Systems and methods are provided for securing a transport device to preexisting studs or support members. One embodiment includes a clamp assembly with a compression fitting adapted to be secured to a plurality of different sized studs or wall supports, and further to support additional supports including, but not limited, horizontal support members. A transport device is further provided that is selectively connectable to clamp and support members of the disclosure. In another embodiment, a hook bracket is provided which includes a projection configured to be positioned in a hole through a stud. The extension may include a notch to engage a portion of the stud. The hook bracket includes at least one aperture adapted to secure the hook bracket to a support member operatively interconnected to the transport device.

A pallet jack includes a base and a pair of tines extending from the base. The pair of tines including a first tine and a second tine. A load wheel supports an outer end of each of the pair of tines. Each load wheel is configured to move toward and away from the respective tine to raise the tine off a floor on which the load wheel is supported. The first tine including a support surface configured to selectively be a lowermost surface of the tine to facilitate lateral displacement of the first tine.

A pallet sled includes a base and a plurality of tines extending forward from the base. At least one of the plurality of tines includes a wheel supporting the tine away from the base. A brake assembly is positioned adjacent the wheel to selectively brake the wheel. The brake assembly may include a drum adjacent the wheel. Alternatively, the brake assembly may include a brake shoe selectively directly contacting the wheel to brake the sled.

Industrial truck with a drive part and a load part with two wheel arms that is height-adjustable relative to the drive part, wherein each of the wheel arms has a wheel arm lever, which has at least one load roller and is pivotably articulated on the wheel arm, and a rod, via which a height adjusting movement of the load part is coupled with a pivoting movement of the wheel arm lever, wherein the rod has a hydraulic cylinder, with which a length of the rod is adjustable and which has an operating volume, characterized in that the two rods are push rods, and the industrial truck has a pressure accumulator, which is connectable with the operating volumes of the two hydraulic cylinders.

A drive unit includes a drive wheel, a prime mover, a coupling mechanism and a support frame. The coupling mechanism includes first and second coupling members. The first coupling member includes a first opposed surface. The second coupling member includes a second opposed surface opposed to the first opposed surface. The second coupling member is attached to the first coupling member in a detachable manner. The support frame is attached to the coupling mechanism. The support frame supports the drive wheel and the prime mover. The first coupling member includes a first vertical groove and a first transverse groove on the first opposed surface. The second coupling member includes a second vertical groove and a second transverse groove on the second opposed surface. The second vertical groove is opposed to the first vertical groove. The second transverse groove is opposed to the first transverse groove.

An improved cart and pallet system and an improved compactly stackable pallet for use in the system are disclosed. The improved pallet has a central support extending beneath the pallet with channels on either side of the support. The support and channels are engaged by a ledged, generally U-shaped deck of a cart or pallet truck of the application.

The present disclosure is related to an electric pallet truck. The electric pallet truck includes a frame, a lifting unit, and a walking unit. The lifting unit is configured to adjust a height of the frame. The walking unit is configured to drive the frame to move. The lifting unit includes a lifting mechanism fixedly connected to the frame and a hydraulic mechanism configured to control a lifting of the lifting mechanism. The walking unit includes a driving mechanism configured at a bottom of the lifting mechanism.

A gas cylinder lifting and transport device, includes a base supported on a plurality of wheels; a source of power; a lifting device carried on the base; a clamping apparatus having actuators that receives power from the source of power, to clamp or unclamp a gas cylinder. The actuators can be pneumatic cylinders and the source of power can be an on-board battery-operated compressor supported from the base, the compressor being flow connected to the pneumatic cylinders. Alternatively, the source of power can be a battery and the actuators can be electrically actuated linear actuators. The lifting device can be a manually operated lever or a powered lifting device such as an electric linear actuator or a pressurized fluid.

The present inventions provides a lifting device 101 comprising a main body 105 being of a generally elongate form, said main body 105 having at one end thereof a transport means 102, 120 to allow said device to translate relative to the ground, a boom portion 103 cooperating with said main body 105 and adapted to support a load at its end, a motive power means 115 to lift or lower said load, said main body 105 being able to be pivoted by a user with respect to a fulcrum 102, 120 formed by either said transport means 102, 120 and a ground location or said transport means 102, 120, around an axis generally parallel to the ground, to transfer or arcuately move a load carried by said boom portion 103, thereby providing a functionally variable horizontal reach 1013 to said device 101.
