Embodiments of safety trucks incorporate multiple connection points to which a variety of attachments, or combinations of attachments, can be releasably and interchangeably coupled to enable their use with increased effectiveness to safeguard roadway construction, maintenance and repair personnel as they perform tasks within or relatively near to roadway workzones and worksites. Also, methods of operation of the safety truck embodiments enhance their ability to guard and protect roadway construction, maintenance and repair personnel while they work within or relatively near to roadway workzone and worksite locations.

A mobile generator includes a housing having a top portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion, wherein the first side portion includes an energy-receiving component. The mobile generator also includes an arm pivotally coupled to the housing at a first pivot point and to the first side portion at a second pivot point. A first motion controller is configured to drive rotation of the arm about the first pivot point, and a second motion controller configured to drive rotation of the first side portion about the second pivot point.

A method comprises removing a first deck of a plurality of decks and a second deck of the plurality of decks from an autorack. The method further comprises removing one or more of a plurality of posts of the autorack and coupling a cross-brace assembly to one or more of the plurality of posts, wherein the cross-brace assembly is coupled to the one or more of the plurality of posts at a location above an existing brace bay of the autorack. The method also comprises coupling the second deck of the plurality of decks to the autorack at a location above or below the cross-brace assembly.

The goal of the present invention is to provide franchisees with the mobility of transmission repair services, as well as the mobility of transmission dynamometer/stand testing services, along with specialized, equipped mobile repair facilities, based on existing and future prototypes, and procedures to perform the most economical and, at the same time, high quality and cost-effective wholesale and retail transmission repair business, as shown below.

A vehicle rail system has a frame mountable to a vehicle, the frame having a plurality of support legs, the support legs interconnected via support beams. One or more fixed rails are mountable to the support frame, each fixed rail comprising a plurality of bearings thereon and configured to receive a sliding rail, the sliding rail having a plurality of grooves for receiving the bearings of the fixed rail so as to be slidable thereon. The bearings are located along regular intervals of the fixed rails on each non-mounted side. The sliding rail is then able to slide along the bearings of the fixed rail, extending to the exterior of the frame mounted in the vehicle.
