A multi-purpose telescoping trailer for transporting a vehicle and providing expandable enclosed interior space is disclosed. The interior space may be expanded into the vehicle space when the vehicle is not present. The trailer includes a frame having at least two wheels, a bed for receiving and transporting a vehicle and a means for securing the trailer to a towing vehicle. The trailer also includes an inner housing and an outer housing that together form an expandable enclosed interior space. The interior space can be expanded by sliding the inner housing generally outside of the outer housing in a telescoping manner when there is no vehicle stored in the vehicle bed.

The present disclosure relates to a system for transporting articles or loads, the system being formed by at least one carriage comprising a platform provided with at least two axles supporting wheels, and a carrying vehicle, wherein the carrying vehicle is a self-propelled vehicle comprising a platform that can be slid underneath one of the carriages, the platform comprising means for lifting the carriage high enough to prevent contact of the wheels with the ground.

An aerodynamic trailer including first and second side panels, the side panels each having a trapezoidal channel running along a substantial length thereof; an arcuate front panel extending substantially between front edges of the side panels; a top positioned above the front panel and the side panels, the top having a rearwardly sloping front section and two oppositely positioned outer fins running along outward portions thereof and a center fin running along a center thereof; a door positioned at rear edges of the side panels and the top; and at least one axle supporting at least two wheels. Other features of the trailer create aerodynamic benefits.

A tow truck carrier with sub frame rails above the carrier chassis frame rails that also reduces platform height thereby presenting a lower center of gravity. Sub frame rails of rectangular steel tubing with the wider dimension of the tubing are used in a horizontal, low profile orientation, with the direct attachment of the lift cylinder ends to the sub frame rails or to a cross beam to lower the platform. The sub frame rails form a descending ladder frame with cross members attached via brackets so that they are lowered into the recess between the chassis side frame. A lifting bracket is welded to the underside of each sub frame rail underneath the overhang and adjacent to the chassis frame to accept the end of a lifting cylinder rod while leaving some space for sliding engagement of a platform beam which engages three edges of the sub frame rail.

A mobile lift caddy is configured to remove a vehicle from a primary lift while the vehicle is elevated above the workplace floor and then transport the vehicle to another location. The mobile lift caddy is dimensioned to fit between vertical lift posts of the primary lift. A mobility drive arrangement moves the caddy under operator control to and from the workplace location. Caddy lift arms are configured to accept a portion of removable lift pad assemblies at the lift arms of the primary lift, to lift out the lift pad assembly with the vehicle supported on the lift pads.

A vehicle retrieval trailer for use in towing a failed vehicle. The trailer has a chassis supporting a towbar with first attachment means to releasably attach the trailer to a tow vehicle and a second attachment means to releasably attach the trailer to a vehicle to be towed, and ground engaging means supporting the support structure, and a hitch separate from the first attachment means for attaching the trailer to a transport vehicle. The retrieval trailer can include an on-board air compressor and an on-board hydraulic power pack. The retrieval trailer can be used for rescuing failed or dead vehicles, particularly mining vehicles.

A lift system comprising a chassis having a frame. The frame including a first extension member and a second extension member opposite thereof. Each of the first extension member and the second extension member being extendable and coupled to the frame. A first scissor support is coupled to the first extension member. A second scissor support is coupled to the second extension member. The first and second scissor supports are configured rigid and extendable from each of the first and second extension members. A platform is coupled to each of the first and second scissor support. The platform is configured to rigidly support an object coupled thereto. A first actuator is coupled to the frame. The first actuator is configured to extend and retract the first and second extension members. A second actuator is coupled to the scissor lift and configured to move the platform.
