An air cart for distributing air entrained particulate material from a chamber or tank to a plurality of distribution lines for application to an agricultural field has a tank refilling feature utilizing air flow from the cart distribution system or from a dedicated pneumatic source. The cart conveying system air flow is diverted and passed through an assembly containing multiple venturis which also receives particulate material from a supply source. The air entrained material from the source is conveyed to and gently deposited in the cart tank. Exhaust air from the tank may be directed back into the cart conveying system or vented through an air diffuser located beneath the cart. Exhaust air which is directed back to the cart conveying system may return to a location closely adjacent that from which it was originally diverted.

The present invention relates to a detachably attachable moving headboard trailer ejector and floor cleaning apparatus for use with a self-unloading trailer having a front end, a rear end, side walls, and either a reciprocating slat conveyor floor or a conveyor belt floor. The invention comprises, in one embodiment, a base, a panel sweeper, one or more panel sweeper support members, a means for traversing the panel sweeper, a tether bar, side flanges, and a base flange. In use, the invention is placed in the front end of a self-unloading trailer and the trailer is loaded with material; when material is ejected from the trailer, the invention transverses or “travels” along the top of the moving floor and pushes the material out of the trailer's back end. The rubber flanges ensure a snug fit within the trailer and keep post ejection residual material at a minimum.

An apparatus for use with a vehicle tailgate includes a base, a first attachment member, a second attachment member and a ramp. The first attachment member and second attachment member are spaced apart from each other and extend from the base. The ramp is irremovably secured to the base. The attachment members are configured to be received in a latch of the vehicle tailgate.

The present invention relates to a load handling equipment and, more specifically, to an equipment for handling load bales tied with wire. The equipment of the present invention comprises at least one locating portion (11, 110, 1100), the locating portion (11, 110, 1100) comprising a gripping element (12, 120, 1200) formed by two gripping parts which move away and approximate to get the tie wire, wherein approaching and moving away the gripping parts is accomplished by means of a pneumatic cylinder (14, 140, 1400).

A machine for extracting infill from artificial turf includes a first conveyor forming an inclined surface having movable tracks to engage and move a length of artificial turf from a first end to a second end of the machine. A rake disposed on the first end of the machine may include teeth configured to engage an underside of the turf for feeding onto the first conveyer. The machine may also include a first roller disposed above the first conveyor, where the first roller is movable to apply a downward force to a top surface of the first conveyor. The machine may further include a second roller on the second end of the machine, where the second roller includes protrusions that agitate the turf for assisting in removing infill. The machine may also include a second conveyor to receive infill removed from the turf for discharge from the machine.

A mobile fall protection unit can be maneuvered by hand and brought to a flatbed with readily deployable, temporary fences for worker fall protection. The mobile fall protection unit can include a chassis, which carries a frame, which in turn carries a ladder as well as selectively deployable fall protection devices for worker fall protection. The frame carries a pair of retractable fall barriers separated from each other by about the width of the back of the flatbed.

A control apparatus is a control apparatus that is communicably connected to a first vehicle and a second vehicle, the control apparatus including a controller configured to: identify the first vehicle as a transfer destination for a luggage item stored in the second vehicle; read a targeted relative relationship between the second vehicle and the first vehicle; control the second vehicle based on the targeted relative relationship; and when a difference between the targeted relative relationship and an actual relative relationship is within an allowable range, convey the luggage item from the second vehicle to the first vehicle using a conveyer of the first vehicle or the second vehicle.

A dump truck includes: a main frame that extends in a front-back direction of a vehicle body; an engine installed on the main frame; an exhaust aftertreatment device that is supported by the main frame and purifies exhaust gas from the engine; and a communication pipe having a first end connected to the engine and a second end connected to the exhaust aftertreatment device, in which the exhaust gas discharged from the engine flows to the exhaust aftertreatment device. The communication pipe includes: an upstream pipe extending from the engine to a lateral side thereof; a bellows pipe angularly connected to the upstream pipe and extending in an up-down direction; and a downstream pipe angularly connected to the bellows pipe.
