A flatbed truck with a foldable caster unit, comprising a load-bearing plate, a load-bearing support frame and a caster unit, and further comprising a caster unit rotation driving device. The caster unit rotation driving device comprises an operating handle, a connecting rod, a front linkage mechanism and a rear linkage mechanism, wherein the operating handle is pivotally connected with the load-bearing plate and is rotatable around a pivot axis of the operating handle. The operating handle is capable of linking with the front linkage mechanism and the rear linkage mechanism via the connecting rod to respectively drive the front caster unit and the rear caster unit to be rotated from the folded storage position to the unfolded rolling position, when the operating handle is rotated from a first position to a second position.

A retractable wheel assembly may include a fork that may be pivotally coupled to an object and a wheel that may be rotatably mounted on the fork. The retractable wheel assembly may further include a hollow housing that may be made up of an elongated housing portion pivotally coupled to the fork from a first end of the elongated housing portion and a curved housing portion integrally formed with an opposing second end of the elongated housing portion. The retractable wheel assembly may further include a weight disposed and moveable within the housing.

A multi-terrain cart, comprising a cart body, two front and two rear non-pivoting wheels, a swivel wheel positioned forwardly or rearwardly to the front and rear non-pivoting wheels, respectively, an actuator for applying a downward force to the swivel wheel which causes the swivel wheel to be set at an operative position and two of the non-pivoting wheels to be raised relative to an underlying ground surface, and means for setting an angle of the swivel wheel relative to a lengthwise extending centerline of the cart body to cause the cart to rotate about a center of rotation that is determined by the set angle of the swivel wheel.

Disclosed is a cyclic mechanism for engaging or disengaging a switch with the stage of the cycle being determined by a height to which a first object is lifted relative to a second object. The mechanism has few moving parts, is inexpensive to manufacture, is reliable, can be incorporated into a wide range of devices or structures, and operates as an incident to raising or lowering a first object relative to a second.

A server rack including a bottom panel, a top panel opposite to said bottom panel, a plurality of housing units configured for receiving rack-mountable equipment, the plurality of housing units being horizontally side-by-side arranged between the top panel and the bottom panel, the bottom panel comprising two support rails for supporting the server rack.

Maneuverable ergonomic trailer stands are disclosed. An example portable trailer stand includes: a frame having an upper ledge, a post, and a lower subframe, the lower subframe connected to the upper ledge via the post; an extendible leg coupled to the post independent of the lower subframe, the upper ledge being vertically movable based on movement of the extendible leg relative to the upper ledge, the post, and the lower subframe of the frame; and a wheel connected to the frame via the lower subframe such that the wheel is to move with the upper ledge as the upper ledge is vertically moved.
