ABSTRACT

A lift device includes a lift apparatus configured to raise and lower a
robotic attachment and a base assembly configured to support the lift
apparatus. The base assembly includes a prime mover configured to rotate one
or more wheels coupled to the base assembly. The lift device also includes a
controller in communication with at least one of the lift apparatus and the
robotic attachment. The robotic attachment includes robotic implement moveable
independent of the lift apparatus, a stabilizer bar coupled to the robotic
implement and configured to selectively provide a stabilizing force to the
robotic attachment, and a locking mechanism configured to selectively hold the
stabilizer in a locked position.
