Reusable Cradle System and Method for a Material Handling Vehicle
A cradle system for a material handling vehicle including two or more elongated legs configured to removably attach to a mast of the material handling vehicle and two or more sleighs configured to removably attach to a base of the material handling vehicle. The cradle system may include a brace configured to removably attach to the legs and a crossmember configured to removably attach to the sleighs. The cradle system has a vehicle configuration in the various components are coupled with a material handling vehicle. With the material handling vehicle in a horizontal position, the attached elongated legs and the attached sleighs support the material handling vehicle above a surface. The cradle system has a storage configuration in which the various components are nested together to minimize the area of the cradle system.

WIND TURBINE NACELLE
A wind turbine nacelle configured for mounting on a wind turbine tower and for supporting a rotor assembly, the nacelle comprising at least a first and a second nacelle module. The first nacelle module comprises a first frame structure and a main bearing system for a main shaft of the rotor assembly, and the second nacelle module comprises a second frame structure and a drive train system for the wind turbine. When the nacelle is mounted on the wind turbine tower, the main bearing system is supported by the wind turbine tower, and the drive train system is attached to the main bearing such that the weight of the drive train system is transferred to the main bearing system and thereby to the wind turbine tower. Further, the first frame structure is configured to support the main bearing system during transportation and prior to mounting of the nacelle, and the second frame structure is configured to support the drive train system during transportation and prior to mounting of the nacelle, and the first and second frame structures form a load carrying structure of a first and a second shipping freight container such that the first and second nacelle module can be transported as shipping freight containers. When the nacelle is mounted on the wind turbine tower, the first and second frame structures may be placed side by side in a direction along a rotational axis of the wind turbine rotor and may be oriented such as to have a length extending transversely to a rotational axis of the wind turbine rotor.

Shipping Container with Hinged, Sliding Dunnage
A shipping container includes a body defining an interior. The shipping container further includes a dunnage assembly, the dunnage assembly including a tray and a hinge, the hinge subdividing the tray into a first tray portion and a second tray portion. The dunnage assembly is movable along a transverse axis between a first position wherein the second tray portion is at least partially disposed within the interior and a second position wherein the second tray portion is entirely exterior to the body. The second tray portion is rotatable relative to the first tray portion about the hinge when the dunnage assembly is moved between the first position and the second position.
