Anti-tip device for ATV
An anti-tip device for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) having a T-shaped first support member formed by a first section and a second section with opposing left and right ends. A trailing end of the first section mounts between the ends of the second section. A leading end of the first section removably connects to the rear end of the ATV. A ground contact member is located on the T-shaped first support member and includes a bottom that is spaced away from the ground surface when front and rear wheels of the ATV are in contact with the ground surface. The ground contact member contacts the ground surface when the front wheel rotates about the rear wheel and away from the ground surface in order to prevent rotation that would cause the front wheel of the ATV to tip backwards over the rear wheel.

Adjustable motor mount for semi-trailer landing gear
An adjustable motor mount having a first plate with a first side and a second opposite side, a second plate, and a third plate. The first plate is connected to the second plate with a first hinge and the second plate is connected to the third plate with a second hinge. The second plate is rotatable relative to the first plate and the third plate is rotatable relative to the second plate. The third plate can be raised or lowered relative to the first plate and can be moved towards or away from the first plate. The first plate and the second plate may have spaced hinge members, as an alternate embodiment so that the second plate is slidable towards the first side and the second side of the first plate. The adjustable motor mount allows a motor to be easily moved upward, downward, left, right, towards, and away from a crank shaft of a landing gear drive mechanism.

HYDRAULIC DROP FRAME TRAILER
A hydraulic drop frame trailer for a tow vehicle, the hydraulic drop frame trailer including a trailer frame having two sides and a hitch, a pair of wheels, a first and second frame bracket, a trailer bed mounted over the trailer frame, a first and second pivoting hydraulic cylinder, a plurality of hydraulic hoses, a first and second pivoting arm, an operating station connected to a power supply, a first and second axle-less wheel mount with independent suspension mechanism mounted to the first and second pivoting arm, and a plurality of safety locks, each securing an arm to the trailer frame for locking each rotating arm to the trailer bed during transport.
THREE POINT VEHICLE LEVELING WITH MULTI POINT STABILIZING SYSTEMS
Aspects herein relate to using a three or more points to control the angular orientation of a structure via three or more jacks, and then stabilizing the structure via one or more stabilizers. In some aspects, the foregoing structure may include, for example, a motor home, recreational vehicle, travel trailer or fifth wheel trailer.

AERIAL CONFIGURATION FOR A MID-MOUNT FIRE APPARATUS
A fire apparatus includes a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, a front cabin coupled to a front end of the chassis forward of the body assembly, a front axle coupled to the front end of the chassis, a rear axle coupled to a rear end of the chassis, and a ladder assembly having a proximal end coupled to the chassis. The body assembly includes one or more angled portions. The one or more angled portions at least partially facilitate the ladder assembly in traveling through at least one of a sweep angle range or a depression angle range.
Low-Profile Trailer Jack
A low-profile trailer jack for preventing damage to a jack includes a jack module that comprises a plurality of nested sections so that the jack module is selectively extensible. A first coupler is coupled to the jack module. A second coupler is coupled to an upper face of a hitch assembly proximate to an orifice that is positioned through the hitch assembly. The second coupler is complementary to the first coupler. The jack module is configured to be inserted into the orifice, positioning the second coupler to couple to the first coupler to fixedly position the jack module within the orifice. A top of the jack module is positioned proximate to the second coupler. An actuator is operationally coupled to the jack module. The actuator is positioned to extend the nested sections so that a bottom of the jack module contacts a surface to elevate the hitch assembly.
