Patent attributes
A telehandler comprising: a chassis; an axle supporting the chassis; a pivotal connection between the axle and the chassis; and a chassis positioning system. The pivotal connection is configured to enable rotation of the chassis relative to the axle for varying a chassis-axle tilt angle defined between a longitudinal axis of the axle and the chassis. The chassis positioning system comprises: a chassis angle sensor configured to measure an angular position of the chassis relative to gravity; an actuator configured to rotate the chassis relative to the axle at the pivotal connection; and a control system configured, in a first mode, to control the actuator to thereby control the chassis-axle tilt angle based on the measured angular position of the chassis.
