A modular extendable trolley (100) including a front module (1) of a loading and unloading floor, a rear module (2) of the loading and unloading floor, a connection module (3) between the front module (1) and the rear module (2), four wheels (4, 40, 4, 40) for the movement of the trolley, a drawbar (10) to give direction to the trolley, a tow hook (11) for hooking an additional trolley into a train of trolleys, wherein the front module (1) and the rear module (2) of the loading and unloading floor comprise extensible side portions (1, 1, 2, 2) and the connection module (3) comprises a longitudinal portion (3) extendable to vary the dimensions of the trolley (100) itself.

The present invention provides a tow bar assembly, which may be retrofitted to a dolly while maintaining convenient space saving properties of permanently fitted tow bars. The novel tow bar assembly includes a tow bar, a shaft and a biasing member, such as a spring, biasing the tow bar towards an upright orientation about an axis of revolution. The shaft has a first end and a second end, which opposes the first end. The shaft connects the tow bar to the dolly from the ends so as to provide rotation of the tow bar in respect to the dolly about the axis of revolution. The shaft features an inner cavity, which extends along the axis of revolution. The biasing member is arranged into the cavity of the shaft and rotationally secured thereto. The shaft also features a first end plug at the first end of the shaft for enclosing the biasing member to the cavity. The first end plug rotationally locks the biasing member to the dolly.

Various embodiments herein relate to powered pusher devices configured to push wheeled objects from one location to another. Further embodiments relate to wheeled objects such as carts for transporting items from one location to another. Other embodiments relate to platform powered pushers that can be coupled to a family of various wheeled objects.

A garbage cart assembly for includes a cart and a plurality of garbage containers that are positioned on the cart. The cart is selectively rolled along a support surface thereby facilitating the plurality of garbage containers to be transported along the support surface. A cage is coupled to the cart to inhibit the plurality of garbage containers from falling off of the cart. A dolly is provided and the dolly is selectively rolled along the support surface. The dolly is selectively and removably coupled to the cart thereby facilitating the cart to be urged along the support surface.

A method and apparatus for joining at least one daughter cart to a mother cart utilize a coupling system having first and second coupling rails attached to one of the mother and daughter cart frames, and a third coupling rail attached to the other of the mother and daughter cart frames. The coupling rails all extend in a parallel manner to one another in a direction generally perpendicular to a primary transport direction and parallel the underlying surface, when engaged for conveying the daughter cart with the mother cart. The third coupling rail is retained in a channel between the first and second coupling rails, in such a manner that the daughter cart is coupled to and moves with the mother cart as the mother cart is moved in the primary transport direction while the third coupling rail is positioned in the channel between the first and second coupling rails.

An adjustable rack assembly includes a base frame defining an upper end and an open front side and an extension frame defining an upper end, a bottom end and an open front side. The extension frame is slidably mounted to the base frame. The assembly further includes an actuator coupled between the base frame and the extension frame and operable to move the extension frame between a collapsed position and an extended position. A compartment unit is supported by the extension frame and is at least partially collapsible to accommodate the movement of the extension frame between the collapsed position and the extended position.

A dolly cart rail and lock system configured to secure one or more dolly carts within a vehicle is provided. The dolly cart rail and lock system includes a first upper rail connected to a platform of the vehicle. The first upper rail having a first end. A second upper rail opposes the first upper rail and is connected to the platform of the vehicle. The second upper rail has a first end. A bulkhead assembly connects the first end of the first upper rail and the first end of the second upper rail. A plurality of spaced apart pocket assemblies is attached to the first and second upper rails. At least one lock assembly is connected to the pocket assemblies and is configured to engage the dolly carts such as to limit movement of the dolly carts in a front-to-back direction.
