The dolly puller includes caster wheels, a handle, and at least one projecting portion configured to mateably couple with recessed portions on the underside of the pallet dolly in order that the pallet dolly may be moved and readily re-positioned even in confined spaces.

A dolly for supporting a tyre of a motorcycle or motor scooter off the ground is provided. The dolly comprises: axially aligned wheels supported by a frame which has a frame part forward of the wheels and a frame part behind the wheels, the forward frame part having an open end being such that the motorcycle or motor scooter tyre can locate in the open end, at least one tyre gripping member on the forward frame part and adapted to wedge the tyre when the forward frame part is lifted and release the tyre when the forward frame part is lowered, and a wheel on the frame part behind the wheels.

A portable powered roller assembly configured to impart a motive force to a wheeled vehicle or structure consists of a roller mounted in a rolling support structure. The roller is rotationally driven by a battery-powered drive unit coupled through a torque multiplying transmission, and is configured for engagement with the circumferential surface of a vehicle wheel. Rotational movement of the roller in engagement with the circumferential surface of the vehicle wheel draws the powered roller assembly towards, and under, the curved circumferential surface of the vehicle wheel, imparting a force to the vehicle wheel which include both a lifting force perpendicular to the supporting surface on which the powered roller is resting, and a motive force parallel to the surface.

An apparatus, a system, and a method are for facilitating movement of an object. The apparatus has a bearing body provided with an engagement means; a wheel operatively connected to the bearing body via an arm that has a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion of the arm is rotatably connected to the bearing body; and a driving device that is directly or indirectly operatively connected to the bearing body and a portion of the arm that is at a distance from the first end portion of the arm, wherein the driving device is configured to rotate the arm and the wheel relative to the bearing body between a passive first position and an active second position. The engagement means of the bearing body is in the form of at least one protrusion arranged to be inserted into a forklift pocket arranged at a bottom portion of the object.

Systems and methods are provided for a swing arm dolly. A swing arm dolly can comprise a swing arm mounted on a frame. A lever and locking mechanism can lock the swing arm to the frame. One or more wheels can extend downward from the swing arm.

A cart enabling a single person to pull a livestock chute across the ground. The cart includes a bar having a handle and wheels provided at opposing ends. The bar includes first and second members pivotally engaged together. A crossbar pivotally mounted on the bar includes first and second arms configured to engage handles on a lower front end of the chute. When the bar is in a collapsed position, where the first and second members are disposed at an angle to each other, the first and second arms are insertable into the chute handles. When the bar is moved to an erected position, where the first and second members are aligned along the same plane, a force is applied to a footrest on the bar. The arms lift the front end of the chute off the ground and the cart's wheels move under the front end of the chute.

A low-profile motorcycle dolly comprises a pair of parallel rods and at least one motorcycle wheel support assembly. The motorcycle wheel support assembly comprises a pair of caster subassemblies and a motorcycle wheel plate. Each caster subassembly attaches to one of the rods respectively. Each caster subassembly comprises a caster bracket. The caster bracket attaches to the respective rod and is provided with a pedal assembly. The motorcycle wheel plate is connected between the caster brackets of the pair of caster subassemblies. The pedal assembly comprises a pedal and a pedal shaft. Each caster subassembly further comprises a caster mounting plate pivotably mounted onto the caster bracket. The caster mounting plate comprises at least one caster wheel. The pedal is configured to be operated to rotate downward to push down the caster mounting plate, and upward to allow the caster mounting plate to be lifted.

A lift and extraction system for an automatic swimming pool cleaner may facilitate removal from the of the automatic swimming pool cleaner from a swimming pool, deployment of the automatic swimming pool cleaner into a swimming pool, and/or storage of the automatic swimming pool cleaner outside of the swimming pool. The lift and extraction systems may include a frame, motive elements, and one or more engagement features for selectively engaging and positioning the automatic swimming pool cleaner relative to the frame.

A quick-connect gravity assisted adapter system is described. A quick connect plate and receiver can be shaped and oriented to allow for quick coupling and decoupling of a lower support and moveable carriage to each other. The weight of the moveable carriage can rest on the connection surfaces between the plate and receiver and can provide for snug coupling with few or no fasteners used to make or maintain the connection between the lower support and the moveable carriage.
