The present invention relates to devices and methods for transporting a Blow Out Preventer (BOP). A device for transporting and installing a BOP stack for a land-based drilling rig, comprises a skid for transporting a BOP stack in a substantially horizontal position. The device comprises a moveable support configured to be fixed removably to one end of the BOP stack and to translate longitudinally on the skid, where a section of the skid is extendable longitudinally outwards from an end of the skid, into an extended configuration in which the section can placed adjacent to or on a place of installation of the BOP stack, and is configured to be part of the skid on which the moveable support is configured to translate, so that the moveable support may translate longitudinally onto the section of the skid, in its extended configuration, to be above the place of installation.

A variety pack production system includes multiple of frame sections each having a rigid frame, casters, leveling legs, and forklift channels. Each of the plurality of frame sections includes connection points configured to connect with at least one adjacent frame section. A method for variety pack production includes the steps of loading a first plurality of products having a common SKU into a first lane, loading a second plurality of products have a common SKU into a second lane, moving the first and second plurality of products through a singulation stage before entering a packing area, and moving a first predetermined number of the first plurality of products and a second predetermined number of the second plurality of products from the packing area into a variety pack.

An interconnected outrigger pad support system is provided. The system includes a base pad assembly layer, a support layer, and an upper pad. The base pad assembly layer is formed of a plurality of base pads having alignment features that extend across at least a portion of the upper surface of the plurality of base pads. The support layer is placed on top of the base pad assembly layer and the support layer engages and is held in place by the alignment features of the plurality of base pads. In one or more arrangements, the upper pad has an upper surface and a lower surface, with the lower surface also having an alignment feature. When the upper pad is placed on top of the support layer, the alignment feature of the upper pad engages and is held in place by the support layer.

The invention is generally directed to a portable kiosk base that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as (but not limited to) a parking kiosk base. The base comprises a support foundation and a series of protective bollards positioned on the top face of the foundation. The foundation provides a support for a corresponding kiosk, while the bollards prevent damage to the kiosk from cars, vandalism, and so forth. It should be appreciated that the base can support any of a wide variety of kiosks, such as ticketing kiosks for parking and the like.

A method of assembling a mobile electric power generation system comprises providing a generator trailer having an electric generator, a gas turbine trailer having a gas turbine, an exhaust trailer having an exhaust device, and an air filter and ventilation trailer having an air inlet device. The method includes positioning each of the generator trailer, the gas turbine trailer, the exhaust trailer, and the air filter and ventilation trailer at a job site such that the generator trailer and the gas turbine trailer are in an end-to-end configuration. The method comprises coupling each of the generator trailer, the exhaust trailer, and the air filter and ventilation trailer to the gas turbine trailer in an operational mode for generating power and decoupling each of the generator trailer, the exhaust trailer, and the air filter and ventilation trailer from the gas turbine trailer in a transport mode for transport.

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.
