A dolly apparatus for clamping a door to a wheeled base for transportation of the door includes a base and a clamping linkage mounted on the base. The door is positionable on an upper surface of an actuator of the clamping linkage so that a weight of the door urges the actuator to move a pair of jaws of the clamping linkage toward each other above the actuator, thereby clamping the door. A pair of wheels are rotatably mounted to the base.

A combination hand truck and equipment stand to be used by musicians, sound reinforcement companies and sound personnel, lighting companies and lighting personnel, clubs, schools, theatres, concert halls and Houses of Worship for transporting equipment (instrument amplifiers, sound and lighting consoles, speaker enclosures, audio processing racks and general miscellaneous equipment) transforms into a stand for said musical instrument amplifiers, sound and lighting consoles, standard 19 audio equipment racks, stage monitors, loudspeaker enclosures, and storage boxes, etc.

A wheelbarrow carrier provides transportation and dumping from a connection to a standard trailer hitch or tractor three-point mount. A pivoting ramp is used to load the wheelbarrow and a locking mechanism locks the wheelbarrow foot in place and the ramp in an upward position, once the wheelbarrow has been rolled onto the ramp and the ramp has pivoted from a downward position to an upward level position. The ramp pivots once the wheel of the wheelbarrow has rolled past the pivot point sufficiently to tip the ramp. Once the wheelbarrow is locked in the upward (level) position, a motor is activated to rotate a boom to which the ramp is attached with respect to a frame that is connected to the vehicle mount.

A pair of dollies for storing and transporting scaffold frames is disclosed. Each dolly is made up of two identical dolly members containing a top plate, bottom plate, two side pates and a front and back plate. Communicating holes are inserted along the length of the top and bottom plates. The side plates of each dolly member has semi-circular cut outs on the top edges which correspond with the holes in the top and bottom plates. The end holes at the front and back of each dolly member have tubes permanently inserted to receive a typical scaffold 8 inch swivel caster wheel with brake. Scaffold frame legs are inserted into the remaining holes in the top and bottom plates of the dollies. The bottom cross member of each scaffold frame sits on the semi-circular cut outs on the top edges of the side plates. This device can be used for storage or transportation of scaffold frames.

Accordingly, a hand truck for percussion drums and related accessories of the invention enables storage, transport, protection, and control of a plurality of percussion drums and their related accessories. The hand truck for percussion drums and related accessories is comprised of a body panel consisting of individual drum compartments of varying dimensions sized to accommodate preselected percussion drums of corresponding varying dimensions which are protectively releasably received into the compartments thru the use of support strips. A cymbal storage rod assembly is included to facilitate the control and storage of a plurality of percussion cymbals. Said body panel further supporting a cover onto which a plurality of drum accessory and drum pedal storage compartments may be attached. Support brackets with end closures support the body panel each employing handles to facilitate maneuvering along with wheels on the front end to enable transport.

A self stabilizing system which has an incompressible coil at least partially encompassed in a housing, and which controls a foot of a device to be stabilized. The coil abuts a plunger, which plunger is for allowing a user to selectably lock the elevation by use of a pin which fits within a plurality of annular grooves on the plunger. In a first embodiment, a pair of coils surround the plunger on either side and control a pair of feet, thus allowing automatic stabilization on an uneven surface. In a second embodiment, a single coil is controlled by a spring which abuts the plunger allowing a spring-loaded system for selecting an elevation to lock the plunger.

A transporting apparatus for track-mounted machines, also capable of aiding lifting, includes a pair of wheel assemblies. Each wheel assembly consisting of (i) a pair of wheels rotatably attached adjacent ends of an axle; (ii) a pair of parallel spaced-apart axle braces each rotatably engaged to the axle at a distal end of the axle braces; and (iii) a receiver member having a predetermined height and width. This receiver member has at least one bottom member and two spaced-apart substantially parallel side walls fixed to a proximal end of the axle braces.

A luggage cart assembly including multiple luggage containers which are vertically arranged, and one or more of the containers are pivotable such that the container can be accessed without having to move the other containers, where the container includes first and second attachment members to attach the container to the luggage cart. When the first attachment member is detached from the luggage cart and the second attachment member remains attached to the luggage cart, the container is pivotable relative to luggage cart and the container is supported by the second attachment member. The first and second containers may be vertically separated from one another in some embodiments.

A utility handcart can include a container secured to a lower frame. An adjustable, dual-purpose handle and/or kickstand assembly can be adjusted by a user to act as a kickstand when the handcart is stationary and act as a handle for pushing or pulling the handcart. The handle/kickstand assembly can include arms pivotally secured to arm mounts, which extend forward from the lower frame and upward in front of the container. The handcart can be selectively secured to a hitch mounting attachment with a tapered platform for easy mounting and dismounting from a vehicle hitch receiver. The handcart can include struts rotatably securing wheels to define a large, rectangular ground clearance volume beneath the lower frame and between the wheels.

A releasable wheel assembly includes a bracket having a plurality of bosses, each boss including a hole that receives an axle. A pair of wheels are mounted on the axle and a pair of locking caps fit over respective ends of the axle, the locking caps each including a clip for engaging the axle at a circumferential groove to prevent movement of the locking cap along the axle. The wheel assembly can be mounted to a carry bag or other storage unit by mounting the bracket to the storage unit, where the wheels and axle can be easily removed from the bracket.
