A transport apparatus for transporting heavy objects includes a chassis, which includes at least two side parts and a platform part and rear part between them, a load space arranged in the middle of the chassis, and at least one wheel mounted on each side of the load space of the chassis, with the aid of an axle. The chassis also includes a front part and second side parts, of which the second side parts, the front part, and the rear part together form a frame enclosed on the horizontal plane, inside of which frame is located at least one wheel on each side of the load space, its axle being supported on at least the second side part.

A loading module is configured to accommodate at least two vehicles. The loading module comprises a lower loading plate, an upper loading plate and a front device which connects the two loading plates. Two hydraulic cylinders are provided at a respective side of the loading plates and are arranged to enable displacement of the upper loading plate between a lower position and an upper position. The two hydraulic cylinders extend in a direction which together with the lower loading plate forms an acute angle having the tip directed towards the forward end when the upper loading plate is located in the lower and the upper position.

A charging system includes a work machine. The work machine includes a battery system. The charging system also includes a transport vehicle adapted to transport the work machine. The work machine is positioned on the transport vehicle for transportation thereof. The transport vehicle includes a fuel cell system. The fuel cell system of the transport vehicle provides operating power to the transport vehicle for propelling the transport vehicle. The fuel cell system further provides an electric power supply to the battery system of the work machine for charging the battery system.

Vehicle bed loading ramp systems are disclosed. Systems include (a) a first section comprising a rigid framework defining a pair of ramps, the first section having first outer edges extending parallel to the ramps; (b) a second section comprising a rigid framework defining a pair of ramps, the second section having second outer edges extending parallel to the ramps; (c) at least one wheel mounted adjacent each of the first outer edges; and (d) a pair of locking hinge assemblies mounted to extend between one of the first outer edges and an adjacent one of the second outer edges to provide a hinged coupling between the first section and the second section. When the locking hinge assemblies are locked open the ramps of the first and second sections are colinearly arranged and capable of supporting the weight of an off-road vehicle to be loaded without collapsing.

A securing system for securing an item of plant machinery to a trailer comprises a retainer disposed in a forward region of the trailer, the retainer comprising a recess for receiving a part of a dozer blade of said plant machinery, and the retainer being configured such that movement of a dozer blade engaged with the recess is restricted in forwards, rearwards and upwards directions relative to a floor of the trailer.

The aspects of the disclosed embodiments relate to a system for transferring a crawler chassis work machine, wherein the system includes an articulated frame steered transfer vehicle with a tow point, at least one dump hinge implemented with a transverse pivot shaft, a dump bed articulated with thee dump hinge, and a support point placed at a distance below the dump hinge, a low trailer with a platform for supporting the work machine on the low trailer during transfer, and a drawbar for fastening the low trailer pivotally to the tow point for towing the low trailer with the transfer vehicle, a draw arrangement supported to the pivot shaft and the support point non-rotatably with a torque arm included in the draw arrangement, wherein the draw arrangement includes a draw element for connecting the low trailer to the transfer vehicle with the draw arrangement.

A system for moving a work machine includes a towing vehicle, a trailer arranged to be towed with the towing vehicle, and a towing arrangement for the towing vehicle. The towing vehicle includes a towing vehicle's towing point arranged under its chassis between the front axle and rear axle. The trailer includes a chassis and a towing arm, a deck, and wheels. The towing arrangement includes: a drawbar having a first end pivoted to the towing vehicle's towing point and a second end having a drawbar's towing point for the trailer to be towed, a first pivot under the rear axle and in a transverse direction of the vehicle chassis for pivoting the drawbar to the towing vehicle's towing point, a second pivot having a vertical axis and being fitted to the drawbar's second end to transmit a load of the trailer being towed rigidly to the first pivot, a third pivot, located at one end of the drawbar, to permit the trailer to tilt in a transverse direction of the towing vehicle, a vertical support for the second pivot, an upper drawbar, and a connector arm, wherein the drawbar, the upper drawbar, and the connector arm form a closed structure around the rear axle.

A clamp for securing a pair of snowmobile skis to a bed having an attached loop includes a main body comprising spaced apart plates configured to provide rigidity to the clamp and a hook. The clamp includes at least one moveable plate within the main body having a camming surface engaged with the hook, and an actuating mechanism proximate an end of the main body. The actuating mechanism is configured to position the clamp into an unclamped position wherein the hook is disengaged from the loop attached to the bed and a clamped position where the hook engages the loop and is configured to apply a downward force on the skis by moving the at least one actuator plate within the main body to raise the hook through engagement with the camming surface.
