The hoist comprises a base, first and second lower arms, first and second upper arms, and one or more blocking members. The first and second lower arms are pivotally coupled to the base. The first lower arm is pivotally coupled to the first upper arm. The second lower arm is pivotally coupled to the second upper arm. The lower arms and upper arms are adapted to move between an unraised condition to a raised condition. Each of the blocking members is adapted to move between a supporting position and a non-supporting position. Each blocking member, when in the supporting position, prevents the lower arms and upper arms from moving from the raised condition to the unraised condition.

A structurally supportive belly pad is connected to a rounded trailer and configured to support the same near the rear end of the trailer. The belly pad may be arcuately curved complementary to the curvature of the rounded trailer. However, if the belly pad were laid flat, it includes a pair of parallel legs aligned in a generally longitudinal direction with a plurality of transverse ribs extending therebetween. The shape of the belly pad is configured to provide structural support for the trailer which is beneficial especially when the trailer is raised and lowered, typically through hydraulic mechanisms.

A dump body includes: a side plate; a flow path which is provided in the side plate and through which an exhaust gas of an engine flows; an exhaust port of the exhaust gas which is provided in an outer surface of the side plate; and a guide surface which has a first inner end portion and a first outer end portion and is inclined downward toward the first outer end portion, the first inner end portion being connected to an outer surface of the side plate below the exhaust port.

A dump trailer comprising a goose neck adapted for removable coupling to a tractor unit and a dropped frame joined to the goose neck and extending rearwardly of the goose neck. A plurality of trailer wheel and axle assemblies are joined to the bottom of the rear of the dropped frame. Each of the plurality of trailer wheel and axle assemblies has left and right wheels suitable for highway travel. An open bed is joined to the top of the dropped frame for receiving cargo. The open bed extends below the goose neck and has a front and a rear opening for permitting discharge of the cargo from the open bed.

A splash guard for a power buggy bucket. A first bracket member has a first lower end and a first upper end, the first lower end adapted to attach to a bucket interior side wall of a bucket of a power buggy with the first upper end extending upward. A second bracket member has a second lower end and a second upper end, the second lower end adapted to attach to the bucket interior side wall in opposing relation to the first bracket member with the second upper end extending upward. A rod inserts into each bracket member. A non-rigid apron attaches to the rod, wherein the apron partially covers the bucket to deflect the pour.

A center lower frame connection for a space frame comprising an outer lift cylinder connection boss, an inner drop tube connection boss, a center cylinder between the outer lift cylinder connection boss and the inner drop tube connection boss, a suspension connection boss, an outer rearward angular center lower frame tube connection boss, an inner rearward angular center lower frame tube connection boss, a vertical center lower frame tube connection boss, a forward angular center lower frame tube connection boss, an outer forward horizontal center lower frame tube connection boss, and an inner forward horizontal center lower frame tube connection boss. The outer lift cylinder connection boss, the inner drop tube connection boss, and the center cylinder can have a common center axis. The center lower frame connection can also have a rearward angular beam and a forward horizontal beam.

Work equipment configured to unload a collected article from the storage container and resistant to tipping over when unloading the collected article. The work equipment includes a vehicle body; a storage container provided on the vehicle body so as to be moveable between a horizontal position for storing a collected article and an inclined position for unloading the collected article; a drive unit provided between the vehicle body and the storage container and configured to change a container inclination angle defined as an angle of the storage container with respect to the vehicle body; an inclination angle sensor detecting a vehicle body inclination angle defined as an inclination angle of the vehicle body with respect to a horizontal plane; and a control unit configured to control a driving operation of the drive unit according to the vehicle body inclination angle.

The hoist comprises a base, first and second lower arms, first and second upper arms, and one or more blocking members. The first and second lower arms are pivotally coupled to the base. The first lower arm is pivotally coupled to the first upper arm. The second lower arm is pivotally coupled to the second upper arm. The lower arms and upper arms are adapted to move between an unraised condition to a raised condition. Each of the blocking members is adapted to move between a supporting position and a non-supporting position. Each blocking member, when in the supporting position, prevents the lower arms and upper arms from moving from the raised condition to the unraised condition.

A dump body pivotally connected to a subframe mounted on a chassis of a truck. The dump body has a floor and at least one mount connected to an underside of the floor, and the at least one mount defines a channel having an open end. The truck further has a dump body lifting assembly operatively connected between the subframe and the dump body for pivoting the dump body relative to the subframe, the dump body lifting assembly having a connecting member received in the open end of the channel. A method of assembling the dump body to the subframe is also provided.

An article transport vehicle (V) includes: a carriage body (1); and a transfer device (3) that is mounted on the carriage body (1) and is configured to transfer an article. The transfer device (3) includes an article support unit (32); a linking support unit (31) that links the article support unit (32) to the carriage body (1), and a drive unit (D). The linking support unit (31) includes a first shaft support portion (311) that is linked to the carriage body (1) so as to be swingable around a first shaft (A1), the article support unit (32) includes a second shaft support portion (321) that is linked to the linking support unit (31) so as to be swingable around a second shaft (A2), and the drive unit (D) includes a first drive unit (33D) and a second drive unit (34D).
