A maintenance assembly for a wheel assembly of an amusement ride vehicle includes a foundational body, a wheel engagement section extending a first distance from the foundational body, and a datum section including a protrusion extending a second distance from the foundational body. The wheel engagement section is configured to contact a wheel surface of the wheel assembly, and the datum section is configured to contact a pad of the wheel assembly. Additionally, the wheel engagement section is rigidly positioned with respect to the datum section, and the second distance is greater than the first distance, such that the maintenance assembly provides a fixed distance between a surface of the datum section configured to contact the pad and a surface of the wheel engagement section configured to contact the wheel surface.

A transport cart (3) and a transmission device thereof (32). The transmission device comprises: a crawling assembly (320), a rotary drive assembly and a crawling drive assembly. The crawling assembly comprises: a wheel frame (321), comprising a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the wheel frame extending from the first end to the second end; a driving wheel (322), mounted at the second end and having an axis perpendicular to the extending direction of the wheel frame; and a guide wheel (323), mounted at the second end and having an axis parallel to the extending direction of the wheel frame. The present transport cart provided with the described transmission device may move along both a horizontal rail and a vertical rail and may quickly switch between the horizontal rail and the vertical rail, thus improving the moving efficiency.
