A tool for installing and removing an interbox connector into and from a corner fitting of a cargo container positioned on a rail car. The tool includes support structure configured to releasably engage the opening in the upper locking cone of the connector whereby the connector can be delivered to or removed from the corner fitting without the need for the operator to climb onto the rail car.

An engine hoisting assembly for supporting an engine comprises a ground supporting frame, a substantially upright member having a longitudinal axis, a boom operably connected to the upright member, lifting means to selectively move the boom up or down along upright member's longitudinal axis and engine connecting means to operably connect the boom to the engine. The boom is maintained at a substantial horizontal orientation when lifting means selectively moves boom up or down.

A deck hoist tractor (DHT) for an unmanned platform (1) comprising an elongated base frame structure (12) carrying respective caterpillar drives (18) on each side enabling the tractor (2) to move forward and rearward, characterised in that the tractor (2) further comprising a tower frame structure (10) extending in substantially vertical direction from one end section of the base frame structure (12), which tower frame structure (10) is carrying a cantilevered top frame structure (11) carrying a lifting apparatus (22, 21), said caterpillar drives (18) are located at the same end section as said top frame structure (11), that said base frame structure (12) is extended by respective cantilevered beams (12a) space apart with an opening between them, each cantilevered beam (12) having an adjustable support structure (19) adjacent to their distal end (12b) from the caterpillar drive (18), said cantilevered top frame structure (11) is extended to vertically correspond with said respective cantilevered beams (12a), and said lifting apparatus (20, 21) is arranged to be shifted both forward and rearward, in addition to laterally in said top frame structure in order to position a load supported in the lifting apparatus. The invention also relates to a temporarily installed escape chute (54) and a method for installing and removing a tote tank (70) on the platform (1).

A device for holding objects, e.g., driverless transport vehicles, includes a rack main frame and a pivot arm which can be pivoted relative to the rack main frame about a pivot axis extending in a longitudinal direction. The pivot arm has a first strut and a second strut which extend at a right angle to the pivot axis and are disposed parallel to each other at an offset in the longitudinal direction. One cutout is provided in the end region of each of the struts remote from the pivot axis for receiving respective fastening shafts.

A sling bar device includes a central hub and a plurality of sling bar arms extending outwardly from the central hub. At least one of the plurality of sling bar arms is rotatable about the central hub to move a connection location from one angular position to another angular position relative to the central hub.

An auxiliary powered self lifting engine stand consisting of a portable frame having one rear cross member with two forward members capable of folding up for easy storage. Also a boom for lifting engine with a sleeve for housing a tube with engine clamp with rotating capability further having two leveling arms to maintain correct angle while lifting load into place with a mechanical lock to secure work while in use and a hydraulic cylinder mounted on lower end to front cross member to lift load powered by an air over hydraulic pump resting in a carry tray. Castors are used to maneuver machine into place.

A vehicle top lift and storage system is disclosed herein. In one embodiment a vehicle top lift and storage system includes a base, an upright member coupled to the base, and a lift arm coupled to and extending away from the upright member. A lift mechanism is configured to attach to a vehicle top and to suspend the vehicle top from the lift arm in order to aid removal of the vehicle top from a vehicle. A retainer, coupled to the base, is configured to engage at least a portion of a vehicle top when the vehicle top is resting on the vehicle top lift and storage system in a storage position.
