A cart generally includes a body, a wheel assembly, first and second handles, and a scoop. The body defines an interior usable for holding materials. The body includes a forward portion and a rearward portion. The wheel assembly includes at least one axle and first and second wheels. Each of the first and second handles includes a handle portion to allow a user to move the cart and a leg portion for contacting a support surface. The scoop is rotatable relative to the body between a plurality of positions including at least a forward position and a rearward position. In the forward position, the scoop is adjacent the forward portion of the body, whereby the scoop increases carrying capacity of the cart. In the rearward position, the scoop is disposed at least partially over and/or adjacent the rearward portion of the body.

Wheeled transport carts are described which are configured for transporting drain cleaning equipment such as drain cleaning machines and drain cleaning cable. The carts include engagement provisions that enable a drain cleaning machine to be affixed to the cart and preclude unintended separation from the cart during use or transport. The engagement provisions also enable the drain cleaning machine to be quickly and easily separated from the cart. Also described are methods of transporting such equipment using the carts. In addition, systems of the cart(s) with various equipment are described.

A method and a bowling ball enclosure are provided for encasing and reducing temperature fluctuations of and within a bowling ball. The bowling ball enclosure includes a flexible inner vapor barrier layer and a flexible outer layer that are made of a polymer material, the inner layer forming an interior region that receives the bowling ball. The bowling ball enclosure also includes a bottom portion and a top portion, wherein the top portion is positionable from a first position to a second position to encapsulate the bowling ball. In the first position, the top portion being in an open position to receive the bowling ball into the interior region. In the second position, the top portion being in a closed position to encapsulate the bowling bowl. A bowling ball bag includes a vapor ball layer to reducing the emission of volatiles from a retained bowling ball.

A mobile audio transportation (MAT) system/method allowing transportation of mobile audio modules (MAMs) is disclosed. The system/method incorporates a perforated acoustic tube (PAT) in the MAM allowing speaker energy to be efficiently emitted from the mobile speaker enclosure (MSE). The PAT is configured with an enclosure alignment pathway (EAP) within the MAM allowing a stack alignment rod (SAR) to penetrate through the PAT/EAP thus capturing and securing the MAM in an aligned MAM stack (AMS). Alignment and insertion of the SAR with a stack index rod (SIR) affixed to a mobile hand truck (MHT) allows the AMS to be coupled with the MHT for transportation of the AMS. The MHT incorporates a hand truck frame (HTF), hand truck wheels (HTW), hand truck platform (HTP) and SIR, hand truck handle (HTH), charger power strip (CPS), battery charger array (BCA), and optional hand truck coupler (HTC) to facilitate AMS transportation.

Adapter apparatus for transporting a ladder with a hand truck of the type having wheels and a laterally extending toe plate for supporting an item thereon is provided. The apparatus includes a ladder support configured for receiving a portion of a ladder thereof and at least one hand truck attachment. A first end of the at least one hand truck attachment is coupled to the ladder support. A second opposing end of the at least one hand truck attachment is configured for securely engaging a toe plate of a hand truck. At least a portion of a weight of the ladder is transferred onto the toe plate of the hand truck when the ladder is transported on the hand truck with the ladder support contacting the ladder thereof.

A transport device with a transport vehicle and a first box-shaped container. The transport vehicle has, above a container attachment interface, a pull-out assembly arranged on a vertical frame section with a horizontally extendable container accommodation element into which the first box-shaped container can be inserted from above.

A transport device with a transport vehicle. The transport device includes an elongated worktable and a worktable attachment interface provided on the transport vehicle by means of which the elongated worktable can be attached in a vertical orientation on the transport vehicle in order to assume a transport position in which the elongated worktable can be transported by the transport vehicle.
