A hand truck that is reconfigurable between one or more hand truck operational configurations and a hand truck stowed configuration is provided. The hand truck comprises a primary wheel assembly that is aligned in a primary wheel operational configuration in the multiple hand truck operational configurations and a primary wheel stowed configuration in the hand truck stowed configuration.

The construction industry ranks among the largest and most dangerous industries in the world. To promote worker safety, government regulations require use of fall protection equipment, such as railings, many of which are expensive, wasteful, and/or time consuming to use. Accordingly, the present inventor devised some alternatives. One exemplary system incorporates a dual post base plate configured for attachment to a concrete floor via a single concrete anchor bolt, instead of the multiple bolts used conventionally, thereby reducing assembly time and cost. Another embodiment includes a rolling cart assembly which stores the rails in a side-by-side vertical arrangement and the base plates in an interleaved sequence, promoting easy access during installation and inventory control during disassembly and storage. Additionally, some embodiments include four stacking posts that extend upward from the cart, enabling multiple carts to be stacked vertical on atop the other to save space on construction sites.

A multipurpose cart is provided herein. The multipurpose cart includes a substantially flat main support frame, a wheel support frame, at least one wheel, and a tarp selectively connectable to the main support frame. The wheel support frame extends from an end of the main support frame and is inclined upwardly relative to a topside of the main support frame. The wheel support frame includes an axle that is spaced apart from an underside of the main support frame by an offset distance. The at least one wheel is rotatably connected to the axle and has a radius substantially equal to the offset distance. The tarp is configurable in an open position to rest on a majority of the cart. The tarp includes reinforcement straps connected to a lower surface of the tarp and further includes at least one retainer for selectively connected the tarp to the cart.

A chiminea cart apparatus for moving chimineas includes a base ring. A handle has a pair of arms extending from a base top side and a grip portion joining the pair of arms. Each of the pair of arms has a curved portion proximal the base ring and a straight portion extending from the curved portion to the grip portion. The curved portion is configured to accommodate a bulbous portion of a chiminea. A set of legs comprises a pair of back legs coupled to a base bottom side proximal the handle and a front leg coupled to the base bottom side opposite the handle. A pair of wheels is coupled to the pair of back legs and a support is coupled to the front leg.

This invention is directed to a kit of coolers that offers a number of improvements over the prior art. The coolers are modified to specifically accommodate frozen gel ice packs instead of ice cubes. Because there is no spill water, the coolers open with front-facing pull-out drawers. The coolers stack atop one another with interlocking parts. Easy transport is provided by a handle and wheels, which are attached to the bottom (main) bin. Internally, the cooler bins are compartmentalized horizontally or vertically with dividers. Hollow spaces within the walls and dividers of the bins accommodate frozen gel ice packs. Overall, the coolers are easier to pack and unpack, stack, load into a car, and transport on the ground than conventional ice chest coolers.

A drum transporter that can be used to move a drum from a first bed at a first location to a second bed at a second location is described. The drum transporter can be coupled to a drive cart and powered thereby. The drum transporter is operable to grab a drum on the first bed and pull the drum onto a support bed of the drum transporter for subsequent movement to the second location. The drum transporter is operable to push the drum off the support bed and onto the second bed.

A wheelbarrow (10) including a receptacle (12) comprising a tub for carrying a load of material; a wheel assembly facilitating movement of the wheelbarrow; a handle for controlling operation of the wheelbarrow; and a plurality of removable compartments (18, 19) located within the receptacle (12), each for containing a portion of the load of material. The receptacle (12) and each removable compartment (18, 19) are configured to interact with each other so as to, in use, hinder movement of each comportment (18, 19) relative to the receptacle (12).

Provided are container assemblies, including at least two containers detachably attached to one another by locking arrangements.

A mortuary human removal system with battery powered stairclimbing capability is disclosed having a mortuary body glide board, riveted to a top side of a commercially available battery powered stairclimbing hand truck. A multi-stage two wheeled prop stand is coupled to an opposing side of the hand truck longitudinal rails, which is designed to create two automatically latching positions of separation between the wheels and the hand truck rail. The shorter separation is used as an aid to safely lifting a human body on the mortuary human removal system to a first height above the ground. The second position is at a predetermined height for use as a fulcrum to tipping the foot end up and into an ambulance, hearse or other vehicle and be automatically folded up as the mortuary human removal system is pushed all the way into the vehicle.

A pull-behind carriage has an auxiliary wheel mounted on a reconfigurable drawbar. When the pull-behind carriage is converted to a push carriage, the drawbar is folded so that the auxiliary wheel is positioned on the ground to act as an extra, supporting wheel. Joints in the drawbar are palm operated and can be rotated without continuing to hold the joint. The drawbar may also serve to move the axle of the main wheels backwards when the carriage is converted from the pull-behind mode to the push mode.
