A work vehicle includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, a liquid tank, a front-wheel fender, a rear-wheel fender, a floor portion, and an electric-component room. The front wheel, the rear wheel, and the liquid tank are supported by a vehicle body. The front-wheel fender is disposed to surround a portion around the front wheel. The rear-wheel fender is disposed to surround a portion around the rear wheel. The floor portion is provided between a lower end portion of the front-wheel fender and a lower end portion of the rear-wheel fender. The electric-component room is provided on an upper surface of the floor portion, and houses electric components in a space formed with the floor portion. The electric-component room is disposed at an outer side of the liquid tank in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle body.

The present invention relates to a hitch step that may be secured to a vehicle in a hitch receiver, and a method of manufacturing the same, that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. The present invention provides a multi-step pressurization method that produces a strong, compact hitch step that is cost effect to manufacture.

A running board assembly of a vehicle is disclosed herein. A deployment mechanism is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A plurality of step pads are coupled to the deployment mechanism and are each movable between an undeployed position and a deployed position. When the plurality of step pads are each in the deployed position and the deployment mechanism is in the extended position, the plurality of step pads are arranged as a stairway leading up to an entryway of the vehicle.

A boat trailer stair system is provided for facilitating access to a boat supported by a trailer. The system includes an A-frame configured stairway having interconnected forward and rearward frame sections that angularly diverge from top to bottom for positioning adjacent to a vessel supported on the boat trailer. The upper ends of the frame sections are interconnected and the diverging lower ends are fastened to longitudinally spaced apart locations on a longitudinal beam of the boat trailer. At least one of the frame sections supports a plurality of steps that ascend the frame section adjacent to the hull of a supported vessel. A pair of interconnected stairways may be mounted to the trailer on respective sides of the supported boat.

The present invention is directed to a truck step that is typically used with a lifted truck. The steps on the truck step have additional space for receiving a user's foot, shoe, or boot. The additional space is created by compressing a main bar on its bottom surface thereby creating an indentation in the main bar just above the truck step. The utility of the present invention is related to improving access to the truck step while at the same time providing a low profile appearance that does not distract or diminish the appearance of a lifted truck with a low hanging step.

A vehicle includes a body, a rear bumper, and a sweeper assembly is provided. The body has a forward end, a rear end, and a cavity provided therein extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The cavity has an opening at the rear end of the body. The rear bumper has an upper surface and is provided at the rear end of the body of the vehicle. The sweeper assembly includes a push plate movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The push plate is stored within the cavity of the body when in the retracted position and extends over the upper surface of the rear bumper when in the extended position to clear debris off the upper surface of the rear bumper.

A rideable golf cycle adapted to transport a rider and a golf bag for use on a golf course. The cycle includes a frame and a seat, a front wheel and steering components, a rear wheel, an inclined bag support structure extending between the legs of the rider, and a motor/control subassembly.

A support device having an elongated support member for providing protection to an underside of a vehicle. The vehicle can have one or more pinch welds, such as a vehicle with a unibody chassis. The support device can serve as a rock rail to distribute a point load from an external object, such as a rock or a boulder, to a larger area of the vehicle to minimize high loading forces to a single point. The support device can alternatively be a running board.

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.
