The present invention provides support frames for positive pressure blowers having one or more wheels mounted at a lower corner of the frame, wherein the wheels are mounted to roll in a direction that is perpendicular to the flow of air through the blower. This sideways orientation of the wheels allows a frame carrying a blower to be easily moved from side to side, such as when placed into or removed from a side compartment on an emergency vehicle, and allows such a frame carrying a blower to be easily tilted, turned and rolled around at the scene of a fire in much the same manner as a wheelbarrow. Embodiments of the invention may include an upper handle or grip which allows a user to control the frames by tilting and rolling them around on the wheels. Embodiments of the invention may include a support bracket for holding a battery or other power supply.

A structure for delivering a pipe fusion machine may include a base that supports a container. A hose station may be provided in the container. And a swing arm may be mounted on the base for pivot action between a stowed position and an extended position. The delivery structure may be mounted on a motorized vehicle having an on-board hydraulic fluid system. The distal end of the swing arm may support pipe fusion jaws and a pipe facer. The pipe fusion jaws and the pipe facer may be connected to the hose station via hydraulic lines, and the hose station may be connected to the vehicle's on-board hydraulic system. In this way, the vehicle's on-board hydraulic system can power the pipe fusion jaws and the pipe facer.

An isolated human work platform for stabilized positioning of collaborative robotics. A base platform is provided, and a work platform is positioned above the base platform for supporting one or more humans. One or more robots are supported on the base platform independently of the work platform, so that movement of the work platform does not affect the robots' positions. The work platform is isolated from the robots for stabilized positioning of the robots, so that the base platform and work platform together provide a collaborative workspace for the robots and the humans.
