A travel cooler includes a base and an insulated container with interior space for perishable foods. In an aspect, the travel cooler includes an air pump, and an exterior of the cooler defines a receiving area for retaining the pump. In other aspects, the cooler includes a detachable handle; the base includes a portion that extends beyond the container to define a cargo receiving area; and a retaining member is mounted to the base and configured to move between a retracted position defining the cargo receiving area and a protracted position substantially eliminating the cargo receiving area. Alternatively, the travel cooler includes a bracket removably mounted to the insulated container that defines the cargo receiving area. In more aspects, the container includes an inflatable wall and a valve; and the base is part of a wheeled platform and the container is configured to be selectively coupled to the wheeled platform.

A lifting apparatus, such as may be used with gas cylinders such as welding gas cylinders, comprising a frame (1) and a carriage (3), the carriage being mounted on the frame through a mounting (9), the mounting (9) allowing the carriage (3) to rotate relative to the frame (1) and to slide linearly relative to the frame (1) constrained to a path, the carriage (3) being provided with a loading surface (2, 12, 24) for a load (101). The mounting may comprise a bar (19) typically on the carriage (3) held captive in a track (25) typically on the frame (1).

The top surface of an insert abuts with a form, with a tube extending into an aperture and sliding on a form post in the form. A rod inserted through the form, form post and tube holds the insert in place while castable material is poured in. The form is inverted with the guard rail base inside, the rod can be slid out of the form, and the form is removed. The handle is gripped by a claw on the obtuse angled chassis of a transporter. A handle on the chassis can be pushed to raise the guard rail base and to move the guard rail base on the surface by wheels. The guard rail base can be placed upon a pad having notches in its border.

A weight distribution carrier is provided. The weight distribution carrier includes a cart that has a base and a plurality of wheels, such as a first pair of wheels and a second pair of wheels. Connected to a base of the cart is a jack that can be raised and lowered. In some embodiments, the jack is automated. Mounted to the jack is a coupler that is configured to receive and lock in place a ball of a hitch. The base can include one or more retention units to store sway bars. The weight distribution carrier can be collapsed or folded to allow for easy storage when not in use.

The weight distributing trailer hitch installation and storage dolly is designed to store and transport to and from a tow receiver all, but not limited to, the common weight distributing trailer hitch components listed herethe hitch-head assembly, comprised of the shank and the hitch-head with connecting balls installed, the spring bars, the sway control brake(s), and the spring tension adjusting tool. At the to receiver the weight distributing trailer hitch installation and storage dolly enables the operator to raise or lower the hitch-head assembly with spring bars attached and adjust the horizontal and vertical angles to match those of the hitch receiver of the tow receiver. The shank of the hitch-head assembly can then be inserted and secured into the hitch receiver of the tow receiver. The weight distributing trailer hitch installation and storage dolly can then be released and rolled out of the way. With the tow receiver coupled to the trailer, the spring bars can be tensioned and the sway brake(s) installed. The process is reversed at the other end of the trip. All done safely, easily, and without manually lifting or carrying heavy parts.

A travel cooler, includes a body comprising a base, sidewalls, and a lid connected together to define an interior, insulated containment space for holding cooler items. A lengthwise dimension of the cooler extends between opposite ends of the cooler, and the body defines recessed exterior surface slots extending along a lengthwise extent of the cooler. The cooler further includes a U-shaped handle having two legs connected by a handle portion. The cooler is transitionable between a first configuration, in which the legs of the U-shaped handle extend a substantial length from the body of the cooler, and a second configuration, in which the legs of the U-shaped handle are received within the recessed exterior surface slots extending along a lengthwise extent of the cooler, the handle portion extending in close proximity to an end of the body of the cooler.
