The present invention provides a vehicle leveling device with an upper arcuate support presenting a substantially planar surface and a lower support with an arcuate groove configured for rotational receipt of the upper arcuate support opposite the substantially planar surface, a rotational axis aligned with the arcuate groove and extending between a front and a rear associated with the upper arcuate support and parallel to the substantially planar surface; the upper arcuate support configured for rotation about the rotational axis.

ROTATING CONTAINER DUMPER
20220242684 · 2022-08-04 ·

A rotating container dumper includes a bin assembly having at least one opening configured to receive a container, a frame that is configured to receive the bin assembly, and a linkage system that is operably coupled to the frame and the bin assembly. The linkage system is configured to rotate the bin assembly between a home position and a deployed position. In the home position, the bin assembly is disposed within the frame and a first opening of the at least one opening is positioned at a top of the bin assembly. In the deployed position, the bin assembly is disposed outside of the frame and the first opening of the at least one opening is positioned at a bottom of the bin assembly.

DEF Tank Hydraulic Jack Adapter Plate
20220315401 · 2022-10-06 ·

The present invention relates generally to a DEF tank hydraulic jack adapter plate. The adapter can be fixedly or removably attached to the top surface of an existing hydraulic jack such that the jack can be used to remove or replace a DEF tank from a diesel vehicle. Accordingly, the adapter secures a tank to the plate body of the adapter via a plurality of frame arms which attach to the vertical plates of the plate body. The adapter ensures the tank is retained upon the adapter and subsequently on the jack.

Vehicle jacking assembly
11434116 · 2022-09-06 ·

A vehicle jacking assembly for raising a vehicle includes a plurality of cylinders, each of which is configured to couple to a frame of a vehicle proximate to a respective wheel of the vehicle. The cylinder comprises a plurality of nested sections so that the cylinder is selectively extensible. An actuator that is coupled to the vehicle is operationally coupled to the plurality of cylinders and an electrical circuit of the vehicle. The actuator is positioned to selectively actuate the plurality of cylinders to extend the cylinders from the frame of the vehicle so that the cylinders contact a surface. The plurality of cylinders thus is configured to raise the vehicle.

Floor jack lockout assembly

A floor jack locking assembly is presented. The locking assembly may include a locking pin used to mechanically lock out the jack at a specified lift height. The locking assembly may avoid the hydraulic lift cylinder being the only stabilizing component of the jack when supporting a significant load. The locking pin may be coupled to lifting link arms, avoiding the need to have the locking pin inserted into or through the lifting arm of the jack.

BATTERY ASSEMBLY STABILIZATION MECHANISM
20220097535 · 2022-03-31 ·

A mechanical stabilization system for a battery assembly is disclosed. The system includes an actuator and a stabilizer that are configured to work in concert. The actuator and stabilizer are disposed in a housing of the battery assembly. The system may be implemented by depression of the actuator disposed in the housing, which causes the stabilizer to retract a support post into the housing. The depression can occur during a docking operation of the battery assembly with a lift mechanism for an electric vehicle. When the actuator is released, the support post automatically reverts to its previous, deployed state. The support post is configured to maintain the battery assembly in a stable configuration when the battery assembly is separated from the electric vehicle.
