A luggage article comprising a body including a top face, a bottom face, an a plurality of side faces. A first pair of wheels is disposed at the bottom face of the body. A handle has a first operative orientation wherein the handle is disposed within the body and a second operative orientation wherein the handle extracted from the body. A central wheel is functionally associated with the handle, such that in the first operative orientation of the handle, the central wheel is retracted and disposed in or adjacent a face of the body, and in the second operative orientation the central wheel is extracted and extends outwardly from the body.

The inventive concept relates to a manually operated hand truck that can also be electrically powered, the apparatus referred to as an electric mover. The electric mover includes a main frame comprising handle bars, upper and lower load stabilizers, and a load plate connected to the main frame. In powered operation, a pair of co-axial drive wheels, positioned at the lower extremity of the main frame, is driven by a transaxle. The transaxle receives power through a control box containing a pair of replaceable batteries. The electric mover is further constructed with a positionable leg assembly comprising two moveable legs, each having a bottommost caster wheel. The moveable legs may be pivotally arranged at either an extended working position, or a stowed position against the frame, which provides an alternative load bearing configuration. Additional components include a customized fork extensions assembly and a rolling wheel attachment.

The present invention relates to a transformable wheeled cart and the use thereof. The transformable wheeled cart is made of: a back frame made of an inner frame and an outer frame. The inner frame is configured to move within the outer frame from a first vertical position to a second horizontal position. A front frame made of a plurality of connectors positioned on the front frame to connect with the inner frame when the inner frame is in the second horizontal position; wherein the front frame retains a rectangular perforated panel, the rectangular perforated panel further comprises a connector to connect to the back frame; and a plurality of wheels connected to the cart.

A pallet is provided for supporting cylinders. The pallet can have a convex spine extending substantially the length of the pallet in a longitudinal direction, having a backstop at a first end. The pallet has one or more trays attached transverse to the convex spine, each tray having longitudinal fluted indents to restrain a cylinder from rolling transverse, the longitudinal fluted indents are each arranged to accept a cylinder from above. The pallet has a left outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the left outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain, as well as a right outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the right outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain. The pallet can have a coupling extending from an end of the convex spine, wherein the coupling is arranged to take a crane hook in engagement to pull the pallet.

First and second forward legs have pivot ends and free ends. First and second rearward legs have pivot ends and free ends. Four pivot brackets are provided. Two of the four pivot brackets extend rearwardly from each forward leg. In this manner the angle between the forward and rearward legs may be varied. Also provided is a top step, a middle step, and a bottom step. Each step is horizontal when in a ladder orientation. Further provided is an imperforate tongue. The imperforate tongue is pivotably secured between the rearward legs adjacent to the free ends. In this manner the rearward legs may be perpendicularly positioned when in a dolly orientation. Provided last are four wheels. Four wheels are secured to the forward legs. The four wheels extend forwardly from the forward legs for use when in a cart orientation.

A trailer device is provided with pressure washing features and devices. The trailer device is convertible between at least a first and mode of transport, wherein a first mode comprises a towing mode, and a second mode comprises a push or manual operation mode. The device also comprises various on-board features and control systems such that a fully-functional pressure washing unit is provided that is easily transporting between locations.

A hand truck orients a slab in a for-aft direction with upper and lower slots formed by upper and lower pairs of arms. The hand truck has a pair of wheels, an upright frame, a platform and a handle. The upright frame and the platform pivoting about an axle a rest orientation and a tilted orientation. A lower pair of lower arms is coupled to the frame and positioned at the platform and oriented to extend forwardly from the upright frame and the pair of wheels. The lower pair of lower arms forms a lower open-ended slot. An upper pair of upper arms is coupled to the frame and spaced-apart from the lower pair of lower arms, and oriented to extend forwardly from the upright frame and the pair of wheels. The upper pair of upper arms forming an upper open-ended slot.

A transport means (N) includes at least one lower support (1) on which at least two cylinders, in which a material which can be a compressed gas is stored, are placed by being stacked on the top of one another; at least one body (3) having one end connected to said lower support (1); at least one first steering element (2a) disposed on the body (3) for steering the cylinders during transport, at least two motion elements (4) connected to said body (3) for providing the movement of the transport means (N), the transport means (N) including at least one thrust mechanism which allows the topmost cylinder to move closer toward the lower support (1) such that the cylinders stacked on the top of one another do not come apart during transport.

A hand truck for moving water heaters and toilets has a fixed frame with one or more fulcrum wheels on a rear side, at least one floor stabilizing arm coupled to and extending from a front side, at least one outrigger support beam extending from the rear of the fixed frame, the at least one outrigger support beam further comprising a wheel at a distal end; and an extendable frame having a vertical beam, a horizontal beam coupled to the top of the vertical beam, and at least one lifting arm extending perpendicularly to the horizontal beam; the extendable frame vertically adjustable in relation to the fixed frame.

Hand trucks having a powered lifting assembly are disclosed. In certain aspects, hand trucks having a motor assembly and a battery pack mount arranged to removably receive a battery pack arranged for a portable tool are disclosed. Hand trucks having a pivoting rearward support are also disclosed, with particular arrangements advantageously pivoting the rearward support upwardly as it is configured into the retracted configuration so as to lift wheels of the rearward support above other wheels of the hand truck.
