A method of, and apparatus for, handling a first die unit usable on a sheet extrusion system. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a carriage; placing the first die unit in a supported staging position on the carriage, the carriage configured so that with the first die unit in the supported staging position the first die unit can be moved guidingly around an axis; with the first die unit in the supported staging position, moving the first die unit guidingly around the axis to a desired angular orientation to thereby facilitate access to one or more identified regions of the first die unit; and performing an operation at the one or more identified regions of the first die unit.

A device configured to lift and transport a pipe at a worksite includes a base, a mast coupled to the base, a carriage coupled to the mast, a positioning assembly having a cable that is attachable to the pipe for lifting the pipe from a surface of the worksite to the carriage, upon which the pipe is thereafter supportable, and a lifting assembly configured to move the mast and the carriage to a desired elevation relative to the base to further lift the pipe from the worksite surface.

The present disclosure relates to a dump truck, and belongs to the technical field of means of transport. The dump truck includes a chassis frame, a truck bed and rotating frames, where first hinge points exist between the rotating frames and the chassis frame, second hinge points exist between the rotating frames and the truck bed, in a flipping and dumping process of the truck bed relative to the chassis frame, the truck bed can sequentially flip around the first hinge points and the second hinge points, in a flipping process of the truck bed, the truck bed can flip to different states by using a small force depending on dumping completeness of materials, so as to completely dump the materials, a structure is novel, and flexibility is high.

A mobile transporter is provided. The transporter includes a lower frame structure, an upper frame structure, a plurality of posts coupled to the lower frame structure and the upper frame structure, a roller assembly provided on the lower frame structure, a panel that extends from and retracts into the transporter, and a wheel that supports the panel, when the panel is extended from the transporter between a second partially open state and a fully open state.

A pallet lift includes a base and a deck extending forward of the base. Load wheels support the deck. A platform above the deck is pivotable relative to the base. The platform has an upper support surface for supporting objects thereon. The platform may be pivoted as the pallet lift travels on an inclined surface, such as a truck ramp, in order to keep the platform relatively level relative to gravity to increase stability.

A vehicle system includes a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The first vehicle includes a first drive motor configured to drive one or more of a first plurality of tractive elements to propel the first vehicle, and a first cradle configured to support a product at a first end thereof for movement. The second vehicle includes a second drive motor configured to drive one or more of a second plurality of tractive elements to propel the second vehicle, and a second cradle configured to support the product at a second end thereof for movement. The first vehicle and the second vehicle move the product via at least one of the first drive motor or the second drive motor.

A vehicle coupling system includes a first vehicle, a second vehicle, and a tow bar. The first vehicle includes a drive motor configured to propel the first vehicle and a lifting implement configured to support a product for movement. The second vehicle includes a lifting implement configured to support the product for movement. The tow bar is coupled to the first vehicle at a first end of the tow bar and coupled to the second vehicle at a second end of the tow bar opposite the first end. Responsive to the drive motor propelling the first vehicle, the tow bar exerts a force on the second vehicle to maintain a space between the second vehicle and the first vehicle.

A cart includes a chassis including one or more frame members, one or more casters, a first channel and a second channel coupled to the chassis, the first channel defining a longitudinal axis and the second channel defining a lateral axis. The first channel and the second channel each include a pair of guides each including a first portion and a second portion and a flat member coupling the guide to the frame members. The first portions extend substantially parallel to one another. The second portions are angled to increase a distance between the second portions as the second portions extend away from the first portions.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a frame, a tractive element, a drive motor, and a cart interface. The cart interface includes a base frame coupled to the frame assembly of the vehicle, and a first and second pin assembly. The first and second pin assembly each include first pin configured to engage a cart and a actuator configured to raise the pin relative to the frame. The first pin assembly also includes a first linear actuator configured to bias the first pin relative to the first linear actuator and to permit relative movement between the first pin and first linear actuator. The cart interface includes a first actuator to reposition the first pin independently of the second pin and is configured to hold the pin in either of a lowered position, a raised position above a lowered position and an intermediate position between the raised and lowered positions.

A vehicle includes a frame, a drivetrain coupled to the frame, a base assembly coupled to the frame, and a lifting implement coupled to and supported on the base assembly. The lifting implement includes a platform, a cradle rotatably coupled to and supported on the platform so that the cradle, a scissor assembly coupled between the platform and the base assembly, and a lift actuator coupled between the base assembly and the scissor assembly. The lift actuator is configured to selectively raise the cradle relative to the base assembly. The lift actuator is a multi-stage telescoping actuator that includes a base stage, an intermediate stage, and an outer stage. The base stage is coupled to the base assembly, the outer stage is coupled to the scissor assembly, and the intermediate stage is arranged between the base stage and the outer stage.
