A wagon for transporting beach articles and elongated water sport boards has a bed with a peripheral frame with two cross tubes beneath a bottom wall. The frame is carried on front and rear wheel assemblies. Front and rear walls are mounted to the frame, and side walls are adjustably positioned with respect to the frame. Each side wall has two tubular extensible support members which telescope within the frame cross members. When a side wall is positioned outwardly, the extensible support members are positioned to receive a water sport board thereon, such that it extends through front and rear slots defined between the front and rear walls and the extended side wall. A latch is associated with each side wall and actuatable to alternatively secure or release the wall. The latch may be a clamp with an elastomeric plug expandable from an extensible support member withing a cross member.

A dolly assembly includes a dolly having an upper surface and a lower surface, and an aperture passing into at least the lower surface, and a ramp having an extension that extends beyond an edge of the ramp, the extension having at least one upward-facing ramp nub that, when positioned in the aperture, the ramp and the dolly are locked together as a unit.

An accessory attachment mechanism for a wagon is provided. The mechanism has a mounting bracket, a pivot arm, and a retention mechanism. The mounting bracket is connected to the wagon and has a first opening, a second opening, and a pivot member. The pivot arm is pivotally connected to the mounting bracket at the pivot member and pivots about a plane generally parallel to a base of the wagon between a storage position and a use position. A pin extends through the pivot arm into separate openings in the mounting bracket to retain the pivot arm in the storage and use positions. The retention mechanism is provided at an end of the pivot arm and has a moveable clamp member adapted to secure an accessory thereto.

A lift mechanism. The lift mechanism includes a base configured to support the lift mechanism in an upright position. A neck is upstanding from the base. A lift bracket is coupled to the neck. A coupling bracket includes a U-shape having a base and arms extending from opposing ends of the base. The base is coupled to the lift bracket. A linear actuator is configured to move the lift bracket up and down along the neck.

Implementations of a collapsible tilt truck that can be used to collect, transport, and dump refuse are provided. The tilt truck is configured so that it can be collapsed (or folded) when not in use, thereby facilitating its storage in a compact space. The tilt truck comprises a collapsible frame and collection bin. The collection bin comprises a two-part bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and two lateral side panels, each of the panels is attached to the collapsible frame. The lateral side panels are configured to fold when the tilt truck is collapsed. In some implementation, the collapsible tilt truck includes a trash bag bracket that is positioned within the collection bin. In this way, a trash bag can be secured to the trash bag bracket and used to collect and transport loose trash and/or recyclables separately from the refuse generally stored in the collection bin.

Method, system, apparatus, and/or device for tipping or pouring a dewar into another receptacle. The dewar tipping system includes a first dewar. The first dewar is configured to store a liquid or gas. The dewar tipping system includes a dewar tipper with a cradle. The cradle is configured to capture the first dewar. The dewar tipper includes a counter balance assembly that is configured to tip or angle the cradle to pour a liquid or gas out of the first dewar. The dewar tipper includes a handle. The handle is configured to activate the counter balance assembly when in an engaged position. The dewar tipping system includes one of a second dewar or a catch basin. The one of the second dewar or the catch basin receives the liquid or gas when the first dewar is angled or inverted.

Items such as loaves of bread are typically held for transport in a plastic crate. Often such crates are stacked on one another in a factory-bakery, a warehouse, a freight vehicle or a retail outlet. It can be problematic move stacked crates as lifting machinery is often not able to adequately hold on to them. If they are not held securely then crates may drop from the stack, which is inconvenient, not to mention a safety hazard. An object of a preferred form of the invention to address this problem by way of a crate lifter 1 comprising a main support mast 3, a carriage 8 engaged with the mast and rollers 6, 7 that enable the lifter to be moved. The carriage has clamps 9 adapted to move laterally with respect to the mast 3 to grip one or more crates 2 so that the crate(s) can be moved by the carriage up and down the mast. The carriage has a keeper 14 arranged such that it is caused to swing in response to the clamps 9 engaging the crate 2, or the lowest crate to be moved if there is more than one, to bring a ledge 14b of the keeper 14 into engagement with that crate to prevent it dropping free from the carriage.

A sled transport apparatus for transporting people and supplies on sand and snow includes a sled body having a bow, a stern, a starboard side, a port side, a bottom, an upper perimeter, and a cavity. A divider wall is coupled to the sled body and extends from the starboard side to the port side and from the bottom to the upper perimeter. The divider wall forms a cooler receptacle within the cavity from the divider wall to the stern that is configured to receive a cooler. A seat bottom is coupled to the sled body adjacent the divider wall and extending from the starboard side to the port side and toward the bow. A towrope is coupled to the sled body.

A cart is disclosed for carrying a gas bottle. The cart includes a wheeled frame and a bottle support platform. The support platform is configured to pivot between a loading position in which a gas bottle may be loaded and/or unloaded from the bottle support platform and a cradle position in which the gas bottle and the bottle support platform are elevated. A bottle rest may support the bottle when the bottle support platform is in the cradle position. A bottle support spine may also, or alternatively, support the bottle during transportation and act as a lever for pivoting the bottle support platform between the loading position and the cradle position.

The invention features a mobile foldable instrument stand that functions as both an instrument stand and a mode of transport. The mobile foldable instrument stand comprises a base, an adjustable spine attached to the base, a wheel, a rotatably hinged handle and fork to support and hold an instrument and an elastic cord to further secure the instrument to the mobile foldable instrument stand. The mobile foldable instrument stand is foldable for ease of storage.
