A cart includes a frame, a holding portion supported by the frame and in which a product is stored, a lifting unit configured to raise and lower the holding portion, an imaging device directed towards an inside of the holding portion, and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire an image of a product captured by the imaging device, determine whether the product has been continuously imaged by the imaging device over a predetermined time period, and upon determining that the product has been imaged over the predetermined time period, control the lifting unit to lower the holding portion.

A material transport cart includes a cart body, a material support body coupled to the cart body, a wheel coupled to the cart body, a motor operable to drive the wheel, and a powered lift assembly. The powered lift assembly is coupled to the cart body and to the material support body. The powered lift assembly is operable to lift the material support body relative to the cart body. A removable battery is electrically coupled to and operable to supply power to both the motor and the powered lift assembly.

Embodiments for a single user truck loader. A platform is configured to receive placement of a load. Wheels are disposed at locations of the platform. A dolly mechanism is disposed in a cavity formed in the platform. Sidewalls of the platform house the cavity. The cavity of the platform is configured to receive a lift deck of a lifting mechanism.

A working machine may include a battery box and a battery detachably attached to the battery box. The battery box may include a top cover, and a battery cover having a shape that covers the battery attached to the battery box and being pivotable about a pivot axis with respect to the top cover. When the battery box is viewed in a top plan view in an open state in which the battery cover is open, the battery cover and the top cover may at least partially overlap with each other. When the battery box is viewed in the top plan view in a closed state in which the battery cover is closed, the battery cover and the top cover may at least partially overlap with each other.

Various devices and techniques related to equipment transporters are generally described. In some examples, an equipment transporter may comprise a first set of wheels rotatable around an axis of rotation and a body coupled to and rotatably supported by the first set of wheels such that the body is rotatable around the axis of rotation of the first set of wheels. The body may comprise a platform having an upper surface and extending in a first direction. The platform may have a distal end and a proximal end. The body may comprise a tab member located at the distal end of the platform and extending upward from the upper surface. In some examples, the tab member may comprise a pulling face having a first width. In some examples, the body may further comprise a riser located at the proximal end of the platform and extending upward from the upper surface.

A raisable and lowerable storage system is provided comprising a steel container with multiple compartments, a scissor lift device attached to at least a bottom area of the container, wheels attached to a lower area of the scissor lift device. The scissor lift device raises and lowers the container to a desired level. The scissor lift device raises the container to a maximum height of about eight feet. The wheels support the container as the container is placed into a bed area of a vehicle for transportation. The wheels roll along tracks attached to the bed area of the vehicle. The container is secured before the vehicle begins moving to prevent the container from rolling about as the vehicle moves. A battery in the container is charged while the container is in a secured position and the vehicle moves.

A universal use jack for a dolly is disclosed herein. The present invention not only allows one person to lift a trailer tongue but also allows the trailer to be maneuvered slightly right, left, forward or back so the trailer tongue can be positioned over the ball without having to reposition the vehicle. This, and other uses, are detailed in the present disclosure.

A lightweight, manually portable load carrying device with two wheels can raise and lower light to medium loads placed on its nose plate, using the torque of an electric motor. By this means, the traditional nose plate is used as a “lift plate,” and cargo can be raised or lowered to be placed in or taken out of motor vehicles, or onto and off of ledges, tables, counters or shelves, or any other elevated platform which would otherwise require manual lifting to reach.

The present disclosure provides a conveyance system and the like capable of preferably conveying a conveyed object in accordance with a state of the conveyed object. The conveyance system includes a conveyance robot, a drive controller, which is a controller, an image data acquisition unit, and a setting unit. The conveyance robot conveys the conveyed object. The drive controller controls an operation of the conveyance robot. The image data acquisition unit acquires image data obtained by capturing images of the conveyed object. The setting unit sets an operation parameter of the conveyance robot in the drive controller based on the acquired image data.

Lifting machinery is often unable to securely hold onto stacked crates and this presents a safety hazard. The invention may be embodied by a crate lifter 1 comprising a support mast 3, a carriage 8 engaged with the mast and rollers 6, 7 that enable the lifter to be moved. The carriage has clamps 9 that move laterally to grip one or more crates 2 so that they can be moved by the carriage up and down the mast. The carriage has a keeper 14 arranged to swing in response to the clamps 9 engaging the crate 2, or the lowest crate to be moved if there is more than one, to bring a ledge 14b of the keeper 14 into engagement with that crate to prevent it dropping free from the carriage.
