Ground and ladder transport apparatus
Material transport equipment includes first and second pairs of main wheels and first and second pairs of extension wheels rotatably attached to a frame. The main wheels have a diameter greater than the extension wheels and are spaced further apart than the extension wheels. The main wheels and the extension wheels are adapted to roll on the rails of a main section and of an extension, respectively, of an extension ladder. The equipment may be used as a hand truck for carrying a payload on ground wheels rolling on the ground. The apparatus may then be leaned to position main wheels of the apparatus onto rails of a main section of an extension ladder. Extension wheels on the apparatus move onto rails of the extension of the ladder as the apparatus moves up from the main section onto the extension using a rope or cable.
Convertible, all-terrain gear cart
A convertible, all-terrain gear cart convertible between modes of manual propulsion, trailering, and support by a motor vehicle. A control arm with a trailer hitch connector permits trailering or manual propulsion and is pivotally coupled to a first end of a cargo bin, and a vehicle engaging member to permit support and transport by a motor vehicle projects from the second end of the cargo bin. Detachable, all-terrain wheels with lateral axes of rotation are retained at a mid-portion of the cargo bin. Cargo retention and roll bars are removably coupled to the cargo bin, and a retractable support leg can cooperate with the wheels to stabilize the gear cart. The vehicle engaging member can comprise a receiver with a mitered end forming a shelf that can be rested on a rigid tongue of a trailer hitch adapter to permit levering of the gear cart relative to a vehicle.
ATTACHMENT AND SUPPORT MEMBERS FOR MODULAR BUILDING STRUCTURES
Systems and methods are provided for securing a transport device to preexisting studs or support members. One embodiment includes a clamp assembly with a compression fitting adapted to be secured to a plurality of different sized studs or wall supports, and further to support additional supports including, but not limited, horizontal support members. A transport device is further provided that is selectively connectable to clamp and support members of the disclosure. In another embodiment, a hook bracket is provided which includes a projection configured to be positioned in a hole through a stud. The extension may include a notch to engage a portion of the stud. The hook bracket includes at least one aperture adapted to secure the hook bracket to a support member operatively interconnected to the transport device.
SPORTS EQUIPMENT CARRYING SYSTEM
A sport equipment carrying system that allows items such as baseball bats, balls, or rackets to be carried, organized and stored. The system has an ice chest to carry drinks or food to be consumed while participating in sporting events. The ice chest is attached to an external enclosure via a snap-on frame.
SYSTEM FOR INCREASING DOLLY CAPACITY
A dolly for transporting goods. The dolly includes a frame, a wheel assembly mounted on the frame, and a baseplate extending from the frame. The baseplate has a horizontal portion extending forward from the frame and a vertical portion extending upward from the horizontal portion. The dolly includes a handgrip attached to the frame for maneuvering the dolly and an upper support bar removably attached to and extending laterally across the frame at a pre-determined height above the baseplate. The upper support bar having a length greater than the width of the frame. The dolly includes a lower support bar removably attached to and extending laterally across the vertical portion of the baseplate. The lower support bar has a length greater than the width of the baseplate.
TRANSPORT DOLLY FOR A SNOWMOBILE SKI
Dollies support steered skis of a snowmobile on wheels to enable the snowmobile to be moved along an underlying surface with carbides on the bottom surfaces of the skis free of contact with the underlying surface.
MOBILE EXTRACTION ASSEMBLY
A mobile extraction assembly includes a sled with a tow line secured to a front end of the sled. The mobile extraction assembly also includes a cart including a frame, a winch, and a pulley. The frame defines a track for receiving and supporting the sled. The winch is mounted to the frame underneath the track. The pulley is vertically disposed in line with or above the track, where the tow line is secured to the winch and routed around the pulley between the winch and the sled. This allows retraction of the tow line by the winch to draw the sled to the cart and onto the track of the cart in a direction towards the pulley.
Wheeled ladder caddy
A wheeled ladder caddy is provided. The caddy can transport one or more long and slender items thereon. The caddy has a base and a mount coupled to the base and extending away therefrom. The mount defines a cavity therein. The caddy may also include a securing mechanism coupled to the base, the securing mechanism including an engagement member and a fastener, wherein the fastener can transition between a first position and a second position to position the engagement member with respect to the base. The item may be placed in the caddy such that the cavity receives a part of the item and the securing mechanism receives a second part. The fastener can transition from the first position to the second position to translate the engagement member toward the base to retain the item between the engagement member and the base.
DECORATIVE TREE STORAGE CONTAINER
A decorative tree storage container including an enclosure having a proximal end, a distal end, and an underside surface, is provided, and described. The storage container can be sized to hold a decorative tree, and can include one or more wheels coupled to the enclosure and positioned at a wheel location between the proximal end and the distal end that increases the clearance between the underside surface of the enclosure and a supporting surface when a decorative tree is in the enclosure and a user is lifting the proximal end by the handle.
Ladder tree stand dolly and method
Apparatus and method for transporting a section of a ladder tree stand or a stack of ladder tree stand sections and for transporting a harvested big game animal. The apparatus consists of a frame, a single wheel, an axle and a clamp. The axle is attached to the frame and the wheel is mounted on the axle. The clamp is used for clamping the frame to a ladder tree stand section or sections so that a hunter can transport the ladder tree stand section or sections by pushing or pulling the ladder tree stand section or sections on the wheel of the frame.
