An apparatus for hoisting and forwarding of logs enables the forwarding of logs along an axis towards a processing area. The apparatus is adjustable in height either due to various configuration of ground or to various heights of processing area in various wood processing machines, and is comfortable both for each user as well as for manufacturers and distributors. The apparatus is also easy to transport to any desired locations by using a tractor. To this aim, supporting legs on the apparatus are telescopic and connected a bearing framework, with a movable part engaging the ground. Bearing members on a hoisting unit are telescopic and embedded in the bearing framework, with a displaceable part engaging the ground. The bearing framework may be provided on its side and faced away from the hoisting unit, as well as furnished with a coupling member for connecting the apparatus to a tractor.

A guard assembly can be positionable in an installed position between a first roller and a second roller of a roller conveyor system. The guard assembly can include a first frame having a first contour shaped for receiving at least a portion of the first roller. The guard assembly can further include a second frame having a second contour shaped for receiving at least a portion of the second roller. The guard assembly can also include a biaser between the first frame and the second frame so as to urge the first frame toward the first roller and the second frame toward the second roller in the installed position.

A lift gate apparatus includes a movable conveyor device and a bracket. The movable conveyor device is configured to transition between a conveying position and a non-conveying position. The bracket configured to bridge a gap between the movable conveyor device and a fixed conveyor device, wherein the bracket pivots and slides over the fixed conveyor device when the movable conveyor device is transitioned from the conveying position to the non-conveying position.

A roller conveyor system for conveying material may include a frame and roller conveyors arranged on the frame. The roller conveyor system is configurable in an operating state and in a maintenance state. At least one of the roller conveyors is arranged in an operating position in the operating state and in a maintenance position that is different from the operating position in the maintenance state. In the maintenance position, a region is then advantageously freed up, which can be used to perform maintenance. In addition, a method for transferring such a roller conveyor system from an operating state into a maintenance state may involve transferring one of the roller conveyors from the operating position into a maintenance position different from the operating position.

A roller track includes a base, parallel guides, roller support bars placed into their respective guides, and a plurality of rollers removably disposed between the roller support bars. The roller support bars preferably are removably secured to the base via the respective guides which are affixed to the base. The base also can be provided with connecting elements sidewalls thereof such that a plurality of bases of roller tracks can be connected laterally to accommodate any width of shelf or display planogram. Thus, the roller tracks can be used either separately roller tracks or as a continuous mat (i.e. a plurality of roller tracks affixed to adjacent roller tracks). Additionally, dividers can be removably affixed to each roller track via securing members comprising an upper body portion formed via a living hinge and at least one lower connector that removably connects the securing member to the roller track.

A system has a telescopic conveyor 20 and at least one guiding element 40. The at least one guiding element 40 may be fixed at a location by means of securing components 43. The telescopic conveyor 20 can be moved in or counter to the conveying direction of the telescopic conveyor 20 from a parking position into an operating position, with the telescopic conveyor 20 being guided by the at least one guiding element 40, in order to allow operation of the telescopic conveyor 20. The telescopic conveyor 20 can be moved in or counter to the conveying direction of the telescopic conveyor 20, with the telescopic conveyor 20 being guided by the at least one guiding element 40, from an operating position into a parking position in order to clear a space which is occupied by the telescopic conveyor 20 in the operating position.
