A rough terrain cart for a wheel chair includes a frame operable to support a wheel chair and a wheel chair user. A pair of cart drive wheels are rotationally mounted to the frame. A locking mechanism is engaged with the frame. The locking mechanism is operable to secure the wheel chair to the cart. A rotational mechanism is engaged with the frame. The rotational mechanism is configured to support a pair of wheel chair drive wheels of the wheel chair and is operable to enable the wheel chair drive wheels to rotate when the wheel chair is secured to the cart by the locking mechanism. A transmission system is engaged with the frame. The transmission system is connectable to the wheel chair drive wheels. The transmission system is operable to transmit torque from the wheel chair drive wheels to the cart drive wheels.

A self-loading dolly apparatus. Each of a pair of support bars has a saddle bracket and an inside wheel assembly rigidly affixed with the support bar and offset from the vertical axis. A lift bar is secured to the saddle brackets, then raised so that an outside pair of wheel assemblies can be positioned adjacent the respective saddle bracket. The outside wheel assemblies are secured when the lift bar is raised, whereupon the inside wheel assemblies and the saddle brackets realign with the vertical axis and the support bars are angled upward.

A wheel support is provided for use with a motorcycle stand. The wheel support includes a pair of side plates, each of which has a first side end and a second side end distal thereto. At least one of the side plates has a curved end about the first side end to secure onto a portion of the motorcycle stand. The wheel support includes a top plate secured between the pair of side plates and an adjustable height mechanism configured to adjust the height of the second end of the side plates and thus adjust the height of the top plate about the second end. The top plate when moved under the wheel of the motorcycle is movable to engage and lift the wheel of the motorcycle into and out of engagement with the motorcycle.

A specialized dolly is provided that works with a hydraulic floor jack; together the assembly performs the lifting and moving of vehicles with ease and efficiency. The configuration and design of the dolly enables a standard hydraulic floor jack to be positioned within a frame of the dolly in a stationary position. A handle of a hydraulic floor jack can then be used to maneuver the combination dolly/floor jack assembly with ease on the floor of the repair shop. The dolly may be designed and configured to have stationary low resistance front rear wheel assemblies, both of which provide for convenient maneuvering and steering. The dolly's wheel tracks (distance between front wheels) and its wheelbase length (distance between front and rear wheels) allows the dolly to be stable and significantly maneuverable, especially over or around potholes, slopes, and ramps, and also provides greater safety for the operating technician.

A wheel holder (1) for clamping attachment to a wheel (9), in particular to a wheel (9) of a motor vehicle, and for attaching a target (5) for vehicle wheel alignment measurement, comprises a base body (10) having a central portion and at least two, in particular three, arms (22, 23, 24) extending radially outwards from the central portion of the base body (10). Each of the arms (22, 23, 24) has a movable element (32a, 33a, 34a) which is movable relative to the base body (10) in the radial direction in order to vary the length of the arm (22, 23, 24) in the radial direction; a pressure element (52, 53, 54), in particular a compression spring, which is arranged and adapted to push the movable element (32a, 33a, 34a) outward in radial direction; and a traction element (62, 63, 63) mechanically coupled to the moveble element (32a, 33a, 34a) and arranged and adapted to pull the movable element (32a, 33a, 34a) inward in radial direction. The wheel holder (1) further comprises a coupling element (60) that mechanically couples the traction elements (62, 63, 63) of the at least two arms (22, 23, 24) to each other.
