Embodiments are directed to an expandable shelter. The expandable shelter may include a slide box, a skirt, and a winch. The skirt may be slidably coupled to the slide box, with the skirt being vertically slidable relative to the slide box. The winch may raise and lower the skirt relative to the slide box.

A construction machine is provided that has an operating platform, an access for entering the operating platform, a roof and an access control. The roof is disposed on a height-adjustable rack structure that can be actuated manually or by means of a drive in order to set the roof from an upper operating position to a lower transport position and vice versa. In this process, the access protection is moved from a storage position to a functional position in which the access to the operating platform is blocked by the access control.

A modular roll down airflow control apparatus for use in typically refrigerated and insulated truck or transport vehicle boxes. The modular roll down airflow control apparatus includes a curtain assembly, a mandrel assembly (upon which the curtain assembly may be wound under spring bias), a pair of brackets (coupled to a wall near a ceiling of a truck box or cargo compartment that support the mandrel assembly), locking brackets (coupled to a wall near a floor of a truck box or cargo compartment that hold the curtain assembly down by engaging rods disposed in the curtain at intervals), and a plurality of edging seals (that may be coupled to the side walls of the cargo compartment and the curtain edges press against to form a seal). Air pressure in the cargo box typically acts to advantageously press the curtain edges against the edging seals forming a seal to prevent the escape of cold air and maintain a refrigerated space in the cargo compartment.

Embodiments are directed to an expandable shelter. The shelter may include a main box, a slide box, and a skirt. The main box may have a side opening. The slide box may be slidably coupled to the main box, with the slide box being slidable at least partially through the side opening of the main box. The skirt may be slidably coupled to the slide box, with the skirt being vertically slidable relative to the slide box.

A door strap system includes a trailer that may contain cargo. The trailer has an outer wall and a rear side and the rear side is open to access an interior of the trailer. A door is slidably coupled to the trailer and the door is positionable between an open position and a closed position. A lift truck is selectively driven through the rear side of the trailer when the lift truck loads and unloads the trailer. A strap is coupled to the door thereby facilitating the door to be pulled downwardly into the closed position. A retention unit is coupled to the strap and the retention unit selectively engages the outer wall of the trailer such that the lift truck is inhibited from contacting the strap when the lift truck is driven through the rear side.

The invention relates to a goods storage trailer including connection means to allow the trailer to be connected to a tractor unit and a plurality of wheels which allow the trailer to be moved along a surface. The trailer is formed by a base, opposing sidewalls, opposing end walls, a roof and a deck located intermediate the roof and base so as to define two storage areas within the cavity of the trailer. At one of the ends, there is provided a door assembly which is movable between open and closed positions to allow access to the cavity and the base is formed by a plurality of portions at different heights with respect to said support surface and the floor of the base and the upper deck are used to locate goods thereon.

The invention relates to a vehicle (2), in particular a motor vehicle, which is equipped with a tailgate (8) which can be pivoted on the rear of the vehicle (14) by means of a pivoting device (10), around a pivoting axis (12) between a closed position, in which a loading surface (6) of the rear of the vehicle (14) is defined, and an open position in which the loading surface (6) of the rear side is open. In order to pivot the tailgate (8), the pivoting apparatus comprises (10) at least one pivoting arm (22, 22) on which the tailgate (8) can be moved in a translatory manner and can be detachably held in place.

A yard tractor incorporating a fluid cylinder pressurized by fluid from a control valve actuated by a switch accessible from the driver's seat.

A pickup truck tailgate lifting system and apparatus. The system in communication with the tailgate of the truck and located within an interior of the truck bed. The apparatus comprising a motor, a sprocket, a chain, and pins located on opposed ends of the tailgate, wherein the chain engages the tailgate and moves the tailgate from a closed position to an open position. The pins of the apparatus allow for normal operation of the tailgate during non-use of the apparatus.
