A hitch attachment for dragging logs from a vehicle. The hitch attachment includes a base having a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end of the base is configured to fit within a tow receiver of the vehicle. A vertical frame extends from the base in between the proximal end and the distal end. A log cradle is coupled to the distal end of the base. The log cradle includes a plurality of vertically extending teeth.

A field-mountable winch assembly comprising a boom, boom mount, motor, drum, rollers for supporting a line, base, rotating drum and a clamp is disclosed. The field-mountable winch assembly may rotate a drum pulling a line over rollers raising a power line to be attached to a utility pole. The winch may be clamped to the crossbeam of the utility pole freeing a utility platform of the tools necessary to raise the power line.

A variable footprint handling apparatus (501, 501, 501) for handling containers (105) is described comprising: a first column (555) adapted to be associated with the fifth wheel (530) of a tractor (510), a second column (575) to which a first idle ground support wheel (580) is idly associated, a third column (600) to which a second idle ground support wheel (605) is idly associated, a lifting arrangement (640, 645, 650, 655, 660, 665, 670, 675, 680, 685) for lifting the container (105), and a connection arrangement (620, 630, 635) that connects the second column (575) and the third column (600) to the first column (555) and is configured to move at least one of the three columns with respect to another of the three columns between a first position, and a second position, in which a footprint in plan of the apparatus in said second position is smaller than a footprint in plan of the apparatus in said first position.

A winch pole unit that is attached to an ATV four wheeler rack and swivels on a 2 inch receiver ball. It is designed to pick up and load deer on the rear rake, can be loaded by one person.

A vehicle winch game loader. The device includes a central support including a first pulley connected to an upper end thereof. A rear support is connected to the upper end of the central support. A front support includes a rear end connected to a lower end of the central support and a front end having a second pulley connected thereto. The front support extends in a direction opposite the rear support. A crossbar is connected to the lower end of the central support, wherein the crossbar is oriented perpendicular to the front support. A rear end of the rear support is configured to frictionally engage a rear end of a vehicle when the crossbar and the front support are supported on an upper surface of a front end of the vehicle. The device may be utilized to load game or other objects onto the vehicle using the vehicle's winch.

A load carrier for a vehicle comprising a vehicle roof supports adapted to carry a load thereon in a consistent vertical orientation; a lifting apparatus for lifting the load from a lower position in the consistent vertical orientation to a raised position at or above the vehicle roof supports; wherein the load is able to be lifted in the consistent vertical orientation and supported in the same consistent vertical orientation.

A modular trailer system is disclosed. The system may include variously configured modular rails, tie down systems, fender mounting systems, cable fences, modular ramps, and/or mountable accessories whereby the versatile trailer system may be readily reconfigured.

A portable hoist provides motorized hoisting and coincidental skinning of game animals. The hoist is preferably secured to an existing motor vehicle and is made using an adaptable segmented frame. A top frame portion includes an electric cable winch and may rotate to any orientation to position a hanging animal carcass where desired. A base portion of the hoist includes a pair of clamps which grip a hide portion of the animal. The winch is then used to simultaneously hoist and remove the hide of the animal.

Modular container delivery systems and methods are described herein. A modular container delivery system may be implemented to facilitate autonomous delivery of packages to customers. A modular container, as described in greater detail below, may be attached to a battery operated electric vehicle (BEV) and autonomous driving platform chassis. The container system itself contains a package sorting mechanism that is configured to move packages inside the vehicle, organize them into separate section of the vehicle and retrieve packages for delivery on as needed.
