A tiltable machine liftable trash collection assembly for reducing manual lifting and incidence of injury includes a skid and a container. The skid is liftable by a pallet lifting machine, such as a forklift, a skid jack, a front loader, or the like. A pair of arms is engaged to the skid so that the arms extend singly from adjacent corners of the skid. A rod is engaged to and extends between the arms distal from the skid. The container is pivotally engaged to the rod so that a bottom of the container rests upon the skid. A top of the container is open, allowing for positioning of refuse. The skid can be selectively lifted by the pallet lifting machine, positioning an operator to tilt the container so that the refuse empties through the top of container without the operator having to manually lift the container.

The attachment including a Balancing Stability Frame and a Pivot Power Pack When the Balancing Stability Frame is attached to the Pivot Power Pack, the weight of a load that is being lifted is supported by the Pivot Power Pack wheels. When the Pivot Power Pack and Balancing Stability Frame are connected to a mobility scooter, a weight of the operator and a counterbalance attached to the Balancing Stability Frame is equally distributed across all wheels. This design minimizes the amount of weight supported by the scooter, which helps to preserve the durability of the scooter.

A crematory lift has a frame with a vertically extending member with a carriage with tines mounted for vertical displacement. A support bed is pivotably mounted to the carriage tines and has a ball segment on its rearward end with rotatable balls permitting sideward positioning of a decedent thereon and a roller segment on the forward end which permits the forward displacement of the decedent. A hydraulic actuator extends between the carriage and the support bed rear where it is remote from the oven's heat and operates to raise and incline the support bed to discharge the decedent into the oven. The support bed has four forward strap mounts with U-shaped slots with strap support tabs which receive straps for lifting of a decedent positioned below the support bed.

Described is an attachment device (1) for telehandlers (100) designed to be connected to an operating arm (101) and comprising a front frame (12) designed for removably attaching an accessory (102) for engaging a load, such as a fork, a side shift carriage, a winch or a loading platform.

The frame comprises two lateral sides (121) and two crosspieces (122), of which one upper and one lower, which join the side elements (121) to each other.

One or more crosspieces (122) have an oblique inner side (120) relative to a horizontal plane.

A forklift includes a vehicle and a cargo handling device. The cargo handling device includes a mast, a lift bracket, and a pair of forks that includes claw portions, the forks being separated from each other in a vehicle width direction. The vehicle includes a vehicle main body, and a pair of straddle legs that is provided such that the straddle legs extend to the front side from a lower portion of the vehicle main body and the cargo handling device is interposed between the straddle legs in the vehicle width direction and that supports the mast such that the cargo handling device is movable forward and backward between an advance position and a retreat position, and front ends of the claw portions are positioned behind front ends of the straddle legs when the cargo handling device is at the retreat position.

A universal payload manipulation tool employs a segmented ring captured in a telescoping cradle to perform the positioning functions of both a workstation and a loading adapter. The ring rotates over a range of 360 degrees to perform the position functions of the workstation. With the upper ring segment removed, the telescoping cradle rotates and the lower ring segment rotates and extends from the telescoping cradle over a combined range of rotation to position the payload at a specified angle for unloading to perform the position functions of a loading adapter. This configuration allows the universal tool to access confined spaces while supporting a range of rotation required in many applications for unloading the payload (loading the payload to another platform such as an aircraft). The manipulation tool may also be configured as only a loading adapter.

A controlling device of a forklift executes a stopping process of stopping lowering of a fork by a lift device when a detection sensor is separated from a first facing surface while the fork is being lowered by the lift device in a placing operation, a forward tilting process executed after execution of the stopping process, the forward tilting process controlling the tilt device to tilt the fork forward until the tilt angle reaches a limit value, and a returning process of sequentially obtaining values of the tilt angle during execution of the forward tilting process and tilting the fork rearward when the value of the tilt angle stops changing before the tilt angle reaches the limit value. The returning process is not executed in a case in which the tilt angle reaches the limit value.
