A lift-truck having a height adjustable load engagement means and a lifting/lowering unit and a support wheel and a climbing wheel and comprising a detection sensor arranged to detect a pallet located in front of the load engagement means and in a control unit to control the lifting/lowering unit, in response to a signal indicative of a detected pallet, to move the load engagement means to place the climbing wheel at a first predetermined height over the ground surface and, control the lifting/lowering unit to lower the load engagement means to place the climbing wheel at a second predetermined height over the ground surface when an operational parameter, indicative of movement of the lift-truck, equals a predetermined value.

A transportation device and automatic tilt stabilizer are disclosed herein. The transportation device has a structure with wheels joined by a shaft to a platform or chassis configured to support a basket, a mat, a seat and/or a tray. The automatic tilt stabilizer is configured to automatically stabilize the inclination of the platform or chassis, and includes a tilt sensor configured to detect an inclination of the platform or chassis, and a motor activated by a microcontroller, configured to correct the inclination of the platform or chassis, so that the platform or chassis returns to a predefined inclination.

A step-climbing attachment for a wheeled chair, the attachment comprising a first wheel having at least a hub and a rim spaced from the hub, the hub and rim defining an inner region, a second wheel having a different diameter than the first wheel, and the second wheel being rotatably mounted to an extending arm, the extending arm being movable relative to the first wheel between a first position and at least one second position by a controllable mechanism, wherein the controllable mechanism is housed at least partially within the inner region of the first wheel, wherein the second wheel is driven by rotation of the first wheel.

A laundry cart comprised of a base assembly, casters, steel frame assembly, handle, and fabric hamper body. The quadrilateral base includes a pair of longitudinally spaced U-shaped members interposed between a pair of longitudinal slats and a plurality of transverse slats fixed together in a common lattice fashion. The steel frame assembly is comprised of uprights along the periphery of the base platform, which includes offset uprights and corner uprights. The corner uprights are attached above the base, thereby reducing the shear stress on the laundry cart. The Z-shaped offset uprights allow all the uprights on the short side and long side of the cart to be on the same plane. The hamper body is sized and configured to seat within the uprights and crossmembers. The hamper body includes reinforced trim along the top periphery, which is constructed of a sewn soft rubber to prevent scuffing and damage to walls and doors.

A sewer cleaning machine includes a frame and a drum rotatably supported by the frame. The drum is positioned on a first side of the frame. The sewer cleaning machine also includes a first motor supported by the frame and coupled to the drum. The first motor is operable to rotate the drum. The sewer cleaning machine further includes a cable positioned at least partially within the drum. The cable is configured to be extended from and retracted into the drum. The sewer cleaning machine also includes a track positioned on a second side of the frame. The track includes a first endless belt configured to rotate about a first roller. The sewer cleaning machine further includes a second motor supported by the frame and coupled to the first roller. The second motor is operable to drive the track.
