OFF-ROAD VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a recessed roof panel (100) for a vehicle, the recessed roof panel comprising a housing 101) with a basin (102) and a lip portion (104) at least partly surrounding the basin, wherein the housing is configured such that, in use, the basin (102) extends towards an interior of a vehicle when the lip portion (102) abuts against an exterior surface of a vehicle roof.
STORAGE CONTAINER FOR A TRAILER
The present invention relates to a container for transport and storage of excavator attachments. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a container for securing excavator attachments on a trailer. A container for retaining an excavator attachment on a trailer comprises a lower portion including a base, a pair of opposing end walls, and a front wall; a lid connected to the lower portion and arranged to pivot between a first position, in which the container may receive an excavator attachment, and a second position, in which the excavator attachment is retained by the container; and a coupling configured to secure the container to a trailer such that the end walls of the lower portion are adjacent side walls of the trailer and the front wall of the lower portion is adjacent a front wall of the trailer, wherein a depth of the lid, in a direction perpendicular to the base of the container, is greater than a depth of the lower portion.
ADJUSTABLE SHORING BEAM AND HOOK ASSEMBLY
Disclosed herein is an adjustable shoring beam having a hook assembly configured to mate with E-track mating features. The adjustable shoring beam can be adjusted over a predetermined length range by adjusting the tube assembly and the rod assembly. In some embodiments, the extension length is fixed using a fixing clamp coupled to the tube assembly and the rod assembly. A connecting clamp and bracket may be used to couple a first adjustable shoring beam to a second adjustable shoring beam.
Ratchet Strap Hook Lock Device
The present invention relates to a ratchet strap hook lock device for securing the hook of a ratchet strap to an anchor point. The body of the device can be attached to a ratchet strap by placing the strap within a notch in the body, placing at least one fastener through the body and fastening the fastener, and securing the lid to the body. Then, at least one hook of the lid can be placed on the base of a ratchet strap hook to further secure the device to the ratchet strap. When a user wishes to secure a hook of the ratchet strap to an anchor point, a lever of the device can be pushed through the body and locked into position such that an anchor point is positioned between the hook and the lever.
Footman loop clip
A footman loop clip includes a body and a bend formed in the body such that an end of the body is inboard of the bend, the body having an aperture. A pin passes through the aperture and has a pin head on one end, and a pull feature on the other end. A spring biases the pull feature toward the body. The pull feature is biased toward the body and when the pull feature is pulled a gap is formed and increased between the pin head and the end of the body.
WHEEL SHIELD APPARATUS
Disclosed herein is a wheel shield apparatus that includes a pair of elongated parallel tube members in perpendicular engagement with a pair of short parallel tube members, at least one removable side of the wheel shield apparatus is operable to be temporarily opened or removed such that the wheel shield apparatus may be placed around a wheel of a neurosurgical microscope or some other type of heavy wheeled machinery and the removable side may be placed in a closed position such that the wheel shield surrounds the wheel. Each of the pair of elongated parallel tube members and/or each of the pair of short parallel tube members comprises a cavity configured to receive a ballast material to provide sufficient weight to ensure that the wheel shield apparatus contacts the floor such that cables along the floor are pushed out of the way by the wheel shield apparatus and prevented from being run over while the machinery is being transported.
WEB RETRACTOR WITH SIDE, TOP OR BOTTOM WEB EXIT
A web retractor may include a frame with spaced-apart first and second side walls and a bottom wall coupling together the side walls, the frame defining an opening through the first side wall, the second side wall or the bottom wall, a spool rotatably mounted to and between the first and second side walls and spaced apart from the opening, a web having one end mounted to the spool, the spool being rotatable to take up and pay out at least some of the web, and a web deflector mounted to at least one of the first side wall, the second sidewall and the bottom wall and positioned between the spool and the opening, the web deflector configured to guide the web from the spool out of the web retractor through the opening and to guide the web into the retractor and to the spool through the opening.
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT LATTICE STRUCTURE CRADLE ASSEMBLY
A system and method for transporting crane booms is provided. The system generally comprises end units and interior units having bolster assemblies and cradles. The bolster assembly preferably comprises a shipping cradle and crane boom. The shipping cradle comprises an upper cradle and lower cradle, wherein contoured spaces of said upper cradle and lower cradle are designed to fit a lattice structure of a crane boom. Attachment holes allow for attachment elements to secure the upper cradle to the lower cradle, thus removably securing the shipping cradle to the crane boom. Alternatively, the shipping cradle may be permanently attached to the lattice structure. The shipping cradle may also be removably secured to a flatbed, allowing the crane boom to be securely transported over long distances via said flatbed.
