Leveling system for lift device
A lift device includes a chassis having a first end and an opposing second end, a first actuator coupled to the first end, a second actuator coupled to the first end, a third actuator coupled to the opposing second end; and a fourth actuator coupled to the opposing second end. The first actuator and the second actuator are selectively engageable to facilitate providing active control of a first pitch adjustment and a first roll adjustment of the first end of the chassis. The third actuator and the fourth actuator are (i) selectively fluidly couplable to facilitate providing passive control of a second pitch adjustment and a second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis and (ii) selectively fluidly decouplable to facilitate providing active control of the second pitch adjustment and the second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis.
1. A lift device comprising:
a chassis having a first end and an opposing second end;
a boom coupled to the chassis;
a first actuator coupled to the first end of the chassis;
a second actuator coupled to the first end of the chassis;
a third actuator coupled to the opposing second end of the chassis; and
a fourth actuator coupled to the opposing second end of the chassis;
wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are selectively engageable to facilitate providing active control of a first pitch adjustment and a first roll adjustment of the first end of the chassis;
wherein the third actuator and the fourth actuator are (i) selectively fluidly couplable to facilitate providing passive control of a second pitch adjustment and a second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis and (ii) selectively fluidly decouplable to facilitate providing active control of the second pitch adjustment and the second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis;
wherein the third actuator and the fourth actuator are configured to be selectively fluidly coupled during a driving mode and operation of the boom is limited during the driving mode; and
wherein the first actuator, the second actuator, the third actuator, and the fourth actuator are configured to be actively controlled while the boom is in use.
2. The lift device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more valves positioned to facilitate selectively isolating the third actuator and the fourth actuator from a high pressure fluid source.
3. The lift device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more valves positioned to facilitate selectively fluidly coupling the third actuator to the fourth actuator.
4. The lift device of claim 1 , wherein the first actuator, the second actuator, the third actuator, and the fourth actuator are configured to be returned to a nominal position to facilitate establishing a reference for a sensor.
5. The lift device of claim 4 , further comprising the sensor, wherein the sensor includes at least one of a displacement sensor, a roll sensor, a pitch sensor, or a load sensor.
6. A lift device comprising:
a chassis having a first end and an opposing second end;
a boom coupled to the chassis;
a first actuator coupled to the first end of the chassis;
a second actuator coupled to the first end of the chassis;
a third actuator coupled to the opposing second end of the chassis; and
a fourth actuator coupled to the opposing second end of the chassis;
wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are selectively engageable to facilitate providing active control of a first pitch adjustment and a first roll adjustment of the first end of the chassis;
wherein the third actuator and the fourth actuator are (i) selectively fluidly couplable to facilitate providing passive control of a second pitch adjustment and a second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis and (ii) selectively fluidly decouplable to facilitate providing active control of the second pitch adjustment and the second roll adjustment of the opposing second end of the chassis; and
wherein a speed of the lift device is limited during use of the boom.
