A pallet lift includes a base and a plurality of wheels supporting the base. A pair of contact surfaces are proximate a distal end of the base. A handle projects upward proximate a proximal end of the base. A rear support surface support is on the base between the contact surfaces and the handle. The base may include a pair of spaced apart rails capable of receiving columns of a pallet therebetween. In one embodiment, the base includes a pair of four-bar linkages and the handle is a lift handle configured to selectively collapse and extend the four-bar linkages to raise and lower a pallet.

A toilet lift apparatus for removing and installing toilets includes a base having a left side slidably engageable with a right side. An attachment bar is coupled to the base. A pair of supports is coupled to the base and a cantilever is coupled to the pair of supports. The cantilever selectively engages with a toilet and pivots on the pair of supports to lift and alternatively lower the toilet. A ratchet assembly is coupled to the cantilever to pull in, or alternatively push out, each of the left arm and the right arm. A latch bar is coupled to the ratchet assembly and extends down past the attachment bar. The latch bar has a plurality of hooks with each of the plurality of hooks being selectively engageable with the attachment bar.

A pallet sled includes a lower frame and an upper frame. A plurality of pivot arms pivotably connect the upper frame to the lower frame. The upper frame is movable between a lowered position and raised position. The upper frame is spaced further from the lower frame in the raised position than in the lowered position. The upper frame is rotated slightly relative to the lower frame when moved from the lowered position to the raised position. In the example embodiment, the upper frame is rotated approximately 1.5 degrees to approximately 2.0 degrees toward the upright handle of the pallet sled.

A pallet truck comprises a rolling frame (10) and at least one force sensor (51, 52) for registering and generating as electronic output signal a loading of a load platform (20). The force sensor is coupled to electronic processing means for receiving and processing the output signal, and display means (65) are provided for generating a visual weight indication. At least a part of the processing means is accommodated together with a first electronic power supply in a first housing (50) forming part of the frame (10). The display means (65) are arranged together with a second electronic power supply in a second housing (60) on or close to a handle (45) of an operating arm. A wired first connection (56) is provided between the force sensor (51, 52) and the processing means. Telecommunication means are provided for establishing and maintaining a wireless second connection (57) between the first housing (50) and the second housing (60).

A hand truck that is reconfigurable between one or more hand truck operational configurations and a hand truck stowed configuration is provided. The hand truck comprises a primary wheel assembly that is aligned in a primary wheel operational configuration in the multiple hand truck operational configurations and a primary wheel stowed configuration in the hand truck stowed configuration.

A pallet lift includes a base and a plurality of wheels supporting the base. A pair of contact surfaces are proximate a distal end of the base. A handle projects upward proximate a proximal end of the base. A rear support surface support is on the base between the contact surfaces and the handle. The base may include a pair of spaced apart rails capable of receiving columns of a pallet therebetween. In one embodiment, the base includes a pair of four-bar linkages and the handle is a lift handle configured to selectively collapse and extend the four-bar linkages to raise and lower a pallet.

A pallet sled includes an upper frame including spaced-apart arms adapted to receive feet of a pallet therebetween. A lower frame supports the upper frame. A plurality of pivotable arms connect the lower frame to the upper frame. A handle is pivotably connected to the lower frame and the upper frame, such that pivoting the handle selectively raises and lowers the upper frame relative to the lower frame.

A transpallet is provided for ground handling of goods stored on a support platform, comprising at least one motorized wheel, an electromechanical parking braking system of the wheel adapted to take on a stop configuration when not energized and a release configuration when energized and an electric power supply assembly adapted to supply electric power to the motorized wheel and to the electromechanical parking braking system. An on-board electronic control unit is arranged for the selective handling of the transpallet movement in a motorized mode of movement, a manual mode of movement or a stop mode, depending on the charge level of the electric power supply assembly.

In certain examples, a cart is for lifting a load and the cart has a base frame, a lifting frame pivotally coupled to the base frame with a link arm, a handle pivotally coupled to the base frame at a first pivot axis, and a brace. The brace has a first end pivotally coupled to the handle at a second pivot axis that is spaced apart from the first pivot axis along the handle and an opposite second end pivotally coupled to the lifting frame at a third pivot axis that is between the link arm and the first pivot axis along the lifting frame to thereby achieve a mechanical advantage for pivoting the lifting frame relative to the base frame as the handle is pivoted about the first pivot axis.

A beverage keg dolly (BKD) system/method providing for transportation of a beverage keg (BK) in tight quarters is disclosed. The system/method integrates a dolly frame spine (DFS), axial wheel assembly (AWA), radial wheel assembly (RWA), keg alignment handle (KAH), keg engagement hook (KEH), beverage keg cradle (BKC), and vertical rotation handle (VRH). BK transportation uses the KAH to engage/cradle the KEH to a BK within the BKC. Once cradled by the BKC, the BK is lifted off the ground and supported by the AWA via depression of the VRH. The BK axially rotates about the AWA by the VRH until the BK center of gravity transitions a vertical equipoise plane (VEP) extending from the AWA. The weight of the BK is then supported by the AWA and the RWA. Transportation and/or circular rotation of the BK may then be affected by rotation/movement of the VRH.
