A loading frame includes a rectangular u-shaped frame with an opening at one side, forks extendable and retractable between the closed side and the open side of the U-shaped frame, loading frame wheels on one arm of the U-shaped frame, and a truck interface on the other arm of the U-shaped frame. The loading frame wheels and truck interface support travel of the frame in a direction other than the direction of travel of the forks between the open and closed sides of the U-shaped frame.

A folding pallet truck comprises a frame module, a lifting module installed on the frame module and comprising a mount, and a handle module comprising a tube in rotating fit with the mount, wherein a first constraint part is formed between an end, rotatably connected to the mount, of the tube and the mount, and the handle module is folded by detaching the first constraint part or is unfolded by reassembling the first constraint part. The handle module can be folded to be stored or be unfolded and locked to be used by detaching or reassembling the first constraint part formed between the tube of the handle module and the mount of the lifting module, operation is easy, and the pallet truck has a small size when stored.

A transport cart for transporting a ballast block upon a ground surface by a user. The ballast block has a front, rear, top, bottom, and has a plurality of fastening openings on the top. The transport cart has a main frame having a pair of parallel side members, a wheel assembly, a pair of overhead frames attached between the side members, and a cross member attaching the overhead frames. A lifting mechanism is attached to the cross member and includes a lifting arm extending parallel to the side members, and a pair of engagement plates attached to the lifting arm. The engagement plates fasten to the fastening openings on the top of the ballast block. The lifting arm is raised by rotating a handle to raise the block above the ground surface, whereupon the ballast block may be moved along the ground surface using the wheel assembly.

An installation cart is provided. The cart includes a hydraulic pump that when activated permits a load placed in a lifting cradle of the cart to be vertically raised and/or lowered on the cart. The cart is does not require electrical or gas power for operation and can raise and lower loads placed in the cart for transport weighing in excess of 800 pounds. In an embodiment, the cart includes a clamping mechanism that adjustably allows a load placed in the cradle to be stabilized during transport of the load.

An appliance dolly has a platform with a caster wheel and a height adjustable stand disposed at each under side corner. At each upper side corner are a plurality of adjustable stays. The stays are configurable to retain the stands of an appliance which rests upon the stand and dolly.

An apparatus for transporting an object is provided. The apparatus includes a mast and a carriage. The mast transitions between a first position defined by a first angle of incidence of the mast with a surface that supports the mast, and a second position defined by a second angle of incidence of the mast with the surface. The carriage traverses the mast and has one or more connectors that selectively secure the object to the carriage. The mast and the carriage are operative to transport the object along the surface when the mast is in the first position, and to facilitate engagement and disengagement of the one or more connectors with the object when the mast is in the second position.

Embodiments for a single user truck loader. A platform is configured to receive placement of a load. Wheels are disposed at locations of the platform. A dolly mechanism is disposed in a cavity formed in the platform. Sidewalls of the platform house the cavity. The cavity of the platform is configured to receive a lift deck of a lifting mechanism.

Disclosed are various embodiments of a two-wheeled apparatus for transporting commercial appliance units on a rooftop or other location without the use of a crane or helicopter. The two-wheeled apparatus may include a chassis configured to support a load of a commercial appliance unit, the chassis comprising a first telescoping member and a second telescoping member. Further, the chassis may include a first mount positioned at a first end of the chassis and a second mount positioned at a second end of the chassis. A first wheel assembly may be coupled to the first distal end of the chassis by a first fixed axle and a second wheel assembly may be coupled to the second distal end of the chassis by a second fixed axle.

Apparatus for moving different movable loads. The apparatus includes channels that can be engaged by a fork lift, pallet jack, or other powered mover. The apparatus also includes a mounting plate disposed between the channels. The mounting plate includes a receiver channel. The apparatus includes a plurality of load support tools that can selectively engage the receiver channel. The load support tools include different respective end effectors. A load can be engaged with the end effector of a selected load support tool such that the apparatus can move the load.

A specialized dolly is provided that works with a hydraulic floor jack; together the assembly performs the lifting and moving of vehicles with ease and efficiency. The configuration and design of the dolly enables a standard hydraulic floor jack to be positioned within a frame of the dolly in a stationary position. A handle of a hydraulic floor jack can then be used to maneuver the combination dolly/floor jack assembly with ease on the floor of the repair shop. The dolly may be designed and configured to have stationary low resistance front rear wheel assemblies, both of which provide for convenient maneuvering and steering. The dolly's wheel tracks (distance between front wheels) and its wheelbase length (distance between front and rear wheels) allows the dolly to be stable and significantly maneuverable, especially over or around potholes, slopes, and ramps, and also provides greater safety for the operating technician.
