A skip apparatus for a working vehicle has a skip that is pivotable upward about a carrying axle and that has a pouring edge via which pourable material is able to be poured out of the skip. The skip apparatus additionally has an emptying device which is pivotable relative to the skip about a pivot axle on the skip during a pivoting movement. The emptying device has an inlet side and an outlet side. The inlet side is arranged in a region of the pouring edge such that the pourable material, which is poured out of the skip via the pouring edge, passes into the emptying device via the inlet side. The pivoting movement of the emptying device is guided in a defined manner by a guiding device. A working vehicle having such a skip apparatus also is provided.

A vehicle mounted loading and unloading apparatus is provided which has a stationary mounting rack removably attachable to a roof of a vehicle and a top rack that includes a container for storing cargo, such as bales of hay. An adjustment mechanism is provided to move the top rack relative to the mounting rack from a transporting position to a loading/unloading position in which the top rack is lowered behind the vehicle to facilitate loading cargo. A movable shelf may be provided on the top rack for assisting with loading and unloading cargo. The shelf is slidable between a rear end of the top rack and a front end of the top rack for placing the cargo.

Disclosed herein is a blade transport vehicle which includes a base, a blade fixing frame disposed on the base, a first moving device disposed at an upper end of the base to move the blade fixing frame in a longitudinal direction of the base, and a second moving device disposed at an upper end of the first moving device to move the blade fixing frame in a width direction of the base.

A vehicle carrier mountable to a vehicle frame, and a method for using same, including a tiltable subframe pivotally attached to a rear end of the vehicle frame, and a slidable bed with a transverse hinge mounted on and slidably attached to the subframe. The subframe is tiltable, enabling a rear portion of the bed to lay generally horizontally flat along the ground, and thereby provide an essentially zero-degree loading angle for a vehicle to be transported, while the front portion of the bed remains slidably attached to the inclined subframe.

A sod scrap collection apparatus is disclosed that enables pickup and collection of scraps of sod that have been discarded on the ground. The apparatus is pulled by a tractor and includes a pickup head followed by a dump bed. A pickup head conveyor moves pickup teeth along and over the ground at a particular distance in order to scrape up sod scraps and discard them into the dump bed where they are collected. A dump bed conveyor of the dump bed, which runs in the opposite direction as the pickup head conveyor, moves parallel spaced sweeping bars along a top of the sod scraps residing in the dump bed at an upward angle from front to back, so that the dump bed fills with the sod scraps efficiently from front to back.

The invention involves a cargo carrier for vehicles that facilitates loading and unloading of items onto an enclosure; the cargo carrier may be automated and self-loading via actuators and a motorized mechanism that may be remotely controlled. The actuators may be configured to tilt the enclosure and one or more motors may be configured to deploy a deployable tray housed within the enclosure, which minimizes user loading or unloading labor. Typically, on a front end of the enclosure, one or more actuators may couple the enclosure to a front portion of a vehicle support structure. On a rear end of the enclosure, one or more rear fittings may be configured to tiltably couple the enclosure to a rear portion of the vehicle support structure. The deployable tray may include a conveyor mechanism to further facilitate loading or unloading.

A transportable, top-loadable, and rear-unloadable slide trailer includes a frame, a secondary wheeled frame configured to translate relative to the frame between a forward position and a rearward position via a slideable assembly between the frame and the secondary wheeled frame, a bulk material carrier positionable in a load position and an unload position, and an unloader assembly coupled to the bulk material carrier and the frame. The trailer is loadable with the bulk material carrier in the load position. The trailer is transportable with the secondary wheeled frame in the rearward position and the bulk material carrier in the load position. The trailer is unloadable with the bulk material carrier in the unload position and the secondary wheeled frame in the forward position.
