the second mounting structure including a second mounting plate and a third mounting plate angularly disposed relative to the second mounting plate. Moreover, the guard assembly is in alignment with the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate for coupling the guard assembly with the mounting assembly.
