A mast for a storage and retrieval machine; having several, preferably four support elements or supports, to which connecting plates are fastened in order to form a mast profile. Connecting plates are fastened in alternating fashion to the inside and outside of the support elements or supports on two opposite side panels of the mast to increase flexural and torsional rigidity, for which purpose the support element comprises corresponding fastening grooves on the inside and outside.

The present invention relates to a mold drum for molding products from a mass of food starting material. The mold drum comprises one or more cavities with a mold cavity wall having at least partially a porous structure, whereas each cavity is connected to a passage. The present invention further relates to a cleaning apparatus for the inventive mold drum with supporting means for supporting the axis of the drum. Additionally, the present invention relates to a process for cleaning the inventive drum.

A device for lifting and transporting sheet material includes a base portion; wheels on which the base portion is supported; a mast that extends upwardly from the base portion; a boom that extends from a first end outwardly from the mast to a second end; a supporting head that is configured to support sheet material; and a pivot coupling at the second end of the boom. The pivot coupling is arranged to couple the supporting head to the boom, and enable the supporting head to be rotated about a pivot axis between a first position in which sheet material supported by the supporting head is in a generally transverse orientation relative to the boom, and a second position in which the angle between sheet material supported by the supporting head and the boom is reduced.

Apparatus for braking relative vertical movement between two vertical members includes linkage connected either directly or indirectly to a cable pulley-mount that is spring loaded and moves cams that wedge in between two vertically moveable members when cable tension is not present at the pulley. A broken cable, for example, will create a situation where there is no cable tension between a plurality of cable pulleys, the lack of cable tension moves the mechanical cam style linkage to engage the braking members.

A transport device for transporting a cryopump includes a bogie that includes a front wheel and a rear wheel, a mast that extends from a front side of the bogie in a height direction, a raising and lowering unit that is supported by the mast and that has a changeable height, a guide rail that extends forward from the raising and lowering unit, an arm that is supported by the guide rail and that is slidable in a front-rear direction, a cargo platform that is provided at a tip part of the arm and that holds the cryopump, and a counterweight that is provided on a rear side of the bogie.
