Carrying arrangement for carrying apparatuses, in particular medical apparatuses, having a base carrier on which at least three roller elements are arranged in order to move the carrying arrangement with respect to a floor surface. The roller elements are each rotatable about first axes of rotation (D). At least one of these roller elements is pivotable about a pivot axis (S) with respect to the base carrier. The axes of rotation (D) and the pivot axis (S) extend in different directions. At least one supporting element is arranged at least indirectly on the base carrier. The supporting element does not contact the floor in a first position of the carrying arrangement with respect to the floor surface and the supporting element contacts the floor in a second position of the carrying arrangement with respect to the floor, the second position being pivoted with respect to the first position.

A shelving base bracket is an apparatus that is used to support and transport shelving units. The shelving base includes a rectangular frame which is made up of a plurality of lateral cross members. Each of the lateral cross members includes a base panel and a border panel. The base panel may be used to support a shelving platform for storing goods. The border panel provides structural strength to the lateral cross member and may be used to prevent items from falling off the shelving base frame. The shelving base frame also includes a plurality of corner brackets which is used to reinforce the connections between each of lateral cross members. Each of the plurality of lateral cross members is connected in-between two corner brackets. The plurality of corner brackets may be used to attach a shelving unit to the shelving base frame.

The present invention provides a traveling tool for a cart being to be attached to a cart, the traveling tool including a deck portion including a board-like member that defines a footrest surface on which a foot of the user is to be placed, at least one first wheel provided in rear of the deck portion so as to enable the deck portion to travel, an operation pole provided on front of the deck portion so as to enable the deck portion to he rotated, and a coupling portion that is provided on the operation pole, and couples the deck portion to the cart.

The shopping cart security system is configured for use with a hand propelled vehicle known as a shopping cart. The shopping cart security system is a wheeled structure that allows the hand propelled vehicle to roll over a supporting surface. The shopping cart security system: a) determines the GPS coordinates of the shopping cart security system; b) compares the GPS coordinates of the shopping cart security system with a previously determined set of GPS coordinates that determine an operating perimeter for the shopping cart security system; and, c) disables the rotation of the wheeled structure that forms the shopping cart security system when the shopping cart security system is determined to be outside of the region bounded by the previously determined operating perimeter.

Container adapted for cargo or personnel transport, the container being substantially prismatic, cylindrical or cubic in shape, wherein the container comprises: an internal surface and an external surface, a rigid frame, which defines a plurality of container faces, wherein the confluence of two or more of said container faces define edge portions being substantially chamfered, and one or more shock absorbing corner protectors adapted for being mounted on the edge portions, characterized in that the edge portions of the rigid frame comprise one or more beams arranged substantially in parallel to the direction of the confluence of two container faces, and the inner face of the corner protectors comprise at least a flange adapted for fitting in the one or more beams of the edge portions, such that the corner protectors substantially protrude from the external surface.

A wheel guard is provided for use on a material handling vehicle comprising a steering assembly, an axle extending through the steering assembly and a steer wheel mounted on the axle. The wheel guard may comprise: a front plate to be positioned adjacent to the steer wheel; an axle support coupled to and extending transverse to the front plate and comprising an axle aperture through which the vehicle axle is to be extended, the wheel guard to be rotatable about the axle; and a stop coupled to at least one of the front plate or the axle support to limit rotational movement of the wheel guard about the axle.

A shopping cart includes a frame having a chassis portion and a handle portion extending upward from the chassis portion, a pair of front casters and a pair of rear casters mounted on the frame, and a basket connected to the frame and supported by the frame, the basket defining a chamber for holding articles, where the frame further includes a support structure connected to the chassis and the basket and supporting a portion of the basket. The shopping cart may include a number of wear resistance features that decrease the wear on the cart and extend the life of the shopping cart.

A patient support apparatus for traversing objects supported on ground surfaces. The patient support apparatus comprises a patient support deck, and a base to support the patient support deck from the ground surface. At pair of caster wheel assemblies spaced from each other are coupled to the base for pivoting movement about respective pivot axes cooperating to define a reference plane. A frame guard coupled to the base defines first and second ramp surfaces each disposed at an angle relative to the reference plane. The first ramp surface is arranged to engage objects before they contact one or more of the caster wheels when the patient support apparatus moves in a first direction. The second ramp surface is arranged to engage objects before they contact one or more of the caster wheels when the patient support apparatus moves in an opposite, second direction.

A service cart and associated apparatus that is suitable for servicing electric vehicles and vehicle batteries. The service cart may comprise a frame having a number of members that may be arranged in a compact configuration. The service cart may comprise a number of support pads that may be adjustably arranged with respect to the frame. The support pads may comprise an overload protection mechanism having a break pin. The service cart may comprise a detachable handle operable to selectively disengage a number of brakes on the cart. The service cart may comprise a tow hitch suitable for detachably coupling an external tow device.

An apparatus is presented for protecting walls from damage by a wheeled cart. The apparatus includes an arm including a first end configured to be attached to a frame of the wheeled cart, where the wheeled vehicle includes a platform and a plurality of first wheels configured to move over a floor surface. The arm also includes a second end opposite to the first end, where the second end is positioned between the platform and the floor surface upon attaching the first end to the frame. The apparatus also includes a bumper attached to the second end of the arm such that the bumper is positioned between the platform and the floor surface upon attaching the first end to the frame. A method and kit is also presented for attaching the apparatus to the wheeled cart and using the wheeled cart with the attached apparatus.
