A motor vehicle receiver hitch adapter with associated wheeled scissor lift cargo cart and mounted payloads. The hitch adapter comprises a variable pitch control system for mounting a cargo cart and attached payload in which the scissor lift mechanism within the cart is also capable of compressive force to power a dynamic pitch control system. The cargo cart also incorporates a restraint system to prevent carrying vehicle damage, and a vibration dampening system to protect carried payloads.

The present invention relates to a removable electric propulsion system intended to be coupled to a rolling object. The propulsion system comprises a chassis provided with at least one wheel driven by an electric machine, and at least one non-driven wheel. Furthermore, the system, preferably the chassis, comprises means (5) for coupling the propulsion system to the rolling object. Besides, the coupling means comprises at least one means (100) providing combined and simultaneous gripping and lifting of at least one wheel (14) of the rolling object, preferably of two wheels (14) of the rolling object.

The invention also relates to a method for coupling a rolling object to such a propulsion system, this method enabling, simultaneously and through a combined action, gripping and lifting of at least one wheel (14) of the rolling object.

Systems and methods are provided for securing a transport device to preexisting studs or support members. One embodiment includes a clamp assembly with a compression fitting adapted to be secured to a plurality of different sized studs or wall supports, and further to support additional supports including, but not limited, horizontal support members. A transport device is further provided that is selectively connectable to clamp and support members of the disclosure. In another embodiment, a hook bracket is provided which includes a projection configured to be positioned in a hole through a stud. The extension may include a notch to engage a portion of the stud. The hook bracket includes at least one aperture adapted to secure the hook bracket to a support member operatively interconnected to the transport device.

A pallet jack includes a base and a pair of tines extending from the base. The pair of tines including a first tine and a second tine. A load wheel supports an outer end of each of the pair of tines. Each load wheel is configured to move toward and away from the respective tine to raise the tine off a floor on which the load wheel is supported. The first tine including a support surface configured to selectively be a lowermost surface of the tine to facilitate lateral displacement of the first tine.

A cargo container crane includes a body, having a bottom and top, the body including at least one drive wheel and a turning wheel at the bottom, and a horizontal cantilever at the top, the cantilever and the top of the body including a turning device, a drive motor that drives the at least one drive wheel, a lift motor, a lifting rope, a lifting rope drive device, wherein the lifting rope runs through the turning device, with one end of the lifting rope connected to a hook and the other end of the lifting rope connected to the lifting rope drive device, and a control handle, having a first button that causes forward and backward movement of the cargo container crane, and a second button that causes raising and lowering of the hook.

A slab cart comprising: a castor frame including: four castors rotatably mounted to an underside of the castor frame; a primary upright member emanating upward from each end of the castor frame; two or more secondary upright members emanating upward from each end of the castor frame; a pivoting member engaged to the primary upright member and the secondary upright members; a platform frame engaged to the pivoting member and the primary and secondary upright members wherein the platform frame may pivot from a substantially vertical orientation to a substantially horizontal orientation; a support member secured to the platform frame which is used to aid in the retention of slabs; and a lift mechanism operationally associated with the castor frame, the upright members and the platform frame wherein the lift mechanism may raise or lower the platform frame relative to the castor frame.

A cart is disclosed which is capable of being wheeled to a vehicle and mounted thereon through a mount secure coupling attached to the cart and a secure receiver attached to the vehicle. Upon secure attachment to the vehicle, the carts undercarriage assembly including wheels are capable of being retracted into the top deck assembly of the cart. Therefore, the vehicle maintains clearance from the road even after the cart is attached. Upon reaching a destination, the undercarriage of the cart is lowered and the cart is detached from the vehicle. The cart is then able to be wheeled away. The cart allows for transportation of loads without the need for the operator to actually carry either the load or the cart at any stage from start to finish or perform any additional steps to safe and securely attach the cart to the vehicle

The present disclosure is directed to device to lift, maneuver, hoist, and install an item such as a flat screen TV, cabinet, mirror, window, on the wall, such installation that would normally require more than one person. The present disclosure relates generally to a device that can lift large bulky heavy items in both vertical and horizontal directions for installing, mounting, and placing on the wall. This is accomplished by smooth and precise horizontal and vertical motion that is controlled by the operator. Manpower has been the common device of choice in many of these instances, and this invention will succeed in the cases that include handling bulky, large, cumbersome items or general items in congested or hard-to-reach places that would typically require more than one person to perform the lifting, installing, mounting, or moving.

A lift truck useful for positioning, placement, and mounting of renewable energy storage devices includes a lifting bracket and tongue raised and lowered by a powered jackscrew lift system. In use, the tongue is placed under a battery system and positioned at the place of installation. Once positioned, the truck is activated, raising the battery system and holding it in place during installation. With the use of the truck, a single technician is able to install the battery system, and risk of physical injury is minimized because the weight of the battery system is entirely supported by the truck during installation.

A conveyor system conveys devices for receiving components to be welded together, especially for internal combustion engine exhaust systems, into and out of a welding cell. The conveyor system includes a conveying vehicle (62) with a chassis (64) that can travel on a subfloor via rollers (68). A superstructure (78) is carried vertically adjustably on the chassis (64). At least one device carrier (14) receives components to be welded together in a position intended for the welding together in relation to one another. A positioning/holding formation (94) is provided on the superstructure (78) and a counter-positioning/holding formation (103) that meshes or can be caused mesh with the positioning/holding formation (94) is provided on the device carrier (14) for presetting a conveying position of the device carrier (14) on the superstructure (78).
