A mobility handling vehicle mechanism includes a tubular frame having a battery and winch secured within the frame. A telescoping lift arm is movably secured to the outside top surface of the frame. A hook and cable are secured to the end of the telescoping lift arm and winch. When secured within a transporting vehicle, the device enables a user to utilize the winch to lift a mobility handling vehicle into the transporting vehicle.

Lift assemblies and methods of operating same. A lift assembly for a vehicle includes at least one support member having a longitudinal axis lying on a plane and which is configured for attachment to the vehicle. A mast having a proximal end, a distal end, and a mast axis is pivotably coupled with the at least one support member at the mast proximal end. At least one gear arrangement is coupled between the at least one support member and the mast proximal end. The mast is pivotable relative to the at least one support member about an axis parallel with the plane through an angular displacement greater than 90 degrees. A boom is pivotably coupled with the mast proximate the mast distal end, and a first lift line is coupled with the boom.

A service unit apparatus, which is suited to support one or more service equipment devices such as a fuel-powered engine, an electric motor, an electric power generator, a hydraulic pump, a crane, an air compressor, tanks to hold compressed air, batteries, a battery charger, a power unit and/or a reservoir of hydraulic fluid. The service unit may be configured to attach to a service vehicle rearward of the cab of the service vehicle. The service unit may be constructed to include one or more outriggers.

A winch boom system and method includes a frame, a shaft supported by the frame, and a winch drum attached to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft about a shaft axis rotates the winch drum. A boom is pivotably coupled to the frame, the boom defining a cavity in which the winch drum is positioned. A winch rope is wound about the winch drum, passing through the cavity of the boom, and extending from the boom at a point distal from the winch drum.

A utility vehicle having a collapsible game hanger apparatus includes a cargo box, a hitch receiver disposed under the cargo box and included in a rear structure, a hoist structure, a winch device, and a winch mounting bracket. The hoist structure consists of a base bar detachably attached to the hitch receiver, a mast attached to an end portion of the base bar, and a boom attached to an upper end of the mast. The winch device consists essentially of a winch detachably attached to a winch mounting bracket and a pulley unit for guiding the winch cable.

A pipelayer includes a frame, a plurality of ground engaging members movably supporting the frame, a prime mover, and a boom assembly and a counterbalance assembly supported on the frame. The boom assembly includes a boom. The counterbalance assembly including a counterweight, the counterweight being movably supported on the frame to counterbalance the boom assembly. The counterweight includes a battery box including at least one battery. A control strategy is also disclosed.
