The first leveling technology was developed by Holt Co., a US company in California, in 1891. [18] Modern leveling came into being with the invention and patent of a level sensitive mercury switch system invented by Raymond Alvah Hanson in 1946. [19] A leveling system was also developed in Europe by the Italian combine manufacturer Laverda.
The same system was applied to the Land Rover in the 1980s when these vehicles adopted the Range Rover's coil spring suspension. In the 1990s Land Rover, in pursuit of the same blend of on- and off-road ability, developed an air suspension system that was both self-levelling and height adjustable .
A leveling kit usually consists of stronger front springs to lift the front end ride height so that it matches the rear ride height. This gives a more balanced/level look to the vehicle when unloaded/empty and increases offroad capability/angles at the cost of less traction, handling, aerodynamics and head lifting when loaded with cargo in the ...
Inclined elevator design is based on the same basic technology as conventional, vertical elevator. [6] In general standard elevator equipment can be adapted for systems with an inclines up 10 ° from vertical, while an incline with more than 20° from vertical will require some additional adaptation.
A hydropneumatic system combines the advantages of hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems so that gas absorbs excessive force and liquid in hydraulics directly transfers force. The suspension system usually features both self-leveling and driver-variable ride height, to provide extra clearance in rough terrain.
Modern automatic level in use on a construction site. A level is an optical instrument used to establish or verify points in the same horizontal plane in a process known as levelling. It is used in conjunction with a levelling staff to establish the relative height or levels (the vertical separation) of objects or marks.
