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.

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.

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 novel trailer apparatus is separately disclosed.

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 trailer for transporting agricultural equipment over the road. The trailer includes a frame that supports a wheel travel path that is traversed by the tires of agricultural equipment hauled by the trailer roll as the equipment is loaded on and unloaded off the trailer. The wheel travel path includes a) an inclined rear section located at or near the back of the trailer, b) an over-wheel section located generally in front of the inclined rear section and positioned generally over one or more trailer wheels, c) a dropped landing section located generally in front of the over-wheel section, and d) an elevated landing section located generally in front of the dropped landing section. The over-wheel section is elevated relative to the dropped landing section and the elevated landing section is elevated relative to said over-wheel section.
