A telescoping stabilization strut system generally comprising a fixturing pin system with accidental or inadvertent operation protection for providing stability and support between a bearing surface such as a ground surface and a load such as a vehicle, an aircraft, a machine, or a structure.

Maneuverable ergonomic trailer stands are disclosed. An example portable trailer stand includes: a frame having an upper ledge, a post, and a lower subframe, the lower subframe connected to the upper ledge via the post; an extendible leg coupled to the post independent of the lower subframe, the upper ledge being vertically movable based on movement of the extendible leg relative to the upper ledge, the post, and the lower subframe of the frame; and a wheel connected to the frame via the lower subframe such that the wheel is to move with the upper ledge as the upper ledge is vertically moved.

A system and method for raising a structure, or part thereof, the system comprising vertical jack members connected and disposed about a rail system attached about the periphery of the structure. The vertical jack members comprise an outer sleeve and a slidable inner portion that is driven vertically by a jack screw and drive block. Extensible diagonal cross-braces stabilize the jack members and structure being raised.

Electrical telescopic strut construction, movable between an extended locked position and a retracted unlocked position, comprising: an external cylinder (1); an inner cylinder (2); a screw (3) rotatable disposed within the inner cylinder (2); a drive (4) configured to rotate the screw (3); a nut (5) being movable with respect to the external cylinder (1) responsive to the rotation of the screw (3); at least one segment (6) located in a radial opening of the inner cylinder (2) and movable radially outward and inward in response to the movement of the nut (5) and configured to engage the external cylinder (1) when moved radially outward and not to engage the external cylinder (1) when moved radially inward, a second inner cylinder (7) located external to the first inner cylinder (2) and internal to the external cylinder (1).

A lift for a hitch mounted cargo carrier has a linear actuator having fixed and moveable portion. A drive extends and retracts the moveable portion relative to the fixed portion along an axis of the linear actuator. A hitch mount is secured relative to the fixed portion that is sized to be received by a hitch receiver of a vehicle such that the axis is vertically oriented and the moveable portion extends from a bottom end of the fixed portion. A moveable hitch receiver is secured to a bottom end of the moveable portion, the moveable hitch receiver being positioned such that the receiver traverses the axis. The hitch mount and the moveable hitch receiver extend substantially perpendicularly to the axis and the hitch mount extends substantially anti-parallel to the moveable hitch receiver and on an opposite side of the linear actuator.

Implementations provide a multi-purpose tool that is configurable and reconfigurable to accommodate a wide variety of tasks. For instance, implementations of the multi-purposes tool include a vise mechanism that can be used to secure objects such as workpieces. Further, implementations of the multi-purposes tool include reconfigurable lift mechanisms that can be used to lift objects.
