A modular configurable mobile transport apparatus with adjustable folding legs. A modular configurable mobile transport apparatus. The apparatus includes a first roller tip handle facing backwards for grasping the apparatus from behind providing horizontal stability for the apparatus and allowing the apparatus to be rolled on the first roller tip handle, a configurable backwards facing securing and storing portion for securing and storing one or more objects of varying widths to the back surface of the apparatus, a configurable backwards facing securing and storing portion for securing and storing one or more objects of varying widths to the front surface of the apparatus and a second roller tip handle facing forward for providing vertical stability for the apparatus and allowing the apparatus to be rolled on the second roller tip handle. The apparatus can be loaded with objects that are secured and stored on both the front side and back side of the apparatus and the apparatus can be rolled on its wheels and either of the first or second tip handles to allow easy movement and transport and insertion and removal into and out of vehicles. The apparatus includes a set of attachable, removable and adjustable folding legs allowing the apparatus to be used as a work surface on even or uneven surfaces.

An electric vehicle is provided, including: a main body, traveling wheels, a drive assembly and a controller. The traveling wheels are arranged on the main body. The drive assembly is arranged on the main body and includes a hub motor. The hub motor is arranged on the traveling wheels. The controller is used to control the hub motor.

A foot lever assist mechanism permits transport dollies to be more heavily loaded, saving the worker additional trips to deliver the entire supply. The lever assist may be configured to move from dolly to dolly, being secured by a pair of thumb screws or welded in place, secured to the axle. An auxiliary feature of this lever assist is the provision of a telescoping ladder-like extender and an extra long base which maximizes the advantage this foot lever assist mechanism provides.

A pivot bracket for a wheelbarrow having a bight with a ground-engaging portion positioned so as to enable a large pivoting angle of the wheelbarrow. In some preferred embodiments, the ground engaging portion is positioned forward of the wheel of the wheelbarrow and above the axis of rotation of the wheel.

Disclosed is a hand truck with a foot kick that rotates to be placed in a more compact position. The foot kick can include pins that fit within slots to move between the open and closed positions. The hand truck can therefore include a foot kick but still be compact enough to fit through hallways, staircases, and the like.

Embodiments of the invention are designed to be improvements over existing wheelbarrows. Certain embodiments comprise a frame, one or more weight-bearing wheels, and a pan. In certain embodiments, a wheelbarrow comprises a bight or a bumper having wheels. The wheels on the bight or bumper are located to the sides of a weight-bearing wheel. In certain embodiments, wheels located on each side of a bight or bumper portion allow a user to maneuver a wheelbarrow up or down a curb, or navigate stairs without causing damage to surfaces. Certain embodiments of the invention allow more efficient unloading of the contents of a wheelbarrow bed. Certain embodiments are designed to retrofit on existing wheelbarrows.

Hand truck with an adjustable wheel axle suitable for manual transport of heavy objects, comprising: an elongate and substantially planar main frame, a load plate fixedly connected to the front side of the main frame and at the lower end, an axle suspension comprising a rigid body which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the main frame and close to the lower end; a wheel axle, both ends of which are provided with a wheel and which is disposed rotatably inside the axle suspension, wherein the axle suspension comprises a guide for guiding the wheel axle over a path between a low and a high stop.

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.
