A dual tire chain block for adding and removing chains to dual tire trucks includes a block base having a front side sloping from a bottom side to a top side to form a front ramp. A pair of chain mounts is coupled to the inner side and the outer side proximal the front side. A capture chain is coupled to the pair of chain mounts. The capture chain extends between the pair of chain mounts to form a U-shape adjacent the front side of the block base. The capture chain is configured to be driven on by a truck to prevent the block base from slipping away as the truck tires climb the front ramp to rest an inner tire on the top side to elevate an outer tire to receive or remove a snow chain.

A hand held jacking/levelling-tool is provided comprising a jacking shaft and a frame moving relative to each other during jacking action, a caulking gun jacking mechanism providing the jacking action, two outer legs fastened to one of the frame and the jacking shaft and one middle leg fastened to the other of the frame and the jacking shaft being positioned between a left and right outer leg. Furthermore the jacking/levelling tool comprises a foot fastened at a right angle to each leg and pointing in the same direction. The jacking action causes the jacking shaft to move downward through the frame.

A fixture for lifting a heat exchanger header includes a first leg including a first receiver slot and a second leg including a second receiver slot and a first load arm pivotally attached to an upper portion of the first leg and a second load arm pivotally attached to an upper portion of the second leg. In use, the upper end portions of the first and second load arms are engaged by a lifting device. A first scissor arm is pivotally attached to the second leg and slidingly attached to the first leg by the first receiver slot. A second scissor arm is pivotally attached to the first leg and slidingly attached to the second leg by the second receiver slot. First and second connection plates are secured to the lower portions of the first and second legs and are connected to the tubing aperture of the heat exchanger header.

A vertical moving method of a vertical moving unit on which a conveyance target object is mounted includes steps of causing a non-electric biasing unit to generate a biasing force to raise the vertical moving unit, causing an electric motor unit to generate a thrust in a direction to raise the vertical moving unit or a thrust in a direction to lower the vertical moving unit, and causing an electromagnetic brake unit to generate a braking force to resist a movement of the vertical moving unit. Independently of presence/absence of the object and a weight of the object, the thrust and/or the braking force is controlled such that the vertical moving unit stops when an external force of overload more than a predetermined value acts on the vertical moving unit during a vertical movement.

The present invention is directed to a wheelchair lift device, more particularly, to a folding wheelchair lift device that is independently operable by a wheelchair user without the wheelchair user exiting their chair. The wheelchair lift apparatus, in various embodiments, may include a linkage frame having a nesting linkage geometry; linkage frame components with alignment and locking features; an extension handle having alignment and locking features; and an adjustable telescopic axle-rest assembly having alignment and locking features.

A jack, comprising: a top plate adapted to contact a load; a base plate positioned below the top plate; at least one actuator coupled perpendicularly between the base plate and the top plate; wherein the at least one actuator is operable to move the top plate between a lowered position and a raised position to thereby lower and raise the load; and, at least one locking assembly adapted to lock the top plate in the raised position.

A transportable jack system includes a jack disposed on a base. The base includes a base plate with a plurality of wheel openings formed therein, and a biasing member disposed between a wheel and the base plate. The biasing member is configured from a single piece of material consisting of a top horizontal portion, a bottom horizontal portion, and an angled middle portion disposed between the top horizontal portion and the bottom horizontal portion. The biasing member biases the base away from a ground surface when a load applied to the jack is below a predetermined threshold and deforms when the load is above the predetermined threshold, wherein the deformation allows the base plate to contact the ground surface.
