The multi-compartment cooler includes two cylindrical, thermally insulated containers stacked on top of each other and mounted on a wheeled platform having a telescoping handle. The lower compartment has a spigot for dispensing hot or cold beverages stored in the compartment, and the upper compartment is adapted for storing a transporting packaged foods, such as salads, sandwiches, cold cuts, etc. The cover of the upper compartment may include a hinged lid incorporating a power bank and inductive charging pad for charging the batteries of cell phones, smart watches, tablets, and other electronic devices. The upper and lower compartments may be releasably latched together during transport. The wheeled platform may have two rear wheels and a front caster, or a rigid front cradle.

A mortuary human removal system with battery powered stairclimbing capability is disclosed having a mortuary body glide board, riveted to a top side of a commercially available battery powered stairclimbing hand truck. A multi-stage two wheeled prop stand is coupled to an opposing side of the hand truck longitudinal rails, which is designed to create two automatically latching positions of separation between the wheels and the hand truck rail. The shorter separation is used as an aid to safely lifting a human body on the mortuary human removal system to a first height above the ground. The second position is at a predetermined height for use as a fulcrum to tipping the foot end up and into an ambulance, hearse or other vehicle and be automatically folded up as the mortuary human removal system is pushed all the way into the vehicle.

The present invention provides apparatus for transporting materials, preferably large flat objects such as panes of glass, wood panels, paintings, and the like. The preferred embodiment includes a frame, an axle assembly, wheels, and a steering means, the steering means including track rods, a controlling means for controlling the steering means, the controlling means being pivotable about pivot points on the track rods. Preferably, the apparatus includes a tray or base plate for holding the materials being transported. Preferably, the controlling means is a tiller engageable with the pivot points. Preferably, the apparatus includes a handle for directing the frame. Preferably, the steering means includes a rotating bar. Preferably, the rotating bar engages a track rod. Preferably, the apparatus includes a motor for propulsion. Most preferably, the motor is electric, powered by a battery, particularly a rechargeable battery.

A hand truck includes a base that is able to roll along the ground underlying the base and a push handle coupled to the base. A pivotable toe plate is coupled to a lower end of the base.

The disclosure provides a wheeled container assembly (10) and a handle assembly (20) for a container, the handle assembly comprising a pair of pa ra Nelly disposed leg members (24, 26), each leg member comprising a first leg segment (32) articulable to the container, a second leg segment (34) telescopically displaceable with respect to said first leg segment, and a third leg segment (36) telescopically displaceable with respect to said second leg segment; a bridge member (40) rigidly extending between an upper portion the first leg segments, and a manipulating handle (42) rigidly extending between a top portion of the third leg segments; the leg members are configurable between a locked extended position and a locked retracted position; a primary locking mechanism (120); and a secondary locking mechanism (50); and wherein retracting the third leg segment into the second leg segment is facilitated after retraction of the second leg segment into the first leg segment.

According to some embodiments, there is provided a wheel storage apparatus comprising a frame having a loading platform, a wheel supporting platform and a handle section. When the wheel storage apparatus is in a first orientation, the loading platform is generally parallel with and at a loading height from a loading surface and configured to cradle a plurality of wheels about a circumferential portion of each wheel. The wheel supporting platform is coupled to a first end of the loading platform and configured to support the wheels in a stacked configuration when the wheel storage apparatus is in a second orientation. The wheel storage apparatus is configured to rotate from the first orientation to the storage orientation about a pivot axis proximate the first end of the loading platform. Kits for wheel storage apparatus are also described.
