Abstract: The present disclosure relates to double acting suspension axle assemblies that can be used to facilitate mobility of a heavy load transporter and/or to adjust a deck height of the heavy load transporter. Each axle assembly includes a wheel assembly and a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. The double acting suspension axle provides the ability to force the hydraulic cylinder of each axle assembly to fully retract without relying solely on gravity. The double acting suspension axle assembly may be incorporated directly into or permanently affixed to other large structures, such as mobile robots, large tooling structures, gantry cranes, or other large machinery to provide the precise control of mobility and forced lowering capabilities.

Abstract: A first communication passage is coupled to a left wheel cylinder pressure chamber at an upper vehicle side and a right wheel cylinder pressure chamber at a lower vehicle side to be communicated with each other, and a second communication passage is coupled to a left wheel cylinder pressure chamber at the lower vehicle side and a right wheel cylinder pressure chamber at the upper vehicle side to be communicated with each other. Between the first and second communication passages is a valve mechanism so that the first and second communication passages are normally communicated with each other, and fluid flow from one of the first communication passage and the second communication passage to the other is blocked, when a pressure difference, caused when fluid moves from one of the first communication passage and the second communication passage to the other, becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A multi-point hydraulic suspension system for a land vehicle has two or more individual hydraulic actuators. These two or more actuators are each operatively arranged between a suspended structure and a wheeled base of the land vehicle for relative positioning one another. A common supply of pressurized fluid has a given pressure and a selectively operable pump with an inlet and an outlet, for increasing the given pressure of the common supply of pressurized fluid. A fluid reservoir is in selective fluid communication with the inlet of the pump. Controllable valve means are interposed between each of the two or more actuators and the common supply of pressurized fluid for selectively bringing each of the two or more actuators into fluid communication with the common supply of pressurized fluid in response to a control unit for controlling the valve means and the pump.
