11597453 · 2023-03-07 ·

The powered hand truck and dolly system for ISO (International Organization for Standardization) containers is a system for moving ISO containers. The system includes at least one dolly and a powered hand truck. The hand truck includes two booms that are vertical for storage and rotate into a horizontal position for engaging the container. The ends of the booms have shafts with cams for engaging standard twist lock connector receptacles on one end of the container. Each dolly also has a shaft with a cam for engaging a standard twist lock connector receptacle on the other end of the container. The dollies include bars that are vertical for storage and rotate into a horizontal position for connecting the dollies to one another such that their shafts are appropriately positioned to align with their associated connector.

Provided is a work vehicle capable of satisfying a user's demand to brake performance in a flexible manner. A wheel loader 1 comprises a controller 5 storing a plurality of control characteristics each of which is set such that a brake valve control pressure Pi of a solenoid proportional valve 45 increases as a pedal angle θ of a brake pedal 43 increases, and under the condition where a pedal angle θ is equal to or less than a predetermined pedal angle θ, an increase rate of the brake valve control pressure Pi with respect to the pedal angle θ varies. In a case where the pedal angle θ detected by a potentiometer 33 is equal to or less than the predetermined pedal angle θth, the controller 5, calculates the brake valve control pressure Pi based on the selected one control characteristic.
