A universal aircraft mule having a rollable and steerable frame and an interchangeable, load-carrying cradle configured for removably supporting and carrying an auxiliary. The frame tiltably and liftably supports the cradle with a lift assembly. The lift assembly raises and lowers the cradle in relation to the frame and tilts the cradle in relation to the frame. The cradle also allows an auxiliary to be skewed within the cradle to facilitate loading and unloading of the auxiliary.

Embodiments of various ergonomic carts for metal forming operations and methods of use are enclosed. Each ergonomic cart eases transport of a machine tool between a machine tool storage rack and a manufacturing machine. Some forms of the ergonomic carts comprise an elevator portion to adjust to various machine and storage rack heights. Some cart embodiments include a tumbler mounted to a superior portion of a cart for rotating a machine tool in space for movement between a storage configuration and a load configuration. Various forms of tumblers are described and illustrated. Each tumbler comprises a punch channel which is rotatable within said tumbler portion between a superior facing position and an inferior facing position. In other embodiments, a clamp rack system offers a convenient method to store press clamps.

A free access floor structure to install a manufacturing apparatus such as a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, in a short time, and a manufacturing apparatus and a carrier apparatus adapted for the floor structure. An embodiment of the manufacturing apparatus includes an apparatus-side connector which is provided, facing downward, to a bottom plate of a manufacturing apparatus. A floor structure of an embodiment includes a floor plate to be worked into a floor surface. The floor structure includes a floor-side connector which is provided, facing upward, to the floor plate so as to be connected with the apparatus-side connector according to a lowering operation of the manufacturing apparatus. An installation step (mounting step, piping/wiring step) of the manufacturing apparatus may thereby be performed in one step. As a result, the labor and the time required to install the manufacturing apparatus may be saved.

A lift for a vehicle door is disclosed. The vehicle door lift may include a base that includes at least one wheel, a moveable frame connected to the base and comprising at least one moveable vertical post, a moveable bottom platform connected to the moveable frame and configured to hold the bottom of the door, and at least one hook located above the platform and connected to the moveable vertical post. The at least one hook may be configured to pivot relative to the post in order to be placed through a window opening of the vehicle door and wrap around a frame of the vehicle door forming the window opening. The moveable frame, platform and hook may be configured to move vertically upward relative to the vehicle door and the base by a user applying downward force on a lever connected to the frame.

A dolly that is expandable and capable of raising and transporting small or large objects is disclosed. The dolly includes a pair of frames facing each other. The dolly includes a platform positioned over each the frames. The dolly includes a bar receiving section extending from each of the frames. The bar receiving section includes a first hole at its distal end. The dolly includes an elongated bar comprising second holes. The dolly includes pins. The elongated bar inserts through the bar receiving sections such that the second holes align with the first holes in the bar receiving sections and adjust the distance between of the frames. The pins insert through the first holes and the second holes and lock the distance between of the frames. The platforms receive an object such as container, piano, packaging box, etc. for transportation.

A gas cylinder holder may include a frame that defines a storage region for receiving multiple gas cylinders. The gas cylinders disposed within the storage region may be coupled to an outlet cabinet of the gas cylinder holder that contains components configured to output/deliver gas from the gas cylinders. The gas cylinder holder may further include a control panel configured to control the outlet cabinet components in order to dictate the gas cylinder from which the gas is delivered. The frame of the gas cylinder holder may further include at least one engagement member. A cart or other transportation mechanism may be configured to engage with the at least one engagement member of the frame of the gas cylinder holder to facilitate lifting and moving the gas cylinder cart regardless of whether or not gas cylinders are disposed within the storage region of the gas cylinder holder.

Carts for use with pallets and methods of using the same are disclosed. The carts have an adjustable height platform that includes a base, a plurality of wheels rotatably coupled to the base, a platform, a linkage assembly coupled to and disposed between the base and the platform, a lift mechanism coupled to and disposed between the base and the platform, an upwardly extending handle, and wherein the platform is movable between a first position and a second position that is above the first position. The carts may include drive motors and the pallets may be nestably stackable.

A dolly that is expandable and capable of raising and transporting small or large objects is disclosed. The dolly includes a pair of frames facing each other. The dolly includes a platform positioned over each the frames. The dolly includes a bar receiving section extending from each of the frames. The bar receiving section includes a first hole at its distal end. The dolly includes an elongated bar comprising second holes. The dolly includes pins. The elongated bar inserts through the bar receiving sections such that the second holes align with the first holes in the bar receiving sections and adjust the distance between of the frames. The pins insert through the first holes and the second holes and lock the distance between of the frames. The platforms receive an object such as container, piano, packaging box, etc. for transportation.

A pallet mover intended to lift and move pallets. The pallet mover including a first deck, a second deck and a locking mechanism. In one embodiment, the locking mechanism includes three crescent shaped brackets with elongated slots therein. The two outermost brackets pivot to lift the first deck to raised position, and position the handle upright and at the 45-degree angles (for pushing or pulling the unit). The center bracket includes an aperture to receive the spring-loaded locking pin which locks the deck and handle portion in either the up or down position. The present pallet mover is manually driven thus having increased maneuverability and lower manufacturing cost.
