An electric transportation cart includes a deck having two first rails located on two sides thereof a base having multiple casters connected to the underside thereof and including two second rails on two sides thereof, a first link assembly and a second link assembly pivotably connected between the deck and the base, and a handle connected to one end of the base. A first bar is slidably connected between the two first rails, and a second bar is connected between the first link assembly and the second link assembly. A hydraulic cylinder is connected between the first bar and the second bar. The travel distance of the hydraulic cylinder is longer than that of the conventional transportation carts. Users operate the control unit to activate the hydraulic cylinder to drive the first and second link assemblies to control the deck to move up and down.

A system and a method for providing an opening for delivering a shipment into a loading space of a vehicle, as well as a corresponding vehicle and a method for delivering a shipment into a vehicle, include a controller arranged and configured to calculate a first length of the opening based on received and/or determined dimensions of the shipment and further based on an area of the opening configured to receive the shipment through the opening in the loading space of the vehicle. An actuator is arranged and configured to move a first element of the vehicle relative to a second element of the vehicle by the calculated first length of the opening in order to provide the exactly necessary opening.

A loader to load cargo onto the bed of a truck includes a frame having a rear roller, and a winch mountable onto the bed of the truck, and a platform having forward and rear wheels depending downwardly from corresponding front and rear ends thereof. The roller may include a cable guide formed circumferentially around the roller. A winch cable is selectively extendable from the winch over the cable guide on the rear roller, and to attach to the front end of the platform when in it's lowered pre-hoisting position. The front end of the platform is hoistable from its pre-hoisting position onto the rear roller where-upon continued winching-in of the cable onto the winch draws the rest of the platform over the rear roller so as to rest on the top of the frame. The platform is then winched to the front of the frame.

Systems, devices, and methods having a liftgate frame; a first bracket mount connected to a beam via one or more upper actuators and two or more upper linkages, the two or more upper linkages pivotally mounted between the first bracket mount and the liftgate frame, and where the first bracket mount is configured to move from a first stowed position under the liftgate frame to a second engage position via the one or more upper actuators and the two or more upper linkages; a second bracket mount connected to the beam; a third bracket mount connected to second bracket mount via one or more lower actuators and two or more lower linkages, the two or more lower linkages pivotally mounted between the second bracket mount and the third bracket mount; and a lift platform connected to the third bracket mount, where the lift platform is configured to move from an up position to a down position positioned selectively relative to an external surface; where the first bracket mount moves in an arcuate path from the first stowed position under the liftgate frame to the second engaged position.

A rear sensing system engaged with a lift system. The rear sensing system includes a first sensing system to display information from the sensing system when the lift system is in the up position and a second sensing system to display information from the sensing system when the lift is in the down position.
