An apparatus comprising a chassis, a mast movably coupled with the chassis, a first actuator operable to pivot the mast with respect to the chassis along a substantially vertical plane, and a second actuator operable to move the mast in a lateral direction with respect to the chassis along a substantially horizontal plane. The mast may support an oilfield material container. By pivoting the mast, the first actuator may be operable to pivot the oilfield material container with respect to the chassis along a substantially vertical plane. By moving the mast, the second actuator may be operable move the oilfield material container in a lateral direction with respect to the chassis along a substantially horizontal plane.

A device and method for moving tilt frame and transfer bed portions of a cargo transfer system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention may include a table and a pin secured to the transfer bed. The table may pivot on a horizontal axis allowing the transfer bed to be placed in a horizontal orientation during inclination of the tilt frame. The table may also pivot on a vertical axis so that the transfer bed may swing side-to-side, and may also pivot on a z-axis enabling the transfer bed to roll side-to-side relative to the table. An adjustable carriage with independently movable stabilizer legs may be used to level the transfer bed on uneven ground. The tilt frame may also include an extendable boom and a retractable roller system to facilitate loading and unloading of material such as flat rack platforms and pallets.

A loading platform for a wheeled vehicle. The loading platform comprises a frame extending along a longitudinal axis. The frame comprises an elongated central shell having two spaced-apart elongated beams with an upper end and an elongated central plate secured to and connecting the upper ends of the spaced-apart elongated beams. The frame also comprises cross bracing assemblies extending on opposed sides of the elongated central shell, each one of the cross bracing assemblies including a plurality of intersecting bracing plates secured at a proximal end to a respective one of the elongated beams of the central shell.

A 240 degrees radially rotatable deck assembly rotatable in either direction without requiring resetting in a park position and requiring only a rotatable outer ring of a slew gear connected to a rotatable sub-frame attached to the deck, a fixed inner ring of the slew gear affixed to a fixed sub-frame fixed to a frame of the assembly and only a single hydraulic motor requiring no cylinders and only one main valve body with incorporated electric solenoids reducing the complexity of the plumbing and the weight of the assembly resulting in lower construction and maintenance costs, improved fuel economy and allowing an increased load weight. The assembly includes a positive holding brake that eliminates blow-by of the rotating section and is rotatable in either direction without requiring being reset in a park position. Such a deck is especially useful on a tow truck.

A vehicle storage and loading system functions to load and unload an object or objects into and out of a vehicle cargo area, such as a trunk or truck bed, while also functioning to secure the object or objects during transport. A base frame rests in a vehicle cargo area and has sliding supports that move between a stored position and an extended position relative the vehicle cargo area. A cradle is supported by the sliding supports and holds an object, such as sporting or camping equipment. A loading hinge is attached between the cradle and the sliding supports. With the sliding supports in the extended position, the cradle pivots about the loading hinge from a holding position that is relatively flat or horizontal to a loading position that is upright or angled relative the holding position.

A hay transporting trailer assembly includes a trailer that has a gooseneck hitch, a frame and a plurality of wheels rotatably attached to the frame to roll along a support surface. A bed is mounted to angle downwardly on the frame and the bed has a fixed portion and a tiltable portion. A rack is rollably disposed on the bed and the rack is rollable between a home position and a loading position. The rack is positioned on the tiltable portion of the bed when the rack is in the loading position to facilitate hay to be loaded onto the rack. The rack is positioned on the fixed portion of the bed when the rack is in the home position to transport the hay. A tilting unit is disposed on the trailer for urging the tiltable portion of the bed between the deployed position and the stored position.
