A cart adapted to be attached to and carried by a vehicle with a receiver[define receiver to include attachments], comprising: a cart body; a connector attached to the body; four arms, each pivotably attached at a first end to the body; four wheels, each connected to a second end of one of the four arms; four arm actuators, each configured to pivot one of the four arms such that each wheel can be moved closer to or further away from the body; a controller; and at least two motors, each configured to rotate one wheel, each independently controlled by the controller; wherein the connector is adapted to mechanically engage the receiver; whereby the controller can move the cart and control the yaw of the cart by rotating one or more of the wheels; wherein the controller can adjust the height of the cart, the pitch of the cart, and the roll of the cart by pivoting one or more of the four arms; and whereby the cart is hitched to the vehicle such that the weight of the cart is born by the vehicle is disclosed.

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

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).

A multipurpose mobile utility lifting ergonomic cart consists of a structural frame, a platform, at least one insert, a plurality of wheels, and a height-adjustable arm. The height-adjustable arm extends from the structural frame and is connected to the platform so that the platform can be positioned at varying heights. The platform provides workspace for the user by being attached to the at least one insert that can be, but is not limited to, a dish drying rack, a podium insert, or a house cleaner rack. The structural frame can be used for holding items such as boxes or cleaning supplies. The plurality of wheels allows the user to move the apparatus from one location to another.

A tool cabinet includes a cabinet body having two guide rails, a working platform unit having a movable platform member and two hollow extension members, two lifting units each having a threaded rod, two driving units, and a control unit. The extension members are respectively slidable relative to the guide rails. The threaded rods respectively extend through the extension members and telescopically into the guide tubes. Each driving unit has a motor, and a speed reduction mechanism driven to rotate the threaded rod of a respective lifting unit. The control unit is connected to the motors for synchronizing movements of the motors.

A rolling cart/carrier that self-rights a pet contained in the rolling cart/carrier regardless of what terrain is traversed, and is height-adjustable so as to allow comfortable rolling of the rolling cart/carrier by a user. The rolling cart/carrier includes a cart and a carrier. The cart is height-adjustable so as to allow comfortable rolling of the rolling cart/carrier by the user. The carrier is replaceably attached to the cart, and self-rights the pet contained in the carrier regardless of what terrain is traversed by the cart.

A carrier mounting (3a, 3b) for supporting an infant carrier on a pushchair chassis, the mounting comprising a socket member having a first socket (17) and a second socket (19) therein, both sockets being configured to receive a correspondingly shaped mounting strut of an infant carrier. The socket member is pivotable between first and second positions such that when the carrier mounting is connected to a pushchair chassis, the first or second socket (17, 19) respectively is locatable in a receiving position in which a longitudinal axis of the respective socket bore is oriented with respect to the pushchair chassis at an angle suitable for receiving a mounting strut of an infant carrier. When the second socket (19) is in its receiving position, said second socket (19) supports the infant carrier at a higher point on the pushchair chassis than the first socket (17). The carrier mounting further comprises a locking mechanism (23) configured to releasably hold the socket member in each of the first and second positions, and to allow pivoting therebetween.

A transportation device includes a frame and a carrier. The frame includes a rail, a fixing base, an unlock member and a sliding member. The rail has a first engaging hole with a first retaining wall. The unlock member has an engaging portion. An end of the sliding member abuts against the unlock member. The carrier includes a connecting base with a rib. The connecting base is connected to the fixing base to install the carrier on the frame. When the carrier faces a first direction, the rib pushes the sliding member to push the unlock member, such that a length of the engaging portion protruding from the fixing base is reduced. When the carrier faces a second direction, the rib is staggered with the sliding member.

A tool can aid in articulating a water heater onto, and off of, an elevated pedestal. The tool can consist of at least a frame that is pivotally attached to a stationary base via a fulcrum feature. The frame may be sized to support a water heater with at least a pair of rails. The stationary base can have at least one rigid pivot stop cantilevered from a base body and shaped to maintain the stationary base at a non-normal tilted orientation.
