The stroller further comprises a rear mount (22) extending, in the operable configuration, substantially vertically downward from an intermediate location along the length of the frame (10) and being pivotally mounted to the frame (10) such that, in a fully folded configuration, the rear mount (22) can be pivoted to a position substantially parallel to and behind the backrest (200). A rigid linking arm (28) is secured between the at least one leg (16) and the rear mount (22) such that when the leg (16) is pivoted, corresponding pivoting of the rear mount (22) is effected. A pivot mechanism between the leg (16) and the frame (10) is provided with a lock having an actuator.

A particular device includes a frame. The frame includes a first set of members defining a first side configured to be coupled to an instrumentation rack, a second set of members defining a second side, a third set of members defining a third side extending between the first side and the second side, a fourth set of members defining a fourth side, and a fifth set of members defining a fifth side. The fourth side and the fifth side are joined at an obtuse angle to extend between the first side and the second side. The device further includes a plurality of wheels coupled to the frame and extending external to the frame.

A foldable or collapsible cart can be oriented in several different configurations to accommodate different loads and transport requirements. In one configuration, the cart may be folded for direct load the back of a vehicle. In another configuration, the cart can operate in lowboy or dolly mode. In another configuration the cart may be used as a hand truck.

A castor supported dolly assembly, but also a dolly assembly that can be used with castors or in some cases without castors, so as to provide a new pallet assembly. The dolly assembly comprises a plurality of dolly members formed of a lightweight, disposable and/or severable material may be interconnected into interchangeable operative positions to define supporting orientations. Each dolly member includes and at least one connecting segment comprising a slot and a base. A connected orientation, of any two of the dolly members, comprises a confronting relation of the bases of engaging connecting segments and an aligned orientation of corresponding passages formed therein, so as to concurrently allow a castor to be removably received and retained in interconnecting relation to the confronting bases. Each dolly member may also include at least one supporting segment structured to receive a castor therein.

A lifting device includes a body or frame, a track, a lifting mechanism having a trolley moveable relative to the track for lifting an object, a main set of wheels coupled to a base portion of the body/frame, a maneuvering set of wheels coupled to the base portion between at least a portion of the main set of wheels and the trolley and vertically offset from the main set of wheels, and at least one arm extending outwardly from the base portion. The vertical offset between the main set and the maneuvering set of wheels forms a two stage lever which improves the mechanical advantage of the lifting device, thereby decreasing the amount of force needed to recline the object being lifted by the lifting device.

An electronic cart includes a frame, an electrically powered rotary motor, a rechargeable battery, and an electrical charging plug-in. The frame comprise a container with an open top end, a bottom end defining the floor, opposite side walls, and a rear wall with an opposite front wall. The container is foldable and has at least one wheel at the front. The frame has at least two wheels at the bottom thereof and a handlebar having control elements. The motor is mounted to the frame on which the container is provided. The motor is configured to drive at least one wheel provided on the frame and is operable and controllable by the handlebar control elements. The battery provides a power supply powering the motor. The battery is approximately attached to the frame. The plug-in is in communication with the battery for charging the battery.

The vehicle includes: a chassis which includes a front cross-member and a rear cross-member; a nacelle receiving a person or a load, pivotally mounted relative to the central part of the cross-members about a substantially longitudinal hinge axis, the center of gravity of the nacelle being situated below said hinge axis; a front train and a rear train, each including two movement supports on the ground, each movement support being connected to the end part of the corresponding cross-member by a connecting system; the cross-members, situated in the upper part of the nacelle, being separate pieces linked together only by the nacelle, via the hinge axis, so as to be able to pivot about the hinge axis independently of one another.

A drive belt assembly for a load handling device includes a drive belt; a drive wheel; and one or more driven wheels. A first tensioning arm, having a fixed end above an elbow and a rotatable distal end pivotally attached at the elbow, is horizontally displaceable relative to the drive wheel and driven wheels. A second tensioning arm is provided wherein the drive belt is routed around the first and second tensioning arms, and the first and second tensioning arms are arranged to put pressure on the drive belt to tension the drive belt.

A load handling device is disclosed for lifting and moving storage containers stacked in a grid framework structure having first and second sets of parallel rails or tracks. The load handling device includes: a body mounted on first and second sets of wheels arranged to engage with the tracks. A direction-change assembly is arranged to raise or lower the first set of wheels and or lower or raise the second set of wheels with respect to the body to engage and disengage the wheels with the tracks. The direction-change assembly includes a linkage-set having a series of members arranged between a traveller and a fixed brace, wherein the traveller is arranged to move under an applied force to cause the wheels to raise or lower.

A pallet sled includes a pair of tines extending forward from a base. A load wheel supports each of the pair of tines. The load wheels are each configured to move away from the respective tine to lift the respective tine upward relative to a support surface on which the load wheel is supported. A processor on the pallet sled records usage of the sled, such as lift cycles, location over time, battery condition, lift height, weight lifted, distance traveled, and the like. A communication circuit may be configured to send data from the pallet sled to a remote server. An identification reader may be configured to read an identification tag of an object supported on the pair of tines, such as an rfid tag on a pallet.
