    摘要: A rollback wrecker vehicle is disclosed. The wrecker vehicle features a pivotable truck bed, which can slide back and tilt downwards to form a ramp-like structure, facilitated by a hydraulic motor and a threaded rod assembly. The wrecker vehicle is particularly advantageous in confined spaces, enabling safer and more efficient vehicle loading onto the wrecker deck without causing damage. Additionally, the truck bed, varying in length from 15 to 24 feet, incorporates C-channels along the threaded rod assembly for added support and alignment. A wheel lift device is included which slides along the truck bed and employs a hydraulic cylinder to lift vehicles. The device includes a wheel lift member with yokes and a hydraulic cylinder for lifting vehicle wheels.

    摘要: A wheel grid includes a crossbar configured to be coupled to a boom of a tow vehicle, the crossbar extending in a lateral direction from a centerline to a distal tip, and an L-arm rotatably coupled to the crossbar at a proximal end of the L-arm and configured to rotate about a rotation axis from an engaged position to a stowed position. As the L-arm rotates from the engaged position to the stowed position, the L-arm intersects with a line parallel to the rotation axis and passing through the distal tip of the crossbar. In the stowed position, an entirety of the L-arm is positioned closer than the distal tip of the crossbar to the centerline of the crossbar in the lateral direction.

    摘要: A tow aid system used while operating a towing vehicle adapted to tow a towed vehicle, the towing vehicle comprising an underlift arm extending rearward from the towing vehicle, wherein the underlift arm is adapted to lift at least a part of the vehicle for towing. The tow aid system comprises: a plurality of geometry sensors and force sensors mounted to components of the towing vehicle that are indicative of a load applied on the underlift arm while holding the part of the towed vehicle in a towing position; and a controller processing the signals from the sensors to calculate the payload resulting from lifting the part of the towed vehicle, and operating limits of the towing vehicle.

    摘要: A vehicle system includes a chassis and a lift assembly. The chassis includes a frame defining a first aperture and a second aperture. The lift assembly includes an adapter assembly and a lift device. The adapter assembly includes (a) an adapter defining a first pin aperture, a second pin aperture, and an adapter aperture, (b) a first pin extending through the first aperture and the first pin aperture and a second pin extending through the second aperture and the second pin aperture to selectively couple the adapter to the frame, and (c) a cross member configured to be received by the adapter aperture. The lift device includes a pair of receivers configured to engage the cross member of the adapter assembly to support the cross member. The first pin aperture and the adapter aperture each extend laterally when the adapter is coupled to the frame.

    摘要: A vehicle recovery unit for use with an operating vehicle. The vehicle recovery unit has a frame, a mounting system coupled to the frame, a boom assembly, a pivoting horse head assembly coupled to the boom assembly, a winch, and a cable wound upon the winch. The frame has an angled front plate and a rear plate. The mounting system is configured for releasable attachment to the operating vehicle. The boom assembly is coupled to the frame and extends beyond the front plate of the frame.

    摘要: A leveling system for a lift device includes a control system. The control system has programmed instructions to acquire operation data regarding operation of the lift device, fluidly couple a first leveling actuator and a second leveling actuator based on the operation data, acquire an update regarding the operation data, fluidly decouple the first leveling actuator and the second leveling actuator based on the update regarding the operation data, and selectively control the first leveling actuator and the second leveling actuator to (i) selectively reposition a first tractive element and a second tractive element relative to each other about a longitudinal axis defined by the lift device and (ii) selectively reposition the first tractive element and the second tractive element about a first lateral axis defined by the lift device.
