This invention relates to a gas tank handling attachment for a truck mounted forklift truck (TMFL) comprising a frame, a pair of clamping arms pivotably mounted on the frame, and a pair of pivoting rams mounted on the frame, operable to pivot the clamping arms to and from a stowed configuration and an operating configuration. The frame comprises a pair of spaced apart uprights bridged by a bracing cross-member, and there is provided, mounted on the frame, means to releasably engage a fork carriage. One of the clamping arms is mounted on one upright and the other clamping arm is mounted on the other upright. In the stowed configuration, the clamping arms are substantially parallel to and extend upwardly from the uprights, and in the operating configuration the clamping arms are substantially orthogonal to and project forwardly from the uprights. An operator can operate the attachment to engage/disengage a gas tank from inside the driver's station of the TMFL.

The present invention relates to a mould drum for moulding products from a mass of food starting material. The mould drum comprises one or more cavities with a mould 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 mould 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 handling reels includes a telescoping assembly with a first fork sleeve and a second fork sleeve attached to the telescoping assembly so that a position of the first fork sleeve may be adjusted with respect to a position of the second fork sleeve. A first reel lifter fitting and a second reel lifter fitting are attached to the telescoping assembly so that a position of the first reel lifter fitting may be adjusted with respect to a position of the second reel lifter fitting. A first reel lifter arm having a first hook portion and a second reel lifter arm having a second hook portion are slidingly received within the first and second reel lifter fittings.

A dump-bin apparatus for waste transfer includes (a) a frame mountable to forks of a forklift; (b) a bin retainer pivotably mounted to the frame for securely retaining a dump bin, the bin retainer pivotable relative to the frame between an upright position and a dumping position; and (c) a release mechanism locking the bin retainer to the frame in the upright position. The release mechanism includes an actuator operable to release the bin retainer from the frame for pivoting toward the dumping position through pushing of the actuator in a forward direction away from the forklift when the frame is mounted to the forklift.

A tank carrier includes a base member, a backstop, and a pair of support members. The pair of support members extend between the base member and the backstop to form an angled support to solidify an orientation between the base member and the backstop. A lower saddle strap and an upper saddle strap each extend between the pair of support members and are configured to separate from each other between the plurality of support members to extend around a tank. A latch, having a pin, is configured to selectively secure the upper saddle strap to at least one of the pair of support members.

A barrel lifting attachment for a fork lift includes a frame pivotally attached to the forks toward their front and a hydraulic cylinder piston attached to an extension on the back of the frame. A rear wheel assembly is attached to each side of the frame in front of the extension. The top of the hydraulic cylinder is attached to a piston mounting structure attached to the upright portion of the forks. A front wheel assembly is attached to each fork toward their fronts. A ramp is attached to each of the forks forward of the front wheel assembly. With the frame in a horizontal position, a barrel can be rolled onto the ramps and cradled between the front and rear wheel assemblies. To remove the barrel the piston is engaged to raise the rear of the frame so that the barrel can be removed from the attachment.

The present disclosure relates to a safety-enhanced hydraulic metal coil loading system and method thereof (100) comprising a hydraulic lifting unit (102) configured to elevate metal coils, the hydraulic lifting unit (102) including a large hydraulic cylinder (104) and a small hydraulic cylinder (106), a positioning mechanism (110) mechanically linked to the hydraulic lifting unit (102), the positioning mechanism (110) including a lifter fork (112), a decoiler machine (116) operatively connected to the positioning mechanism (110), a support structure (118) comprising a frame and a carriage (120), a control unit (122) electrically coupled to the hydraulic lifting unit (102), positioning mechanism (110), and decoiler machine (116), the control unit (122) programmed to regulate lifting operations, monitor alignment, and prevent overload conditions, a monitoring interface (124) in communication with the control unit (122), a floor with a cutout cover (126) secured below the frame.
