Abstract
Abstract of Disclosure Method and device for controlling specific functions of a load-carrying vehicle when dumping and/or loading the load-carrying platform of the vehicle. The device includes a maneuvering organ (control input) that is arranged in the cabin of the load-carrying vehicle for hand maneuvering by the driver. The maneuvering organ (control input) is coupled to at least one of the brakes of the load-carrying vehicle and to the gearbox of the load-carrying vehicles so that it when activated may activate the brake and select a neutral position in the gearbox.

A device for controlling specific functions in a load-carrying vehicle when dumping and/or loading the load-carrying platform of the vehicle, the device comprising a maneuvering organ which is arranged in the cabin of the load-carrying vehicle for hand maneuvering by the driver, with the maneuvering organ being coupled to at least one of the brakes of the load-carrying vehicle and to the gearbox of the load-carrying vehicles, so that the device, when activated, may activate the brakes and achieve a neutral position of the gearbox.
A method for controlling specific functions of a load-carrying vehicle when dumping and/or loading the load-carrying platform of the vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting maneuvering of a hand maneuvering organ arranged in the cabin of the load-carrying vehicle, and
- activating at least one of the brakes of the vehicle and causing the gearbox of the load-carrying vehicle to assume a neutral position when the maneuvering of the hand maneuvering organ is detected.
A control device for a load-carrying vehicle with a plurality of brakes and a gearbox having a neutral position, the device comprising:
- a control unit coupled to at least one of the brakes and to the gearbox;
- a maneuvering control for operation by a driver, the maneuvering control in signal communication with the control unit, the maneuvering control generating a signal for activating at least one of the brakes and for selecting the neutral position of the gearbox when the maneuvering control is activated.
A method for controlling a load-carrying vehicle when dumping and/or loading the load-carrying platform of the vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting activation of a maneuvering control by a driver of the vehicle;
- automatically sending a first signal for activating at least one of the brakes of the vehicle when OLE_LINK1activation of the maneuvering control is detectedOLE_LINK1;
- and
- automatically sending a second signal for causing the gearbox to select a neutral position when activation of the maneuvering control is detected.
