CART AND RACK ASSEMBLY
A cart and rack assembly for transporting a planar material includes a rack and a cart. The rack includes a frame coupled to a base. The frame has an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion has a first width, and the lower portion has a second width. The cart is configured to reversibly receive the base. The cart includes a guide member configured to guide either of the base or the cart into a predetermined position when the base is received by the cart. The assembly further includes a bracket having a first end and a second end which is configured to selectively secure the planar material to the assembly. The base has a series of apertures configured to accept the first end of the bracket. The second end of the bracket is configured to be selectively coupled with the upper portion of the frame.
Dolly and method of manipulating same
A dolly includes a frame having an axle extending between dolly wheels and defining a pivot axis. The frame has a support member with a ground-engaging element spaced apart from the dolly wheels. A lever arm is mounted to the frame and extends to a handle. The lever arm is positioned on a first side of the axle. A container support is mounted to the frame on the first side of the axle. The handle is manipulable to pivot the support member, the lever arm, and the container support about the pivot axis between at least a storage position and a discharge position. In the storage position, the container axis has an upright orientation and the ground-engaging element is spaced from the ground surface. In the discharge position, the container axis has an orientation being substantially parallel to the ground surface, and the ground-engaging element abuts against the ground surface.
HOSPITAL CART FOR TRANSPORTING A CYLINDER OF GAS, IN PARTICULAR OF MEDICAL NO
Disclosed is a mobile cart including a base for accommodating one or more gas cylinders, castors, a main column extending upwards from the base, a stowage cabinet arranged along the main column, an anchoring structure arranged at an upper end of the main column, a support post carried by the anchoring structure and equipped with fixing unit for a gas delivery apparatus, and a manual gripping handle allowing a user to manipulate the cart. Use of such a mobile cart to transport one or more cylinders of gas, in particular a NO/N2 mixture and/or oxygen, and a gas delivery apparatus.
Crate transporter
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.
Cart and rack assembly
A cart and rack assembly for transporting a planar material includes a rack and a cart. The rack includes a frame coupled to a base. The frame has an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion has a first width, and the lower portion has a second width. The cart is configured to reversibly receive the base. The cart includes a guide member configured to guide either of the base or the cart into a predetermined position when the base is received by the cart. The assembly further includes a bracket having a first end and a second end which is configured to selectively secure the planar material to the assembly. The base has a series of apertures configured to accept the first end of the bracket. The second end of the bracket is configured to be selectively coupled with the upper portion of the frame.
High capacity cargo and container dolly
A high capacity cargo/container dolly. The cargo/container dolly includes retractable side stops that actively retract a roller linkage assembly upon retraction of the retractable side stops rather than relying on passive gravitational forces for the retraction. In some embodiments, the retractable side stops are configured to avoid hold up on the cargo during retraction. The retractable side stops may be coupled to a retraction mechanism that may be actuated from either side of the cargo/container dolly, as well as from one or both ends of the cargo/container dolly. The dolly may include aspects that accommodates dynamic loads that occur during transport to mitigate inadvertent retraction of the retractable side stops or spurious release of catch assemblies that retains cargo on the dolly. The dolly may also include self-locking roller assemblies that release only in the presence of cargo, and deck modules that protect the deck roller from road spray contamination.
Folding shelf carriage
An apparatus for carrying and/or storing shelves which is capable of folding into a compact condition to minimize the footprint of the device when not in use for carrying or storing shelves. The apparatus includes a releasable transverse cross member extending between the side frames to form a base for supporting shelves.
SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING, TRANSFERRING, AND/OR STORING GOODS
A system for transporting, transferring, or storing goods including stackable receiving containers, wherein stacking structures in a region of the container bases and mating structures in an upper edge region of a side wall interact to lockably stack receiving containers one on top of the other. At least one roll transport unit has a set-up surface for a receiving container and roller transport unit which connect to longitudinal ends of an adjustable length locking bar. A retaining structure is provided on a first longitudinal end of the locking bar for connecting to the upper edge of the receiving container. A retaining structure is provided on the second longitudinal end of the locking bar for connecting to a mating structure on the roller transport unit. The locking bar has a releasable fixing mechanism for limiting the locking bar length and setting the length to a selected dimension.
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.
CARRYING DEVICE FOR AN END USER OF A WALKER
A carrying device is provided to carry at least one article for an end user of a walker while the end user is utilizing the walker. The carrying device includes a base having a first end, a second end, and a carrying surface extending between the first and second ends. The carrying surface is adapted to removably retain the at least one article for the end user. The carrying device further includes a support arm coupled to and extending outwardly from the second end of the base. The support arm is configured to support the at least one article when the at least one article is retained on the carrying surface at a position proximate to the second end of the base.
