Lift device with implement stabilization

A lift device comprising:

• a chassis;
• an implement assembly including an implement actuator;
• and
• a lift assembly coupling the implement assembly to the chassis and configured to raise the implement assembly relative to the chassis;
• wherein at least one of:
• the lift device further comprises a gyroscope assembly coupled with the implement assembly and configured to stabilize the implement assembly, the gyroscope assembly including:
• a housing;
• and
• a flywheel rotatably coupled to the housing;
• wherein rotation of the flywheel causes the gyroscope assembly to apply a force to the implement assembly to oppose movement of the implement assembly;
• the lift device further comprises a hydraulic stabilization system coupled with the implement assembly and configured to stabilize the implement assembly, the hydraulic stabilization system including:
• a fluid source fluidly coupled with the implement actuator;
• a valve assembly fluidly coupled between the fluid source and the implement actuator along a first supply line, the valve assembly actuatable between (i) an open position to permit a flow of fluid between the fluid source and the implement actuator via the first supply line and (ii) a closed position to inhibit the flow of fluid between the fluid source and the implement actuator via the first supply line;
• and
• an orifice fluidly coupled between the fluid source and the implement actuator along a second supply line, the orifice restricting the flow of fluid therethrough;
• wherein, responsive to movement of the implement assembly when the valve is in the closed position, fluid flowing between the implement actuator and the fluid source is directed through the orifice via the second supply line, thereby restricting the flow of fluid and dampening the movement of the implement assembly;
• or
• the lift assembly includes a first boom portion and a second boom portion, wherein a first material or a first thickness of the first boom portion is different than a second material or a second thickness of the second boom portion, respectively, such that the first boom portion is capable of supporting a load greater than a load capable of being supported by the second boom portion.
