Disclosed herein is a wheel shield apparatus that includes a pair of elongated parallel tube members in perpendicular engagement with a pair of short parallel tube members, at least one removable side of the wheel shield apparatus is operable to be temporarily opened or removed such that the wheel shield apparatus may be placed around a wheel of a neurosurgical microscope or some other type of heavy wheeled machinery and the removable side may be placed in a closed position such that the wheel shield surrounds the wheel. Each of the pair of elongated parallel tube members and/or each of the pair of short parallel tube members comprises a cavity configured to receive a ballast material to provide sufficient weight to ensure that the wheel shield apparatus contacts the floor such that cables along the floor are pushed out of the way by the wheel shield apparatus and prevented from being run over while the machinery is being transported.

The present invention discloses a multifunctional vehicle lifting, steering, moving and obstacle crossing device. The apparatus is composed of a rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a running mechanism and a control mechanism, is mounted at a bottom of an automobile, can be conveniently folded at the bottom of the automobile when not used at ordinary times, and has characteristics of portability, flexibility, no space occupation and easy operation. The apparatus can realize functions of a vehicle, such as lifting, rotating, moving and the like, in a wired or wireless control manner, and effectively overcome defects that the vehicle cannot realize four-wheel off-ground, entire side movement and in-situ rotation or pass through a narrow road or stride across a wide ditch or cross a high and narrow obstacle, thereby completing relatively difficult tasks of the vehicle, such as parking, moving, turning-around and turning in a narrow space, crossing ditches etc.

A convertible snow plow system attachable to frame of a light duty truck, SUV or other suitable vehicle. The blade portion of the plow system is movable between deployed and retracted positions. In the retracted position the blade is positioned in front of the radiator and headlights of the vehicle functioning as a brush guard. To permit air to pass through the plow blade to the radiator, the blade comprises a plurality of movable louvers that can be opened when the plow is in the retracted position.

A leading-edge steering system is provided for a front suspension of an off-road vehicle. The leading-edge steering system is comprised of a spindle assembly that supports a drive axle assembly to conduct torque from a transaxle to a front wheel. A first rod-end joint pivotally couples an upper suspension arm and the spindle assembly, and a second rod-end joint pivotally couples a lower suspension arm and the spindle assembly. A steering rod-end joint pivotally couples a first end of a steering rod with a leading-edge portion of the spindle assembly. A steering gear is coupled with a second end of the steering rod and configured to move the steering rod, such that the spindle assembly rotates with respect to the upper and lower suspension arms. The leading-edge portion is configured to exert primarily tensile forces on the steering rod during travel over rough terrain.
