A transport trailer includes an elongated body having spaced vertical supports for vertical actuators, a lower deck extending along and supported by the elongated body, and an upper deck supported by the vertical actuators. The upper deck is movable along the vertical supports via the vertical actuators. The upper deck can be lowered to a position to be substantially superimposed on top of the lower deck by the vertical actuators.

A layover bracket system is disclosed for supporting an industrial vehicle in a horizontal position. The layover bracket system includes a layover bracket removably coupled to a proximal end portion of the industrial vehicle, the layover bracket including at least one wheel for moving the layover bracket system with the industrial vehicle supported thereon while the industrial vehicle is in the horizontal position. The layover bracket supports the proximal end portion of the industrial vehicle when the industrial vehicle is in a horizontal position and allows the layover bracket system and industrial vehicle to roll on the at least one wheel of the layover bracket. The layover bracket system may also include a support bracket for supporting a distal end of the industrial vehicle while the vehicle is in the horizontal position.

A work vehicle reduction drive assembly includes a drive having a drive shaft mechanically linked to a movable work component through a planetary gear train is. The planetary gear train includes a ring gear having a tooth count of T.sub.ring, a sun gear having a tooth count of T.sub.sun, and a planet-carrier assembly including a plurality of planet gears each having a tooth count of T.sub.planet. T.sub.ring, T.sub.sun, and T.sub.planet are selected such that each planet gear in the plurality of planet gears contacts at least two teeth of the sun gear and at least two teeth of the ring gear in all rotational positions of the planetary gear train. The sum of T.sub.ring and T.sub.sun yields a positive integer when divided by a first number from a set {3, 4, 5} and when divided by a second number from the set {3, 4, 5}.

A vehicle rack for hauling one or more personal recreational vehicles is provided. A vehicle rack may be adjustable to allow one or more personal recreation vehicles to be stored above a vehicle's cargo area allowing the vehicle to also tow a trailer.

A vehicle includes an electric machine, a detachable lift, and a controller. The detachable lift has a lift battery that is electrically connected to the electric machine. The controller is programmed to, responsive to the vehicle traveling on a predetermined route, transfer power between the electric machine and lift battery such that a lift battery charge is within a desired range at an end of the route.

A concrete saw trailing having a deck for receiving the saw and safely transporting the saw. The saw trailer additionally includes a vacuum excavation system having a vacuum tank for recovering debris from a worksite, a power washing system for cleaning operations, and a cooling water supply system for coupling to and supporting use of the concrete saw. A pair of split ramps permit access to the deck from the street side of the trailer, and two opposing saddle bag water tanks provide enough water for the use of vacuum excavation system, power washing system, and cooling water supply system.

A novel method of repairing and modifying a heavy-duty industrial rack includes: a) providing an enclosed trailer having: 1) a forklift compartment; 2) a ramp for the loading and unloading a forklift and its payload to and from the trailer; 3) a forklift for moving a rack to and from the trailer; 4) a rack repair compartment; 5) rack repair raw materials; 6) at least one rack component bonding apparatus for bonding components of the rack; 7) at least one rack component bending apparatus; 8) at least one rack machining apparatus; and 9) a hitch for coupling the trailer to a truck for moving the trailer to a new location when desired; and b) moving the trailer to an onsite location having a rack targeted for repair or modification. The method also at least includes: c) unloading the forklift from the trailer via the ramp; d) driving to the forklift to the targeted rack; e) lifting the targeted rack and transporting it to the trailer; f) loading the targeted rack onto the trailer via the ramp; g) locating the targeted industrial rack in the rack repair compartment; h) performing repairs or modifications on the rack; i) after repairs or modifications, lifting and removing the rack from the trailer via the forklift and the ramp; j) driving the repaired or modified rack to an onsite location; and k) unloading the repaired or modified rack from the forklift. A novel trailer apparatus is separately disclosed.

In a kit comprising a self-propelled two-track stilt vehicle and a transportation trailer, a lifting device, braced on the trailer, is provided that acts on central elements of the running and carrying structure of the stilt vehicle. The running and carrying structure of the stilt vehicle having four wheels comprises, oriented transversely relative to the travel direction, front and rear transverse structures, on which two stilt structures respectively having a wheel-carrying unit that carries at least one wheel are disposed on both sides at the end. The transverse structures are constructed in multiple parts having a middle piece and left and right end pieces, which can be fixed in various width positions. The stilt structures are constructed in multiple parts having primary parts connected to the associated end piece of the transverse structure and secondary parts, fixable thereon in various height positions and on which associated wheel-carrying units are disposed.

A transport trailer includes an elongated body having spaced vertical supports for vertical actuators, a lower deck extending along and supported by the elongated body, and an upper deck supported by the vertical actuators. The upper deck is movable along the vertical supports via the vertical actuators. The upper deck can be lowered to a position to be substantially superimposed on top of the lower deck by the vertical actuators.

A system for transporting a crane includes a crane which has a boom which is connected to a base, the base has a front end and an opposite rear end. A coupler is connected between a tractor and the front end of the base. A dolly is connected to the rear end of the base. In an embodiment the dolly includes a rear cradle which is shaped and dimensioned to receive and support the boom during transporting. In another embodiment the coupler includes a front cradle which is shaped and dimensioned to receive and support the boom during transporting.
