Fuel trailer
A fuel trailer configured to store and process fuel. The fuel trailer includes a frame with wheels; a fuel tank mounted to the frame, and a fuel system downstream from the fuel tank to move the fuel from the fuel tank. The fuel system can include filters that remove contaminants from the fuel, pumps to move the fuel, and redundant fuel lines. A dispensing end can be positioned to dispense the fuel to an outside device.
SUPPLY TANKER
The supply tanker includes a chassis resting on axles and bearing a tank, a fuel-dispensing module, a cab and also a cherry picker. The chassis has at least two subassemblies articulated to one another. A first subassembly, arranged at the front, bears the cab and the cherry picker. Another subassembly, arranged behind the first subassembly, bears the dispensing module and the tank. The first subassembly includes an axle in front of which and below the axis of which there extends a platform supporting, juxtaposed transversely, the cab on one side and the cherry picker on the other side.
Silo transport safe retrieval system
A silo transport system includes a vehicle and a silo configured to store material when in a vertical orientation supported on the ground surface, and to be transported in a horizontal orientation on the vehicle. The vehicle includes a pivoting cradle supporting the silo in the horizontal orientation and a lock to releasably attach the cradle to the silo. A cradle controller pivots the cradle from a lowered position to a raised position where the silo is in the vertical orientation resting on the ground surface. When the cradle is attached to the silo, the cradle controller pivots the cradle away from the raised position to the lowered position when the silo attached to the cradle is empty, and is inoperative to pivot the cradle away from the raised position toward the lowered position when the silo attached to the cradle contains greater than a threshold amount of the material.
VEHICLE FOR DELIVERING INFLAMMABLE FLUID
Vehicle for delivering inflammable fluid comprising a tractor unit and a tank mounted on a support, the vehicle including a fluid circuit connected to the tank that includes a set of pneumatic valves. The vehicle includes an electrical circuit having at least one electrical component and an electricity source connected to the electrical circuit via at least one port for connecting to a connection interface. A cover moves between a first position blocking access to the connection port(s) to prevent the electrical connection between the electricity source and the electrical circuit and a second position not blocking access to the connection port(s) to enable the electrical connection between the electricity source and the electrical circuit. The vehicle includes a switch connected to the fluid circuit switchable between a first state enabling the operation of the set of pneumatic valves to allow filling or draining and a second state preventing the operation of the set of pneumatic valves to prevent filling or draining. In its first position, the movable cover switches the switch or allows it to is be switched to its first state. When the movable cover is in its second position, the switch is automatically switched to its second state.
Light system for a sewer cleaning vehicle
A vehicle includes at least one hose extending from the vehicle and configured to extend below ground through a manhole, and a light system. The light system includes a storage member, such as a retractable reel, coupled to the vehicle, a flexible line wrapped at least partially around the storage member, and a light source coupled to the flexible line. The storage member is adapted to selectively extend and retract the light source together with the hose below ground, and the light source is storable on the vehicle adjacent the storage member. The light source has a self-contained power source. In some systems, the flexible line and/or the light source are removable from the vehicle so they can be moved to a remote location from the vehicle.
Mobile refueling vessel
A mobile vessel for refueling an engine or tank of a vehicle at a remote refueling site. A refueling station is mounted to the mobile vessel and includes a movable platform mounted to a generally horizontal deck. The platform is movable between a deployed position and a stowed position. In the deployed position the platform extends away from the deck to provide a floor for the worker to stand on to connect the fuel dispenser to the engine or tank. In the stowed position the movable platform is folded from the deployed position towards the generally horizontal deck.
Gas hauler with an awning with a built in light
A tank trailer includes a tank having an outer surface face and an inner surface and a central longitudinal vertical plane extending between the first end and the second end. The outer surface faces away from the central longitudinal vertical plane and the inner surface faces towards the central longitudinal vertical plane. The outer surface and the inner surface define an interior volume adapted to be filled with material. The tank trailer may further include a set of ground-engaging wheels supporting the tank trailer from below, a bar positioned proximate the outer surface of the tank and a light source provided on the bar. The tank may further include a frame member operatively engaged with the bar and a sheet material extending between the bar and the frame member. The frame member is movable between a first position and a second position.
SAFETY ZONE WITH BREAKAWAY FOR USE ON A TANKER TRUCK
A vehicle includes a safety arm and a coupler on the safety arm. The coupler couples the first safety arm to the vehicle. The first safety arm is adapted to fall away from the vehicle without damaging the vehicle when the safety arm contacts an object.
Temperature regulation system for vehicle hydraulic system
A vehicle includes a chassis, a controllable vehicle component, a hydraulic circuit, a heater, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The hydraulic circuit includes a reservoir configured to store hydraulic fluid, a pump positioned to drive the hydraulic fluid from the reservoir and throughout the hydraulic circuit, and an actuator positioned to selectively receive the hydraulic fluid from the pump to selectively operate the controllable vehicle component. The heater is positioned to facilitate selectively heating the hydraulic fluid. The temperature sensor is positioned to acquire temperature data indicative of a temperature of the hydraulic fluid. The controller is configured to monitor the temperature of the hydraulic fluid and selectively activate at least one of the heater or the pump to thermally regulate the hydraulic fluid (i) to maintain the hydraulic fluid within a target temperature range and (ii) independent of (a) an operator input and (b) engagement of the actuator.
Dry-bulk tanker, conveying system for a dry-bulk tanker, as well as work train
A dry-bulk tanker for the provision of binding agents for soil stabilization for a spreading device comprises a storage container (10) for binding agent. A mechanical conveying device (18) for conveying binding agents from the storage container (10) into an intermediate chamber (20) is connected to the storage container (10). A pneumatic conveying device (36) for conveying the binding agent to the spreading device is connected to the intermediate chamber (20). A pressure relief device (40, 41) is connected to the mechanical conveying device in order to avoid the entry of compressed air into the storage container (10). The invention furthermore relates to a conveying system for a dry-bulk tanker and to a work train for working soils with a self-propelled ground working machine and a dry-bulk tanker.
