The present application relates to a transport for transporting a trailer stand. The transport for a trailer stand may be a portable trailer stand and may comprise one or more auxiliary trailer stands. The portable trailer stand may include a pedestal having a top for engaging and supporting the underside of the nose portion of a trailer, a bottom for engaging the ground, wheel means mounted on the pedestal for moving the stand along the ground to and from a position under the nose portion of a trailer, means for adjusting the height of said pedestal, and a member for engaging and securing the auxiliary trailer stand to the portable trailer stand.

A service line for servicing a vehicle includes stations disposed in a serial direction along the service line, each station including a pair of conveyors disposed along the serial direction, a driver side conveyor configured to support and convey driver side tires of the vehicle and a passenger side conveyor configured to support and convey passenger side tires of the vehicle.

A trailer dolly can include various features to be adjustable between a manual configuration and a vehicular towing configuration. In the manual configuration, a user can manually maneuver the trailer dolly to position the trailer, such as by using one or more retractable handles. Where the user desires to maneuver the trailer with a vehicle, the trailer dolly can be adjusted to the vehicle towing configuration. In an example, the trailer dolly can be coupled to the vehicle with a second hitch attached to the trailer dolly, the second hitch located distally along the tow bar with respect to the trailer hitch supporting the trailer load. Accordingly, the trailer dolly can be used for both manual and vehicular applications and the user can transition between the manual and vehicular configurations while the trailer is hitched to the trailer dolly.

The exemplary embodiments of the invention relate to methods for operating a transport system, which have a large number of transport mechanism and means. The invention further relates to a corresponding transport system.

The present invention is a personal watercraft lift and transporting cart. In particular, the present invention is directed to a lift that can lift and rotate a personal watercraft (PWC) so that repairs can be conducted more ergonomically. The lift preferably has two lifting arms attached to upright frame members. In turn, the upright frame members extend vertically from a mounting base. The lift also preferably has two actuators pivotally attached to the lifting arms at one end and attached to the mounting base at the other end. When the actuators extend, the lifting arms lift and rotate. The transporting cart preferably has a cart chassis, a hull bunk and two receivers, where the first and second receiver are spaced to allow insertion of the first and second lifting arms so that the cart can be lifted and rotated by the lift with PWC mounted on the cart.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for driving anomaly detection based on spatio-temporal landscape-specific driving models are provided herein. A method includes generating, for each of multiple users, a temporally-related driving skill model pertaining to one or more landscapes, wherein the model is based on temporally-related driving data associated with the users and landscape-related information of trips driven by the users; monitoring the users participating in a ride-sharing trip in a vehicle by analyzing ride-sharing trip data; detecting driving-related anomalies attributed to the monitored users by comparing the ride-sharing trip data and the respective temporally-related driving skill model for each monitored user; updating a schedule for the trip based on the detected anomalies and estimated conditions attributed to remaining portions of the trip by modifying an assignment of selected users to drive the vehicle during the remaining portions of the trip; and outputting the updated schedule to the selected users.

Maneuverable ergonomic trailer stands are disclosed. An example portable trailer stand includes: an elongate upper ledge, a post coupled to the upper ledge, an extendible leg telescopically coupled to the post, the upper ledge being vertically movable to selectively engage and disengage an underside of a trailer based on movement of the extendible leg relative to the post, and a plurality of wheels coupled to the post, the post to maintain the plurality of wheels at a substantially fixed distance from the upper ledge as the upper ledge is vertically moved, each of the plurality of wheels to be equidistant from a vertical axis traversing through a center of the upper ledge.

A trolley for a vehicle wheel with a flat tire and a kit having the same are disclosed. The trolley can include a cradle with a bottom wall, a pair of side walls, a front wheel abutment, a front deck projecting from the abutment, and an open rear end having a pivotable ramp; a pair of rear wheels; and a front wheel assembly coupled to the front deck having a pair of arms, a pair of front wheels, and a brake assembly. The brake assembly can have a pair of brake pads configured to contact the front wheels when in an engaging position. The trolley can include a pair of posts projecting downward from the front deck, and the front wheel assembly can include a tine projecting rearward that contacts the posts when rotated. The kit can include the trolley and straps for coupling the trolley to the vehicle wheel.
