The powered hand truck and dolly system for ISO (International Organization for Standardization) containers is a system for moving ISO containers. The system includes at least one dolly and a powered hand truck. The hand truck includes two booms that are vertical for storage and rotate into a horizontal position for engaging the container. The ends of the booms have shafts with cams for engaging standard twist lock connector receptacles on one end of the container. Each dolly also has a shaft with a cam for engaging a standard twist lock connector receptacle on the other end of the container. The dollies include bars that are vertical for storage and rotate into a horizontal position for connecting the dollies to one another such that their shafts are appropriately positioned to align with their associated connector.

A material transfer vehicle includes a material-receiving device that is adapted to receive asphalt paving material, and a loading conveyor that is operatively connected to the material-receiving device and adapted to receive asphalt paving material from the material-receiving device. A ground operator's station is located adjacent to the material-receiving device. The ground operator's station includes a lower platform on which the ground operator may stand, and a seat on which the ground operator may sit.

A stand-up grounds maintenance vehicle including a chassis, a control tower, an implement, and a cover. The chassis is supported upon a ground surface by a plurality of ground-engaging members and extends along a longitudinal axis between a front end and a rear end. The control tower is coupled to the chassis proximate the rear end. The implement is attached to the chassis and is positioned at least partially forward of the control tower. The implement includes an implement drive. The cover extends over the implement drive and is pivotally coupled to the chassis.

Motorized hub assemblies for use with platforms and the corresponding motorized platforms are presented. At least one of the hub assemblies can be a motor and can contain an internal motor to propel the platform when activated. In some embodiments, the motorized platform has two sets of motorized wheels or two sets or motorized treads for differential rate maneuvering. In some embodiments, different base platforms are mounted to a single set of wheels or a single tread to provide a sporty style ride. A handlebar can also be implemented for greater stability. In all cases, there is no requirement for an electronic stabilization platform.

A vehicle control station includes a hand rest and at least one micro-joystick positioned relative to the hand rest such that the hand rest is configured to locate an operator's hand and fingers in position to operate the at least one micro-joystick. A function enable switch is configured to activate the at least one micro-joystick.

A material handling vehicle. The material handling vehicle including a vehicle body, an operator compartment, and a mast. The mast has a mounting platform, a first support member coupled to the mounting platform, a second support member coupled to the mounting platform, and a detection system coupled to the mast. The mast is coupled to the vehicle body at a frontward location relative to the operator compartment. The position of the mast on the vehicle body prevents the mast from impeding a field of view of an operator positioned in the operator compartment.

Vehicles having a control console that may be moved between a plurality of locations relative to the body of the vehicle are disclosed. The control console may include a direction control device for controlling movement of the vehicle that is adaptive such that movement of the vehicle is based on both the direction at which the direction control device is actuated and the sensed position of the control console.

An industrial truck comprises a driver standing platform and at least two side walls forming an entrance to the driver standing platform. One of the at least two side walls comprises a support for a transverse standing position of an operator. The support for the transverse standing position extends along a first plane. A control unit is positioned opposite the entrance and is configured to be operated by the operator while standing on the driver standing platform. A back section is positioned on one of the at least two side walls and configured to extend into the entrance and comprises a support for an oblique front standing position of the operator. The support for the oblique front standing position extends along a second plane and the back section is positioned at an angle relative to the support for the transverse standing position.
