A lifting and moving device, and a method of using the device comprising a frame having a first ground engaging end with at least one wheel for providing a movable first ground engagement and a second ground engaging end with a pointed end for providing a fixed second ground engagement for the frame. A lifting and moving support extending between the first and second ground engaging ends is adjustable in length for providing one or more distances between the first ground engaging end and the second ground engaging end. A lifting device is retractable from a position on the support and the frame is movable about a pivot point provided by the second ground engaging end.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a protection device and/or system that may include a thimble capable of being placed over a transmission line, such as an electrical power cord, to provide protection in the form of cut resistance, abrasion resistance, and/or impact resistance. In some embodiments, a plurality of thimbles can be placed over the transmission line to form an overlapping arrangement to protect a desired length of the transmission line. While each thimble may be rigid, semi-rigid, and/or flexible, the arrangement can maintain flexibility to allow for many degrees of movement of the electrical power cord even as it is cladded in the protection system.

An object is to provide a lifting-magnet attachment magnetic pole unit, a lifting magnet, a steel material conveying method, and a steel plate manufacturing method with which only one or a desired pieces of steel materials can be held. The present invention is a lifting-magnet attachment magnetic pole unit for a lifting magnet used to lift and convey a steel material with magnetic force. The lifting-magnet attachment magnetic pole unit includes a first split magnetic pole that is in contact with an iron core of the lifting magnet and has a branched structure, and a second split magnetic pole that is in contact with a yoke of the lifting magnet and has a branched structure. The first and second split magnetic poles are alternately arranged.

An output shaft of a hydraulic motor is enclosed within a sealed housing and coupled to an input shaft of an electric generator using non-contact couplings. Tool electrical components are electrically coupled to the electric generator. A high pressure hydraulic tool circuit includes a hydraulic tool load and the hydraulic motor of the electric power generation assembly coupleable between a hydraulic boom inlet line and a hydraulic boom return line. Both the hydraulic tool load and the hydraulic motor of the electric power generation assembly can be designed to input hydraulic fluid up to the full rated pressure of the tool. The sealed housing of the hydraulic motor of the electric power generation assembly can be designed to retain hydraulic fluid within the interior up to the full rated pressure of the tool so that no case drain or separate low pressure return line for the hydraulic motor is necessary.

An electromagnetic pallet assembly includes electromagnetic cells coupled to a pallet base, and an electromagnetic pallet frame supported above the pallet base by pillars. A pallet central processing system is configured to control the electromagnetic cells and/or the pallet frame, and can be further configured to control an electromagnetic frame sheet located above the pallet frame. A signal adapter is configured to transmit signal between the central processing system and a remote control device. A method for adjusting pallet position includes selecting electromagnetic pallets, and activating an electromagnetic assembly of a truck bed surface and/or electromagnetic cells of the selected pallets. Polarity and/or strength of the electromagnetic assembly and/or the electromagnetic cells of the selected pallets are adjusted, and the selected pallets are moved.
