A crane for lifting and transporting loads includes a handling element, for supporting and handling the loads, and a chassis for transferring the loads of the crane onto a support surface by a contact arranged in contact with the surface, such as wheels. A drive transmission, such as a drive wheel, moves the crane on the support surface. The drive transmission is capable of translating relative to the chassis to adjust the force exerted by the drive transmission upon the support surface. The crane includes a sensor for detecting the force exerted by the drive transmission upon the support surface; and a control unit configured for adjusting the position of the drive transmission relative to the chassis, based on the detection of the sensor.

The disclosure provides a folding handle, a folding device, a child stroller seat, and a child stroller. The folding handle includes: a handle body including a pulling part and a shaft part located at an end of the pulling part; a handle connecting member being fixable on the child stroller seat, and the handle body is pivotally connected to the handle connecting member via the shaft part; and an elastic member configured to force the handle body to pivot toward a closed position. The folding handle according to the disclosure can be automatically closed after the child stroller seat is folded, such that the folded child stroller is more neat and aesthetic, and potential dangers are avoided.

Collapsible indoor and outdoor containers having a collapsible wall section with shape-retaining characteristics are disclosed. In particular, collapsible coolers, fish bins, and wheeled vertical bins are provided. The collapsible wall section may include foldable tiers of a flexible material, each tier having at least one stable, relatively expanded position and at least one stable, relatively collapsed position; and an intervening, non-folding tier composed of a different, relatively stiff or rigid material. The coolers, fish bins, and wheeled vertical bins are each advantageously provided with a collapsible insert container that nests within and collapses together with a shell of the respective container, the respective wall folds of the shell and insert meshing together to result in a combined collapsed vertical dimension as small or nearly as small as that of the collapsed shell alone.

Disclosed herein are hand trucks for installing and removing water heaters. The disclosed water heater hand trucks enable a single person to lift the water heater onto a platform and to keep the water heater above the water heater pan during installation and removal. The disclosed hand trucks generally include a main platform and a wheel frame. A water heater is strapped to the main platform which has curved legs at the bottom with rubber landing feet. This design is used to keep the water heater above a water heater pan while lifting the water heater into position. This avoids crushing the pan with the water heater. The handles at the upper section of the main platform have adjustable positions. These handles can be opened up to an outward position to provide leverage, which can be advantageous when access to the platform is limited from a frontal approach.

Disclosed is a four-wheeled folding handcart, including: a main body; and a loading plate provided with at least one loading plate wheel unit at a lower portion thereof, connected to the main body via a hinge unit such that the loading plate is folded by the hinge unit while being rotated toward the main body, and loading an article thereon. The loading plate wheel unit is connected to a wheel rod rotated by the rotation of the hinge unit in a direction perpendicular to a rotational direction of the hinge unit. The loading plate wheel unit is configured such that, when the loading plate is rotated and folded, the loading plate wheel unit is rotated and folded as the wheel rod rotates, and when the loading plate is rotated and unfolded, the loading plate wheel unit is rotated and unfolded as the wheel rod rotates reversely.

The shopping cart of the present disclosure may be used to carry and transport goods. The cart includes a basket and a chassis wherein the chassis includes legs rotatable from an open position to a closed position. The basket is rotatably affixed to the chassis such that the cart may be placed in a vehicle trunk while the basket maintains a horizontal position.

The present invention relates to a cart (1) for use as a bicycle trailer (1) or as a handcart (1) with a frame (10) with a pair of wheels (13) and with a loading surface (14) and with a foldable drawbar (3) with a drawbar body (33) which is designed to be connected to a bicycle in a first position and to be guided by a user's hand in a second position. The cart (1) is characterized in that the foldable drawbar (3) has a drawbar holder (30) arranged on the frame (10), the drawbar holder (30) being designed with the drawbar body (33) in the first position and in the second position.

The present invention also relates to a cart (1) for use as a bicycle trailer (1) or as a handcart (1) with a frame (10) with a pair of wheels (13) and with a loading surface (14) and with a fold-out stand (2). The cart (1) is characterized in that the fold-out stand (2) has a stand holder (20) which is arranged on the frame (10) and a stand element (24) which is held in a foldable manner by the stand holder (20), the stand holder (20) having a recess (21) within which the stand element (24) can be hinged between a folded state and an unfolded state.

A light weight, easy to maneuver general use utility cart that may be operated in a the forward push configuration wherein four wheels contact the ground and the cart may be pushed ahead of an operator or may be alternatively operated in a two-wheel dolly configuration wherein the cart may be pushed or pulled and easily maneuvered through tighter spaces and up/down stairs. Further, the cart of the present disclosure may be folded or collapsed into a compact configuration for easy storage utilizing minimal space.

The loading plate wheel unit is connected to a wheel rod rotated by the rotation of the hinge unit in a direction perpendicular to a rotational direction of the hinge unit. The loading plate wheel unit is configured such that, when the loading plate is rotated and folded, the loading plate wheel unit is rotated and folded as the wheel rod rotates, and when the loading plate is rotated and unfolded, the loading plate wheel unit is rotated and unfolded as the wheel rod rotates reversely.

A positionable handle device for use with a wheelchair comprises a first member attachable to an existing handle of the wheelchair, a second member pivotally connected to the first member and, a locking mechanism to lock the second member in either a first upwardly extending position or a second downwardly extending position. The locking mechanism comprises a first tenon extending from the first member, a second tenon extending from the second member, and a slidable mortise into which the first and second tenons dispose. The mortise contains a first aperture extending therethrough and a second aperture at least partially extending inward from a lower portion of one side containing the second tenon. The mortise is positionable between a lowered and raised position. When in the lowered position, the mortise locks the tenons in place. When in the raised position, the mortise permits the second tenon to pivot.
