A transport vehicle includes a first support surface and two opposite guiding surfaces that are oriented towards each other to guide a container that is placed onto the transport vehicle in the direction of the first support surface, with the first support surface located between the guiding surfaces, and with a lifting platform arranged between the guiding surfaces. An adapter that is movable between a standby and an operating position such that a container placed onto the vehicle is guided onto the first support surface when the adapter is in the standby position and the lifting platform is down in a transporting position, while the container is guided onto a second support surface formed by the lifting platform when the adapter is placed on the transport vehicle in the operating position of the adapter and when the lifting platform is placed on the transport vehicle via the adapter.

Loading and unloading device configured for connection to a truck or a trailer of truck, having a main support frame, a support frame supported in a position adjustable by the main frame and a cradle supported in a position adjustable by the main frame and defining with it a goods storage compartment, and means for handling the secondary frame and the cradle with respect to the main frame along one or more directions of second axes X, Y, Z which are orthogonal to modify the configuration of the compartment.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for engaging, lifting, and moving objects such as wheeled cargo trailers are provided. In one embodiment, a mobile apparatus includes a transport mechanism, a frame, and one or more lift assemblies. The lift assemblies may be adjusted using one or more attached actuators that position the lift assemblies and/or components thereof for engaging and lifting an object. The transport mechanism may be autonomously operated. A vision system may be used to locate and identify objects and/or guide the mobile apparatus into position to engage and lift the objects. An adapter for a pneumatic braking system of a wheeled cargo trailer is also provided. The adapter provides a pneumatic attachment for a pressurized air source that is separate from a glad hands connector attached to the braking system.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for loading and unloading an LNG tank container, the apparatus comprising: a base provided at a place at which LNG is used; a transfer cart capable of moving back and forth with respect to the base; a clamping device provided at a head part of the transfer cart; and a clamp position adjusting device capable of adjusting a horizontal position of the clamping device. Since there is no transfer of the LNG between tanks, the amount of LNG loss is reduced and the risk for the occurrence of a fire accident is reduced.

A mobile fulfillment system includes a shipper system that collects and manages customer information and order data input from customers; a fulfillment platform that receives the customer information and order data from the shipper system and controls vehicle control and dispatch accordingly; and a mobile fulfillment center that includes a plurality of vehicles dispatched from the fulfillment platform and delivers products to customers and monitors delivery status according to the customer information and order data.

Systemized controls, apparatus, and mechanisms for unloading or loading portable buildings or equipment with respect to a flatbed trailer or an open, flat hauling platform are provided by a load management system. Loads such as prefabricated sheds are loaded safely without damage onto a trailer for hauling to from locations which may have hostile terrain in the vicinity of pick-up or final placement. The load management system provides a series of powered continuous tracks and lifting devices used to extend the load management system to the ground and lift the trailer until its wheels lose contact with the ground. The load management system uses powered continuous tracks to move the trailer over potentially hostile terrain to an unloading location. Conversely, the load management system can be used for loading a shed for secondary moving or repossession. During transit the load management system remains locked into a retracted safe configuration.

The present invention relates to an automobile chassis for carrying an automobile body and various specially-equipped devices as loads, and more specifically to an automobile chassis for carrying an automobile body and various specially-equipped devices as loads, which is configured to enable various types of cargo boxes (load sides) intended to carry cargos or people and various types of special equipment designed to be suitable for the transportation of a special cargo or a special purpose to be conveniently and replaceably loaded, and thus enables a single chassis to be used for various purposes, thereby improving cost reduction, convenience functionality, and maintenance, and which, in particular, provides excellent coupling force and also allows a coupling location to be varied according to the type or center of gravity of a load, thereby enabling stable loading.

A trailer has a main frame with a neck portion on its forward end. A pivot fifth wheel is rotatably affixed to the forward end of the neck portion. The pivot fifth wheel releasably attaches to the fifth wheel of a towing vehicle. An axle frame is rotatably affixed to the rearward end of the main frame, and rotates with respect to the main frame. The pivot fifth wheel and the axle frame are configured to pivot and move the main frame upwardly a vertical distance.

Systems and methods for loading a container onto a container carrier comprising, lowering a set of rails of the container carrier from a raised position to a lowered position, wherein a horizontal surface of each of the set of rails is lower than the bottom surface of the container, expanding, horizontally, the set of rails, to an expanded position, moving at least one of the container carrier or the container so that the container is between the set of rails, contracting, horizontally, the set of rails, to a contracted position, such that the horizontal surface of each of the set of rails is directly underneath the bottom surface of the container and raising the set of rails from the lowered position to the raised position, such that the horizontal surface of each of the set of rails lift the container off the supports.

A self-propelled slag transporter, The self-propelled slag transporter includes a drive, a chassis, a lifting device with at least one lifting drive and a receiving device for receiving a metallurgical transport container, in particular a slag container, wherein the receiving device is designed to be height-adjustable by the lifting device, and wherein the chassis has at least two crawler tracks.
