A jack hitch system includes a jack hitch device, including an upper jack hitch assembly with an upper elongated body, left and right pivotable and extendable handlebars, an I-shaped member, a front wheel, a lifting assemblage with a interior lifting assembly, a rotatable handle and an electric engine, and a front mounting piece for connecting to a hitch mount of a vehicle, and a lower jack hitch assembly with a lower elongated body, left and right rear wheels, a rear mounting piece for mounting an accessory object. The system can include a jack hitch platform, including pivotable side panels, pivotable wheels, and a front mounting connector.

This invention provides elevating storage apparatus (10) for storing an article or articles in an elevated position from which the article(s) cannot be vertically lowered because an obstacle obscures the space there beneath. To achieve this the article(s) which are supported on article support means (14) are moved outwardly with the article support means (14) supported by a pair of spaced apart slide assemblies (11, 12) for longitudinal movement between the stowed elevated position above the obscuring obstacle and a withdrawn elevated position forward of the obstacle. The article support means (14) is connected to the slide assemblies (11, 12) by links (52, 53) which enable the article support means to be raised and lowered between substantially vertically aligned withdrawn elevated position and the lower accessible position. Control means (60) is provided for selectively raising and lowering the article support means (14) relative to the slide assemblies (11, 12) and for moving the article support means to and from its stowed elevated position.

A delivery robot control apparatus for controlling a delivery robot to unload an object and a method thereof are disclosed. A camera is provided in the delivery robot having an internal loading space for one or more floors and obtains an image including a door module which is provided in the delivery robot and connected to a frame forming the internal loading space. The controller determines up and low positions of the door module based on the image, and controls a first motor to move the door module to a target position based on the determined up or low position of the door module.

A portable lift device that includes a portable lift column assembly having a lift column including a first end, a second end, and a length there between. The second end of the lift column has at least one column attachment system. The lift column assembly further includes a riser assembly coupled to the lift column and movable with respect to the lift column. The riser assembly includes a riser attachment device. The portable lift device also includes a platform assembly movable with the riser assembly and having a platform structure coupled to at least one platform attachment system. The at least one platform attachment-system selectively engages the riser attachment device to detachably couple the platform assembly with the riser assembly and wherein the platform structure maintains structural integrity under a predetermined load capacity. The platform assembly is movable with the riser assembly.

A luggage loading and unloading apparatus for a vehicle may include an in-wheel motor roller rotating a wheel by driving force of a motor, a slider coupled to a plate for loading luggage, and a link, one side of which is coupled to the in-wheel motor roller while the other side of the link is coupled to the slider, wherein the in-wheel motor roller is driven together with the slider, lifting and dropping the plate.

A fully-electric lift assembly for a refuse vehicle includes a track, a carrier, and a push chain. The track includes multiple channels that extend along an entire length of a path of the track. The carrier is configured to translate along the path of the track. The carrier includes multiple slidable members, each slidable member configured to engage the track at a corresponding one of the channels. The push chain is configured to couple with the carrier at a first end and be driven by an electric motor. The push chain is configured to exert a pushing force on the carrier to drive the carrier to ascend along the track.

The present invention relates to a system (1, 2, 3) for accommodating objects, comprising a guide assembly (1), which can be arranged in a stationary manner, a first motion assembly (2), which is connected to the guide assembly (1) and which can be moved horizontally in the direction of a longitudinal axis (X) in relation to the guide assembly (1), and a second motion assembly (3), which is connected to the first motion assembly (2) and which can be moved vertically in the direction of a vertical axis (Z) in relation to the first motion assembly (2) and can accommodate objects, wherein the first motion assembly (2) can be moved out in the direction of the longitudinal axis (X) so far over the guide assembly (1) that the second motion assembly (3) can be moved in relation to the first motion assembly (2) past the guide assembly (1) in the direction of the vertical axis (Z).

A scooter lift having a wireless remote control that only signals the lift to raise or lower a platform when the remote control is positioned behind the automobile. The remote control only transmit signals if it has a clear line of sight with a transmitter eye located on the back of the control box for the scooter lift. An accelerometer prevents lowering of the platform when it detects motion.

A system including devices and methods for transporting or storing materials uses slidable containers, or modules. The modules have recessed wheels that facilitate sliding movement when placed on tracks. The use of tracks allows for precise placement of the modules in close proximity to each other and the walls of a vessel or facility they are placed in. The modules may be disassembled for easy, compact storage or transport. The modules may be used with a lift platform adapted to accommodate the modules and tracks or rails for engaging the recessed wheels. By using closely aligned tracks, the transport module may be used to maximize efficient use of space when transporting cargo.

A trailer for carrying unit load devices (ULDs), including unloaded and/or loaded containers and pallets, or other cargo; the trailer designed to be towed on surface streets and highways by conventional motorized truck-tractor units. The trailers are equipped with adjustable decks for supporting ULDs in stacked configuration on the trailer. Using a lowered well portion permits selected ULD stacks to not exceed legal trailer height limits so that additional permitting is not required.
