Abstract:

A deploying ladder assembly configured to be associated with a vehicle and configured to be selectively placed into a deployed position and a stowed position, the deploying ladder assembly comprising an outrigger, an actuator, a ladder support, and a ladder. The actuator is associated with the outrigger, and is configured to selectively move the outrigger between the deployed position and the stowed position. The ladder support apparatus configured to be secured to the utility vehicle. The ladder is secured to the outrigger and moveably secured to the ladder support apparatus. The actuator imparts a force on the ladder through the outrigger, such that the ladder is in the deployed position while the outrigger is in the deployed position and the ladder is in the stowed position while the outrigger is in the stowed position.

Abstract:

A stowable luffing jib provides easy installation to add luffing capabilities to a crane. The stowable luffing jib comprises a base trunnion, a jib assembly, and a cable strut. The base trunnion is secured to the boom assembly and can be selectively placed into a stowed position and a deployed position. While the base trunnion is in the stowed position, the base trunnion is secured along the boom assembly substantially parallel with and adjacent to the boom assembly. While the base trunnion is in the deployed position, the base trunnion is secured to a distal end of the boom assembly and oriented substantially in line with the boom assembly. The jib assembly is secured to the base trunnion and configured to pivot in a substantially vertical plane. The cable strut receives a luffing guy line so as to set an inclined angle of the cable strut relative to the base trunnion.

Abstract:

An operator cab for an operator of heavy equipment, the cab including a first opening and a second opening through which an operator can enter or exit the cab. The cab is mounted on the heavy equipment next to an implement for performing work. The first opening and the second opening of the cab are not generally parallel to each other. The cab is operable to rotate to a first position with respect to the deck of the heavy equipment, such that the operator can exit through the first opening and onto the deck. The cab is also operable to rotate to a second position with respect to the deck of the heavy equipment, such that the operator can exit through the second opening and onto the deck. The multiple openings in the cab assist the operator in safe ingress and egress to and from the deck and cab.
