Dynamic Characteristics for Leveling System of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms

Focused on revealing variations of dynamic characteristics of an auto-leveling system used in mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP) at large height, a unified mathematical model composited of a series of sub-models was built for the leveling systems. An effect on dynamic characteristics including the fast response and relative stability from varying-parameters was investigated. Results display...
