A freight vehicle has a frame defining a support surface for the goods to be transported, a plurality of rubberized wheel assemblies with suspensions, the height of which can be adjusted to shift the support surface between a lowered loading position and a raised transport position, and a driver's cab arranged beneath said support surface; the cab being coupled to, and overhanging, the frame by means of an articulated quadrilateral transmission unit and being shifted by pneumatic actuators configured to vertically move the whole cab in relation to the support surface between two extreme end positions, one approaching the support surface and one spaced apart from said support surface, and to arrange the cab in a cushioned intermediate position for the transport of the goods.

A hydraulic deck comprising a frame consisting of a pair of horizontal members and a pair of vertical members, wherein the frame is configured to be mounted in a bed of a pickup truck; a pair of pivot arm members in telescoping engagement with the pair of horizontal members and a pair of extension members in telescoping engagement with the pair of vertical members; a platform member configured to support at least one vehicle; a pair of pillars rotationally connected to pin members positioned on the pair of extension members, wherein the pair of pillar extend perpendicularly from the platform member; and a mechanically operating lifting system configured to slide and lower the platform from the bed in a stored position to a ground surface in a loading position.

The present invention is a vehicle lift. In particular, the present invention is directed to a vehicle lift that has an adjustable vehicle receiver mount that is vertically adjustable and horizontally adjustable. The vehicle receiver mount has two lifting arms and two support arms pivotally attached. The lifting arms are each pivotally attached to a platform shoe and the support arms are attached to vertical rotation cups. The extruded aluminum vehicle platform is pivotally mounted on four pivot arms. The pivot arms are pivotally attached to the platform. The lift is attached to the vehicle receiver mount and is also attached to a crossbar mounted between the two lifting arms. The drive is preferably a single unit hydraulic drive. The vehicle receiver mount also has a towing receiver. The vehicle platform preferably has two channels with tethering and anchoring hardware, a vehicle stop and entrance ramp mounted on the channels.

A vehicle, cargo transfer device of the vehicle and a method of transferring a package between a vehicle to a delivery platform. A lift platform is extended from a floor of the vehicle via a support structure. The package is moved to the lift platform from one of the floor and the delivery platform. The lift platform is rotated via a turntable through a rotation angle. The support structure supports the turntable and the lift platform. The package is moved from the lift platform to the other of the floor and the delivery platform.

An aircraft loader comprises a chassis, a cab, a loading floor and a load lifting apparatus. The load lifting apparatus includes a frame, a first horizontal platform and a second horizontal platform. The frame includes a pair of vertical columns. Each column has a front slider and a rear slider configured to be displaced vertically along the columns. The first platform is displaceable through movement of the rear sliders between a loading floor height and an aircraft loading height. The second platform is displaceable through movement of the front sliders and the first platform between an intermediate height and the aircraft loading height. When the first platform is raised from the loading floor height and reaches the intermediate height, the first and second platforms engage to so as to travel in unison, thus defining a loading deck which is displaceable between the intermediate height and the aircraft loading height.

Systems, devices, and methods for a sliding bar disposed between a platform section and a flipover of a lift platform; a rotatable portion connected to the platform section, wherein the sliding bar is fixedly connected to the rotatable portion; a receiver portion connected to the flipover; a sliding bar mount pivotally connected to the receiver portion; and a bushing disposed in the sliding bar mount where the bushing slidably receives a portion of the sliding bar; where the bushing reduces a pull force for moving the flipover between at least one of: an open position and a vertical position and a closed position and a vertical position.

Systems, devices, and methods for an inductive coupling platform system comprising: an inductive coupling lift gate platform comprising: a first segment; a second segment; at least one primary inductive coupling component disposed in at least a portion of the first segment; and at least one receiver inductive coupling component disposed in at least a portion of the second segment; where inductive contact is provided between the at least one primary inductive coupling component and the at least one receiver inductive coupling component in an unfolded position; and where power or data is transmitted via the inductive contact between the at least one primary inductive coupling component and the at least one receiver inductive coupling component in the unfolded position.

An embodiment mobile object includes a frame part having an internal space, a wheel part coupled to a first side of the frame part and comprising a wheel, movable modules coupled to a second side of the frame part and configured to be movable in a vertical direction relative to the frame part, and a door module coupled to a first side of the movable modules, the door part being rotatable relative to the movable modules in a direction toward the internal space or a direction away from the internal space.

A liftgate load system for use with a vehicle, which includes deck sections that are movable between an in use position where the deck sections form a horizontal platform to a stowed position where the deck sections are folded a vertical arrangement. The liftgate load system also includes an adapter on the platform that is provided with a door that is movable between a closed position and an open position and backing plate that is configured to be engaged by a dock lock hook of a loading dock to limit movement of the lift system away from the loading dock. The door is configured to move from the cover position to the open position as the load platform moves from the use position to the stowed position.

A trailer for towing by a power vehicle is provided and generally includes a frame and a tandem wheel assembly. The frame forms an undercarriage chassis which the tandem wheel assembly is positioned there under. The undercarriage chassis includes a steerable rear wheel assembly, a steerable front wheel assembly, and an extension assembly moving the front wheel assembly between trailing position and a self-propelled position where the rear wheel assembly and the front wheel assembly are positioned to equally support the undercarriage chassis.
