Overview
List of desired features that should try to be worked into the design of the LifeCat
Safety Features
- Seat belt
- Structurally sound occupant enclosure
- Screen/glass/clear plastic on sides to ensure limbs cannot get caught in lift arms
- 360deg field of view
- Parking Brake - Hydraulically inactivated - No idea how to do this
- Roll over Protection (ROPS)
Design Features
- Bob-Tac Quick Attach - Universal Quick Attach Plate
- Auxiliary hydraulics at lifter arm bend on left side
- Protected hose routing
- Quick couplers
- Maximum reach at flatbed truck height ~ 60"
- Headlights mounting location
- Dome light
- Design for counterweight location
- Cab forward location
- Cup holder - Everyone loves cup holders!
- Adjustable seat - Unlikely though
Drive Train
- One hydraulic motor for each side, chain drive to wheels
- Bobcat S630 is using 120 High Strength Chain while other models use 80 HSC
- Chain case
- Wheel mounting that transfers non-rotational load to frame, not axle
- Here is a good movie about the skid steering mechanism [[1]]
Frame
- Tie down locations for transport
- Bolt together base frame
- Not sure if actually feasable and maintaining required alignments and strength
