MULTIDECK TRAILER
Disclosed is an example of a multideck trailer. In at least one nonlimiting example embodiment the multideck trailer has a first deck having an inclined surface and a substantially horizontal surface extending from the inclined surface. In this nonlimiting example embodiment the multideck trailer further includes a first pan arranged at a first side of the first deck and a second pan arranged at a second side of the first deck, the first and second pans being configured to receive wheels of a vehicle. In example embodiments the multideck trailer further includes a second deck attached to the first deck, the second deck having a substantially horizontal top surface. In addition, the multideck trailer includes a ramp pivotally supported.

INTEGRATED MOBILITY SYSTEM
An integrated mobility system includes at least one road module, at least one railway module adapted to contain a plurality of road modules therein, and a plurality of loading/unloading infrastructures arranged in a plurality of boarding and unboarding stations scattered over a territory to allow operations for boarding/unboarding the road modules from the railway module. The railway module can be a two-story high-speed railway module. The boarding/unboarding stations are equipped with the loading/unloading infrastructures arranged so that the operations for boarding/unboarding the road module with respect to the railway module are always possible regardless of the position occupied by the road module inside the railway module, and regardless of simultaneous boarding and unboarding of other road modules. The road module and the railway module are arranged to be automatically interconnected to each other in the condition in which the road module is received inside the railway module.
Breakaway system for captive beam system
A breakaway system for use with a decking system may include a bracket that is configured to be capable of sliding along a track and a carrier that is releasably coupled to the bracket. The bracket and the carrier may be configured to be separated when an upward force is applied upon the bracket and not upon the carrier.

System and method for reconfiguring an autorack
A method comprises removing a first deck of a plurality of decks and a second deck of the plurality of decks from an autorack. The method further comprises removing one or more of a plurality of posts of the autorack and coupling a cross-brace assembly to one or more of the plurality of posts, wherein the cross-brace assembly is coupled to the one or more of the plurality of posts at a location above an existing brace bay of the autorack. The method also comprises coupling the second deck of the plurality of decks to the autorack at a location above or below the cross-brace assembly.
Mobile Servicing Center
A mobile automobile service and charging Center 50 with a trailer opening to intake multiple vehicles simultaneously by using multiple walls extending to the exterior used to lift and transverse automobiles to the interior for service. Interior mechanisms are hydraulic, magnetic, and air pressure operated to further lift and modify the position of the vehicle in service. The interior includes multiple electric charging stations, an interactive maintenance display center, multiple automated sensing devices used to detect car type and diagnose malfunctions, internal/external part delivery portals, lounge, a restroom, conference room, and mechanic sanitation areas. In all configurations the mobile automobile service and charging Center is a powered double decker, solar power supplemented mobile trailer. When dispatched for diagnostic and maintenance the Center will externally to the trailer or internally lift automobiles to an appropriate height based on the best ergonomic position for the mechanic and transverse the vehicles in to the mobile Center based on sensor feedback and mechanic biometrics. The Center provides multiple options for service from below or above the automobile, with floors that lower and a roof that will open to allow for above automobile servicing. Telescopic and piston driven support chairs and platforms are internally deployed to allow mechanics an efficient ergonomic seating, standing, or lying position to provide service without discomfort. Contained within the mobile service center are sensors designed to diagnose, track automobile location and service history, track tools and to display technologies to facilitate high efficiency automobile service; such as alternator replacements, oil changes, battery charging, hose replacements, spark plug replacements and other diagnostic, service, and charging services. All data gathered by the interactive service Center is logged and analyzed by intelligent predicting software to provide customers with the best performance and service data for each Automobile that enters and exits the Center.
Tiltable vehicle lift
A vehicle lift includes a lift platform which can be selectively moved in a range between one or more raised positions which are level from the front to the rear and a lowered position where the lift platform is tilted for loading and unloading. A vehicle may be supported on the lift platform. The vehicle lift may be arranged in a trailer.
Car Hauler with Battery Powered Electric Actuators
A car hauler with battery powered electric actuators as the sole mechanism for positioning the vehicle decks. The electric actuator system completely replaces and eliminates the need for the traditional car hauler hydraulic system requiring pumps, valves, hydraulic hoses, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic fluid reservoir, and hydraulic fluid to position the vehicle decks. The electric actuators are self-locking and do not need to be pinned like traditional hydraulic actuators. The overall weight of the electric actuator system is much less than the hydraulic actuator system and permits complete loading and unloading of the car hauler without running the diesel tractor engine.
