ADJUSTABLE SPAN TINE PALLET JACK
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.
Load maneuvering
A method to maneuver a load is disclosed, and includes providing a set of uprights, including spacing a set of front legs laterally apart from one another, to extend in a generally vertical direction, and spacing a set of rear legs laterally apart from one another and longitudinally from the set of front legs, to extend in a generally vertical direction. The method also includes coupling a set of front arms to the set of front legs in a generally vertically adjustable manner, coupling a set of rear arms to the set of rear legs in a generally vertically adjustable manner, providing a set of rollers to support the front and rear legs to facilitate rolling of the apparatus over the ground, suspending a load in a space between the arms, and adjustably moving the uprights in a direction toward one another to maneuver the load.
Luggage for mechanical integration with a platform
Luggage that may be mechanically integrated with a platform, including a piece of luggage including a slit through which the piece of luggage is integrated with a platform for the piece of luggage, a handle fastened to the piece of luggage, for pushing or pulling the piece of luggage, luggage wheels fastened to a first outer surface of the piece of luggage, for rolling the piece of luggage, and a release mechanism extending from the luggage unit to the platform, through the slit, for unlocking the platform, wherein the platform locks and unlocks such that the platform is free to be raised and lowered when it is unlocked, and is not free to be raised and lowered when it is locked.
Toilet Lift Apparatus
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.
Wheel dolly
A wheel dolly for raising a vehicle wheel off the floor is disclosed. The dolly has at least two wheel straddle bars, each straddle bar having a non-swing caster assembly. A swing caster assembly is connected to each straddle bar. The assembly includes a stationary frame supporting a swing axle, a swing frame that rotates about the swing axle, and a swing caster connected to swing frame. The swing caster defines a swivel plane. A lift bar connects the two wheel straddle bars. The dolly can transition between two configurations: a lowered configuration, wherein the swivel plane is not parallel to the floor, and a raised configuration, wherein the swivel plane is substantially parallel to the floor.
Pallet sled
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.
Load centering devices and methods for a material handling vehicle
Load centering devices and methods for a material handling vehicle are provided. In particular, load centering devices and methods are provided that enable a load to be centered with respect to load carrying forks on a material handling vehicle when the load is raised and/or lowered by the forks.
Wear blade installation system
A wear blade installation system for mounting a wear blade on a plow includes a wear blade that may be installed on a plow. A floor jack is provided and the floor jack may be manipulated. The floor jack has a lift arm and the lift arm has a lift plate. The lift plate is selectively raised and lowered. A lifting unit is coupled to the floor jack and the lifting unit is positioned on the lift plate. A gripping unit is movably coupled to the lifting unit. The gripping unit selectively engages the wear blade thereby facilitating the floor jack to lift the wear blade. In this way the wear blade is positioned to be installed on the plow.
PALLET SLED AND DELIVERY SYSTEM
A pallet sled includes a pair of tines extending forward from a base. A load wheel supports each of the pair of tines. The load wheels are each configured to move away from the respective tine to lift the respective tine upward relative to a support surface on which the load wheel is supported. A processor on the pallet sled records usage of the sled, such as lift cycles, location over time, battery condition, lift height, weight lifted, distance traveled, and the like. A communication circuit may be configured to send data from the pallet sled to a remote server. An identification reader may be configured to read an identification tag of an object supported on the pair of tines, such as an rfid tag on a pallet.
PALLET SLED
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.
