There is provided a foldable motorized cart having at least a first and a second connected section, each of the sections connected with a hinge and pivotable with respect to each other and further including a compartment hingedly connected to either one of the sections, with the compartment having a bottom floor, side walls and a top cover surface, and also having an internal space for containing, a motor drive system, a drive controller and a battery. The battery and drive controller are electrically connected to the motor drive system which is mechanically linked to at least one of a drive wheel or a drive track mechanism for propelling the motorized cart, where the motor drive system is located within the drive track mechanism.

A working machine has a frame, a ground engaging propulsion system, a drive arrangement for providing motive power to the ground engaging propulsion system, an operator platform pivotally connected to the frame and moveable between a deployed position for supporting an operator thereon and a stowed position; and a sensor arrangement configured to sense when an external force is applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed position. The machine prevents movement of the ground engaging propulsion system when the sensor arrangement does not sense an external force applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed positon.

An improved hand truck having a stair navigator and brake system. The system includes a stair track, or stair navigator, having improved features allowing for the hand truck to navigate stairs more easily. The stair track is in connection with a brake, particularly a hydraulic brake system, allowing the user to stop movement of the belt of the stair climber while in use. The hand truck is an improved hand truck having an improved stair track, a brake system and a mechanism allowing for deployment and latching.

A sewer cleaning machine including a rotatable drum, a cable positioned at least partially within the drum, the cable configured to be extended from and retracted into the drum along a cable axis, a motor coupled to the drum, the motor operable to rotate the drum, and a cable feed mechanism including a plurality of bearings arranged concentrically around the cable, the plurality of bearings configured to selectively engage the cable to feed the cable in a first linear direction along the cable axis, a cam ring including a plurality of cam surfaces, each of the plurality of cam surfaces engageable with a corresponding one of the plurality of bearings, and a handle configured to rotate the cam ring about the cable axis to move the plurality of cam surfaces into engagement with the first plurality of bearings.

Provided are a multi-functional perambulator, a multi-functional cradle bed, a multi-functional infanette and a multi-functional baby carriage, wherein same are all mounted with spring clamping slots (80, 3319). Also provided is a novel multi-wheel walking device. Further provided are a smart wrist band and a smart watch, wherein both of same have a real-time payment system, may be used for a user of a perambulator, a cradle bed, a multi-functional infanette and a multi-functional baby carriage to make a payment when shopping in various supermarkets, facilitates shopping for the user, and satisfies the requirements of the user.

A hand truck having a plurality of hingeably engaged sides that is expandable from a closed position dimensioned to fit through a standard doorway, to an open position to form a movable platform having a swing out support frame having an upper end hingedly attached to the rear side of the center frame which is movable between an extended position and a stored position. A corresponding sofa dolly and a platform enclosure is also disclosed.

A powered lift hand truck with a corresponding method of operation and control. The apparatus includes a powered lift hand truck configured to lift a load from a lowered to a raised position (and vice versa). The system uses the rotational speed to measure linear speed and enforce a consistent speed of the load. The system is programmed to lift/lower loads at the same speed, regardless of load overall weight. If, for example, the load is heavy, the system determines that the speed is below a predetermined threshold and increases the power so as to increase speed.

A load wheel assembly for an elongate fork of a forked material-handling vehicle with a chassis employs a forward load wheel, a rear load wheel, and means for coupling torque between the forward load wheel and the rear load wheel to overcome obstacles on a surface, such as a floor.

The present invention discloses a load-carrying device such as a suitcase, a carry-bag and a hand truck, which can ascend and descend stairs without changing the position of the person relative to the device. The load-carrying device is constructed with a main frame which defines a main plane of the device, at least two main wheels, and a support frame which can swing out of the main plane. The support frame is equipped with a caterpillar mechanism and optional bottom wheels. When ascending stairs, the support frame is pushed against the main frame by the edge of the stairs and the caterpillar with a ratchet mechanism helps slide the load-carrying device upward. When descending stairs, the support frame swings down toward the lower step before the main wheels go off the upper step so that the support frame enables soft-landing of the main wheels.

A tactical transport cart manually navigable over both topographic and hydrographic terrains has a frame, a payload support on the frame, a hard point of attachment or connection on the frame or the payload support, a pair of wheels or other terrain-engaging transport propulsion members attached to the frame, a handle structure attached to the frame, at least one motor connected in driving relation to the transport propulsion members, a battery for providing motive power to the motor, and a control device connected between the battery and the motor for controlling supply of motive power to the motor. The frame, transport propulsion members and handle structure are cooperatively dimensioned and configured for movement of the cart over ground surfaces of topographic terrains and for partially and fully submerged movement over water-covered surfaces of hydrographic terrains.
