A cantilevered dumping system comprising a dumping mechanism that is adapted to be repositioned (e.g., reversed) relative to a base structure such that there may be multiple modes of operation of the dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.). An exemplary embodiment of a dumping system may allow for the connections of a dumping mechanism to a base structure to be changed (e.g., reversed) such that the operation of the dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.) is different. Another embodiment of a dumping system may include a base structure that includes multiple guide plates and/or guide rails to facilitate the desired modes of operation of a dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.).

A rotary dumpster maneuvers a receptacle via a rotary fork lift assembly that includes a pair of forks. The rotary dumpster includes a base, a first sidewall, and first and second fork tubes. The base is constructed and arranged to support the receptacle when in an upright position. The first sidewall projects upward from the base when in the upright position. The first and second fork tubes are engaged to the first sidewall, and are constructed and arranged to respectively receive the pair of forks for generally moving the rotary dumpster between the upright position and a dumping position. The second fork tube is spaced above the first fork tube when in the upright position.

There is disclosed a portable work station comprising a generally vertical frame mounted to a base having wheels mounted thereon which allow the vertical frame, and a lifting platform mounted on the vertical frame, to be maneuvered across a flat floor surface. Preferably, the wheels are freely rotatable in any direction to allow the base to be easily manoeuvered on a flat floor surface. The wheels may be powered with motors and controlled via an operator control to move the base and the lifting platform into any desired height and orientation with a high degree of manoeuverability.

Reusable, flexible, lightweight, low cost flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) for the delivery of granular proppant material for fracing that will allow the transport of higher weights of proppant, such as sand, per truck load. The invention includes a container made of a high strength, flexible material with a top opening for loading and deploying the proppant. The container can be lifted and deployed with a fork truck or crane. Alternatively, proprietary deployment systems, such as a conveyor system, can be used to quickly and efficiently deploy the proppant from the container at a desired site.

Pontoon forks are specifically designed for the marine industry to efficiently and safely lift and maneuver pontoon boats. The pontoon forks are engineered to lift tri-toons and pontoon boats of lengths up to and greater than twenty-eight feet. The forks can further accommodate weights of up to and greater than six-thousand pounds. Removable pockets included with the pontoon forks allow for the lifting and transport of pontoon boats of various sizes without having to have specialized equipment for each and every make and model of the pontoon boat. The pontoon forks are retrofit to fit specific forklifts already owned or easily acquired by marinas.

A lift system for an automated storage system of the type where storage containers are stacked in storage columns arranged in a grid, and where automated container handling vehicles retrieve and replace containers from a top level of the grid. The lift system has a platform vertically movable adjacent to a face of the grid, arranged for receiving and transporting one or more containers. A dedicated mechanical device is arranged for grabbing, lifting and moving the storage containers from a staging area at the top of the grid and placing containers on the platform and vice versa.
