In an overhead line system, a first moving device is movable in the air between a first support post and a second support post. A first overhead line is stretched from the first moving device and connected to the first lifting device via the first support post. A second overhead line is stretched from the first moving device and connected to the second lifting device via the second support post. A second moving device is movable in the air between a third support post and a fourth support post. A third overhead line is stretched from the second moving device and connected to the third lifting device via the third support post. A fourth overhead line is stretched from the second moving device and connected to the fourth lifting device via the fourth support post. A suspension device is connected to the first moving device and the second moving device.

A bicycle storage assembly includes a vertically oriented track. A carriage is movable on the track from a loading position to a storage position, the storage position being elevated above the loading position. The carriage holds a tire and wheel assembly of the bicycle above the other in a storage, elevated position. In a first aspect the carriage comprising a pair of clamping members being devoid of any element that extends over an inside circumferential surface of a rim of the front or rear tire and wheel assembly in the storage position. A second aspect has nested enclosures to reduce storage space. A third aspect includes a movable member coupled to the carriage. The movable member inhibits removal of the bicycle in the storage position.

A trailer adapted to haul one or more reels for carrying conveyor belts is disclosed. The trailer includes a loading means to lift the reel on the deck of the trailer. The loading means includes two articulated arms located each side of the trailer, each articulated arm comprising a first elongate member and a second elongate member pivotally mounted to the first elongate member. The first elongate members are movable relative to the trailer between a retracted position and a rearwardly extended position. The second elongate members are pivotable between a horizontal position and an upright position wherein the second elongate members are orthogonal to the first elongate members. A hoist is disposed between the second elongate members and is operable to lift the reel from the support surface to an effective height greater than an effective height of the deck. Jacks are also provided to stabilise the loading means.

A system for adjusting control of an industrial vehicle comprises a badge communicator that communicates with electronic badges that are in short range proximity of the industrial vehicle; and a controller coupled to memory, wherein the controller executes program code stored in the memory to adjust control of operating parameters of the industrial vehicle. The controller executes the program code to receive a badge identifier wirelessly transmitted by a detected electronic badge and identify a role associated with the badge identifier. Based on the role associated with the badge identifier, the controller modifies a set point of the industrial vehicle from a first set point to a second set point by communicating information concerning the set point to a vehicle control module of the electronic vehicle.

Provided is a system and method for positioning a load including an apparatus having a plurality of columns. Each column has a first support and a motor adapted to move the first support along an axis of the column. A second support is connected to at least two of the first supports and a track member for receiving a portion of a vehicle is connected to the second support. Load and position sensors are coupled to the apparatus for transmitting load and position signals. A controller is in communication with the columns and receives the load and position signals to compare the load and position signals to generate at least one control signal that is sent to at least one of said motors for controlling the position of at least one of said first supports.
