An adapter assembly for lifting a vehicle includes an adapter defining a first pin aperture, a second pin aperture, and an adapter aperture, a first pin, a second pin, and a cross member removably received by the adapter aperture. The first pin is configured to be removably received by the first pin aperture and a first aperture defined by a frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame. The second pin is configured to be removably received by the second pin aperture and a second aperture defined by the frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame.

The forklift attachment allows one or more stacked large waste carts to be easily lifted and transported. The attachment includes an upright back, a standoff boot extending forward from the bottom of the back, a neck extending forward from the top of the back, and a lift saddle welded to the distal end of the neck. The standoff boot includes a tilt plate extending outward from a forward contact surface. The lift saddle is a generally flat, U-shaped plate welded perpendicularly to the distal end of the neck and is configured to seat under the peripheral rim of a large waste cart. The tilt plate extends into a vertical channel formed in the cart body and flange generally abuts the bottom wall of the channel to help prevent waste carts from tipping side to side as the forklift lifts and transports the waste cart.

A level compensator system may be configured to receive containers of different heights and position them at the same level. The level compensator system can include engagement platforms for engaging with the containers. The engagement platforms can move between an engagement configuration for engaging with the containers and a conveyance configuration for conveying of the containers relative to the level compensator.

A vertical manipulator for large size tyres which includes a platform and mechanisms for holding, raising, and rotating tyres, for the safe working of maintenance workers. The vertical manipulator works on all types of terrain and its movements include those of conventional manipulators, in addition to others specific to the invention, rendering its features superior. The vertical manipulator includes a main transverse body from which are suspended two sets of parallel arms that open and close according to the size of the tyre. To each set of parallel arms is added a support arm, which holds a pivoting arm, equipped with a gripping plate, securing side rollers and a lower roller, the pivoting arm operating supported by a lifting jack, and a work platform being disposed on the parallel arms and supported by the main body.

A method for removing a fin fan motor from a heat exchanger includes positioning a motor lifting device beneath the fin fan motor, moving a carriage of the motor lifting device upward in a vertical direction with respect to a base member of the motor lifting device along a vertical guide column, moving one or more vertical support members into a locked position, the one or more vertical support members spaced apart from the vertical guide column and extending between the carriage and the base member, where the one or more vertical support members restrict vertical movement of the carriage with respect to the base member in the locked position, and moving the fin fan motor to the carriage of the motor lifting device.

Provided is a holding apparatus capable of holding a holding object with sufficient holding force from either of the outside and the inside. The holding apparatus includes a holding-apparatus body, a first and second arms, an opening and closing mechanism, a driving device, and a first and second holding elements. The opening and closing mechanism interconnects each of the first and second arms and the holding apparatus main bodies so as to allow the first and second arms to be moved in the opening and closing direction while kept in the holding posture. The first and second holding elements is pivotably connected to the arm lower region, having respective inner contact surfaces opposed to each other in the opening and closing direction and respective outer contact surfaces facing the opposite side.

A large animal lifting and moving apparatus includes a frame having a front end and a rear end, the frame, a drive shaft rotatably coupled to the frame, a drive motor coupled to the frame and operatively coupled to the drive shaft; the drive motor selectively powered by a power source, and one or more roller chains coupled to the drive shaft. The frame is structured to support a large animal between the front end and the rear end and structured to be moved during operation of the large animal lifting and moving apparatus. When the drive motor is powered by the power source, the drive motor drives the drive shaft and the roller chains coupled to the drive shaft.
