A cart generally includes a body, a wheel assembly, first and second handles, and a scoop. The body defines an interior usable for holding materials. The body includes a forward portion and a rearward portion. The wheel assembly includes at least one axle and first and second wheels. Each of the first and second handles includes a handle portion to allow a user to move the cart and a leg portion for contacting a support surface. The scoop is rotatable relative to the body between a plurality of positions including at least a forward position and a rearward position. In the forward position, the scoop is adjacent the forward portion of the body, whereby the scoop increases carrying capacity of the cart. In the rearward position, the scoop is disposed at least partially over and/or adjacent the rearward portion of the body.

A vehicle system includes a chassis, a plurality of wheels coupled to the chassis and supporting the chassis for rolling on a surface, and a riding platform coupled to the chassis. The riding platform is for supporting a user behind the chassis when the riding platform is in a downward pivoted state. A linkage connects the riding platform to the chassis for selective pivotal motion relative to the chassis between an upward pivoted state in which the riding platform is pivoted into a position to allow a user to walk behind the chassis and a downward pivoted state in which the user may ride or step on the platform.

A novel logistics system is disclosed involving a roll container (100) with a base (110) and two elongated supports (120) that are supported by the base (110). The supports each have a plurality of individual slots (122) provided in a spaced apart configuration along the supports (120) for receiving a tab (133, 134) of a respective plurality of shelves (130) in a spaced apart configuration. The roll container may further include a folding mechanism between the base and the supports for turning the supports between an operational state and a folded state. In the operational state of the roll container the supports extend transversally in respect to the base. In the folded state of the roll container the supports extend parallel to the base.

A multi-shelf storage apparatus for storage of articles, comprising a wheeled base; a frame disposed on the wheeled base; a plurality of vertically-spaced shelves on the frame for providing a storage area for articles, each shelf configured to move vertically. The apparatus includes a lift mechanism disposed on the frame, coupled to the shelves, and configured to cause collapse and extension of the shelves in a vertical direction. The apparatus has an actuator on the frame operable to drive the lift mechanism, and a power interface on the frame and electrically connected to the actuator. The apparatus has a mechanical connection for connecting to a towing device and a first power interface integral to the mechanical connection such that the actuator can receive electrical power from the towing device. Systems comprising one or more of the apparatuses and methods for loading/unloading articles utilizing the apparatuses are also disclosed.

A tray assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a tray, at least one width reinforcement component affixed to the tray, and at least one length reinforcement component affixed to the at least one reinforcement component.

Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods associated with light mounting systems. Embodiments may include lighting shelves that are configured to be mounted to a fixed structure, such as to a wall or supports within a room via a cantilever design that is mounted to strut channels. The lighting shelves may be anchored at only a single end to the strut channels, and the lighting shelves may protrude away from the strut channels. The lighting shelves may have a sufficient width and length to cover an entire region of interest below the lighting shelves, which may enable to lighting shelves to uniformly distribute light to plants.

A wheeled hand truck incorporating a footplate; a segmented retainer flange; a left pin pivotally mounting a left segment of the retainer flange and allowing sliding flange motion to a clearance elevation; a right pin pivotally mounting a right segment of the retainer flange and allowing sliding flange motion to the clearance elevation; left and right stops extending downwardly from the left and right flange segments; and left and right pairs of sockets positioned for, upon alternative motions of the left and right flange segments toward and away from the clearance elevation, and upon forward and rearward pivoting of the left and right flange segments, alternately holding the left and right flange segments at laterally and forwardly extending positions.

An information processing apparatus disclosed has a controller equipped with at least one processor. The controller is configured to execute the processing of; when a vehicle body unit on which a cultivation field for cultivating a crop is mounted is laid at a first place, determining a time to remove defined as a time to remove the vehicle body unit from the first place to a second place other than the first place; and sending a transportation command to a chassis unit configured to be capable of travelling autonomously and being coupled to and decoupled from any vehicle body unit in accordance with the time to remove, the transportation command being a command to transport the vehicle body unit from the first place to the second place.
