A truck-mounted vacuum material handler and quick disconnect for use on a truck with a with a boom for handling plate steel. The handler includes a coupler [32] that has a boom connector [44], a removable carrier [36, 38] with a carrier connector [60], and a base [34] located between the boom connector and the removable carrier. A locking mechanism [66] located in the base is arranged to move between an unlocked position and a locked position relative to the carrier connector. In the unlocked position the carrier connector is removable from the base. In the locked position the carrier connector is secured in the opening and opposing face surfaces [48, 50, 62] of the base and removable carrier are mated to one another. The removable carrier may include a rotator-receiving recess [42] or a rigging hardware eyelet [40] arranged opposite the carrier connector.

A link member of a gripping assembly, which is suitable for weighing of each load during reloading, may include a rotatable gripping assembly or similar appliance mounted on the arm of a hydraulic crane, which is suitable for mounting onto a motor vehicle and then for manipulating with each load, the weight of which can be measuring during said manipulating. The link member may be provided by modifying a known link member, which is generally used for attachment of each gripping assembly, together with a rotator, to each crane arm, such that in addition to the attachment of the gripping assembly the link member may enable weighing of each load during each manipulating therewith by means of the crane and each gripping assembly, wherein the determining of each weight of the load may be performed precisely and accurately despite to movement and rotation of the load.

A bulldozer includes a blade disposed in front of a vehicle body. First and second cameras are disposed to the left and right of the vehicle body, respectively. A first optical axis of the first camera faces forward and downward. The first camera is arranged to capture a first image of a gap between a lower edge of the blade and the left crawler belt. A second optical axis of the second camera faces forward and downward. The second camera is arranged to capture a second image of a gap between a lower edge of the blade and the right crawler belt. A display is configured to display the first and second images side-by-side.

Systems, apparatus and methods are described where a heater is arranged adjacent to a pipe make/break vise assembly to heat a female tool joint of two pipe sections connected by threads to facilitate breaking or disconnection of the joint. The heater can have any configuration or can be used in any manner to result in even heating around the circumference of the female tool joint. In addition, the heater can be incorporated into the same apparatus as the make/break vise assembly, or the heater can be an apparatus that is separate from the apparatus containing the make/break vise assembly. In one embodiment, the heater can be used as a stand-alone heater to heat the female tool joint.

A grabbing device having a plurality of jaws which can be moved between an open position and a closed position to enable the device to grasp an object(s). The technology finds particular application in the forestry industry and moving logs.

A bulldozer includes a blade disposed in front of a vehicle body. First and second cameras are disposed to the left and right of the vehicle body, respectively. A first optical axis of the first camera faces forward and downward. The first camera overlaps a left crawler belt as seen in a plan view of the bulldozer and is arranged to capture a first image of a gap between a lower edge of the blade and the left crawler belt. A second optical axis of the second camera faces forward and downward. The second camera overlaps a right crawler belt as seen in a plan view of the bulldozer and is arranged to capture a second image of a gap between a lower edge of the blade and the right crawler belt. A display is configured to display the first and second images side-by-side.

A bulldozer has a protective structure. The protective structure includes a left pillar portion, a right pillar portion, and a beam portion. The left pillar portion is disposed to the left of a cab and extends in the up-down direction. The right pillar portion is disposed to the right of the cab and extends in the up-down direction. The beam portion is disposed above the cab and couples the left pillar portion and the right pillar portion. A first camera is attached to the left pillar portion and is disposed so that a first optical axis faces forward and downward. A second camera is attached to the right pillar portion and is disposed so that a second optical axis faces forward and downward.
