A high-speed mass transport system having a monorail track disposed along a travel path and a monorail car with a driving unit suspended from the monorail track and a commuter car selectively attached to the driving unit. The high-speed mass transport system having also having an omnidirectional wheel transporter being adapted to selectively raise and lower to engage the commuter car, thus allowing the commuter car to detach from and reattach to the driving unit.

A rail coaster operates as a cross between a roller coaster and a zip line. A rail may be suspended under a frame by flexible cables or solid brackets. The rail may turn, incline, decline, or twist, but need not twist to still provide a “rolling” degree of freedom for a rider. An eddy current brake provides proportional braking as a function of speed. A cam-adjustment-axle (eccentric) carries certain wheels to provide finely divided, discrete, but incrementally small adjustments of idler wheel clearances to accommodate variations in the rail, wheel wear, and onsite adjustment of tolerances for curvature, unevenness, and friction. A “static universal” bracket provides adjustment in four degrees of freedom, three of translation and one of rotation in securing a rail to a supporting frame.

A frame structure of a hoist, the frame structure including a support frame structure, a bearing wheel arrangement fastened to the support frame structure by suspenders to support the hoist on a main support structure and to move the hoist on the main support structure, whereby the bearing wheel arrangement includes, in the movement direction of the hoist, bearing wheels arranged on opposite sides thereof, and upper sheave arrangements secured to the support frame structure, wherein the support frame structure includes two plates arranged opposite and at a distance from each other, the upper parts of the plates bent towards each other, and in the support frame structure there is arranged an axle passing through both plates, on which axle a sheave is arranged between the plates, and the bent upper parts of the plates are detachably fastenable by a wedge locking to the suspender in order to adjust the mutual distance between the bearing wheels arranged on opposite sides of the support frame structure by means of the suspenders.

An appliance-support system in accordance with the present disclosure includes a truss and a positioning system coupled to the truss. The positioning system is adapted to support an appliance, such as a video display, light, speaker, or other device used during stage performances or events.

A transport vehicle is provided. The transport vehicle includes a front driving device including front wheels, a front drive shaft transmitting a driving force to the front wheels, and a front vibration reduction device, and a rear driving device including rear wheels, a rear drive shaft transmitting a driving force to the rear wheels, and a rear vibration reduction device, wherein, when the transport vehicle moves in a straight section, the front vibration reduction device and the rear vibration reduction device are coupled to each other, and when the transport vehicle moves in a corner section, the front vibration reduction device and the rear vibration reduction device are separated from each other.
