Disclosed are apparatus, systems, and methods, including a ground transport drive container comprising an outer container having a cuboid shape and comprising a plurality of fittings for securing the outer container to another apparatus; and a drive wheel assembly. The drive wheel assembly comprises one or more wheels and a deployment mechanism secured to the one or more wheels. An actuating member actuates the drive wheel assembly between a stowed configuration and one or more deployed configurations. In the stowed configuration, the drive wheel assembly is housed entirely within the outer container. In the one or more deployed configurations, the drive wheel assembly extends from the outer container.

Provided in this disclosure is a hoist for raising and mounting an interchangeable vehicle body onto a vehicle chassis. The hoist includes a hoist frame having a pivot end and an elevated end for slidably supporting the interchangeable body. A subframe with a bolt-on assembly is provided for fixedly connecting to the vehicle chassis. A linkage connects the hoist frame to the subframe. The linkage also includes a hinge joint member for raising the elevated end of the hoist frame. A mounting bracket pivotally connects to the pivot end of the hoist frame. The mounting bracket has a bolt-on assembly for fixedly connecting to the vehicle chassis. A winch assembly is retained in the elevated end of the hoist frame and extending to the pivot end for raising the interchangeable body onto the hoist frame.

The present invention relates to a machine configuration system (100) which can realize the different works, realized by work machines, industrial machines, agricultural machines, military vehicles, remotely-controlled, autonomous, etc. machines, by means of components and equipments having capability of fixation to various locations of the main chassis (1) and main chassis (1) with track (2a) or single type, four-wheel drive and platform with rotation through four wheels (2).

An unmanned ground-based transport vehicle, UGV, includes a housing, having a base plate and at least one housing side wall substantially perpendicular to the base plate. Arranged in the housing is at least one wheel drive, which is coupled to at least one wheel. The wheel is arranged in a recess in the base plate. The UGV further includes sensors for sensing the environment of the UGV, and a controller for autonomous location and navigation of the UGV on the basis of sensing parameters of the sensors. The UGV includes at least one load-receiving element coupled to the housing side wall and extending outwards from the housing side wall, wherein the load-receiving element includes a load support surface for supporting an item with respect to a vertical direction which extends transverse to the base plate.

A hunting blind is integrated with a trailer to enable the trailer to be towed to a hunting site and used for hunting, without the need to remove the hunting blind from the trailer. The hunting blind also accommodates and conceals equipment such as an ATV or UTV. The blind includes two levels, with openings in each level, and may be configured to resemble a stack of hay bales.

A collapsible trunk for use with a vehicle having a wheel well. The trunk comprises a base wall and a side wall pivotally connected thereto. The side wall extends from the base wall and terminates at an upper edge. The side wall and base wall collectively define a storage cavity. The base wall and the side wall each have an expandable portion conformable to the wheel well in response to placement of the base wall and the side wall over the wheel well. The trunk is selectively transitional between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the base panels overlap each other, and in the deployed configuration, the plurality of base panels are co-planar to each other. The upper edge of the side wall moves away from the base wall as the trunk transitions from the collapsed configuration toward the deployed configuration.
