A wind turbine blade apparatus comprising a root device including: a base having an upper surface with a radius of curvature and configured to receive a root portion of a blade, with housings disposed on lateral sides of the base. The housings including a groove configured to receive a bearing and a shaft extending at least partially through the base and housing. A tip device is also provided which includes a base, a rotatable support frame having: a first support configured to receive a pressure side of a wind turbine blade, a second support configured to receive a suction side of a wind turbine blade, and an opening, the opening configured to receive a portion of a wind turbine blade.

A wind turbine blade handling apparatus for rotating and lifting a blade. The apparatus includes a root device having a root support member with a concave upper surface and rollers having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the blade and configured to rotate the blade; a base, and a scissor-lift mechanism with intersecting struts which converts from a lowered position wherein the struts are disposed in a generally coplanar configuration, to an elevated position wherein the struts are disposed in an angled configuration.

A concrete/cement resurfacing machine integrates a dust collection subsystem and an overlay mixing/distribution subsystem, enabling a single operator to steer the machine to a desired floor location and deposit mixed, cementitious overlay material. The combination of dust collection and overlay mixing saves considerable time and achieves improved results, eliminating the need for separate vacuum machines while reducing the risk that dust will be released as bags of dry ingredients are added to the mixing tank. A single propane engine powers a hydraulic pump, with fluid being routed to three separate hydraulic motors with associated control valves to provide for forward/reverse locomotion, bidirectional paddle mixing, and vacuum generation. The dust collection system is preferably a two-stage system including a vacuum collection tank and a HEPA filter.

A wind turbine blade rotating and braking apparatus comprising: a root device including: a root support member having an upper surface with a radius of curvature and configured to receive a portion (e.g. root) of a wind turbine blade, rollers having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the blade and configured to rotate the blade; braking mount on the sides of the root support member; and a braking mechanism (e.g. strap or band) fixedly attached to the first mount, releasably attached to the second mount and extending above the blade to apply a braking force to the blade. Once applied, the braking force can be maintained by a locking pin.

A transport cart and a method using a transport cart transports objects or animal carcasses. The transport cart has a loading trough which has a region which is arranged on a side of the loading trough facing away from a handlebar and/or from at least one handle, wherein the region has at least one loading and/or unloading device, thus making loading and/or unloading possible such that the object which is to be transported or the transported object or the animal carcass which is to be transported or the transported animal carcass does not have to be touched by an operator.

A conveyance device including a frame and at least one wheel coupled to the frame. The device further includes a storage compartment coupled to the frame, where the storage compartment has a pair of opposed side walls configured such that at least a portion of at least one side wall has an upper edge that is less than 49 inches above a bottom of the wheel to enable manual loading of the storage compartment. The conveyance device further includes a conveyor positioned in the storage compartment, wherein the conveyor is positioned to convey items in the storage compartment at least partially upwardly and out of the storage compartment.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a cart frame and modular, motorized cart. In some examples, the cart frame may comprise a wheel assembly, handles, and a kickstand. A modular article (e.g., litter, stretcher, game basket, etc.) may be attached to the top portion of the cart frame via at least one fastener (e.g., buttons, snaps, hooks, buckles, quick-detach mounts, etc.). The handles may be foldable and extendable. The kickstands may also be foldable and extendable. The handles, in some embodiments, may serve a dual purpose by folding to a certain length to function as a kickstand. In other examples, the cart may comprise an engine that may be gas-powered or electric. A battery may be affixed to the cart frame that powers the electric engine. Other objects may also be attached to the cart frame or modular article, such as a winch, tow bar, light, bumper, etc.

A wind turbine blade suspension and rotation device capable of raising and lowering the blade includes a blade housing configured to receive a blade and having at least one guide on an exterior surface; a base; a first telescopic frame disposed on a first side of the base; a second telescopic frame disposed on a second side of the base; at least one adjustable strap, the adjustable strap disposed between the adjustable frames; wherein the at least one strap extends through the guide on the exterior surface of the housing to suspend the blade.

A wheelbarrow with multiple wheels on a front axle is provided. The wheelbarrow includes a cargo carrying portion, two load carrying members supporting the cargo carrying portion, and a motor providing an output torque. The wheelbarrow further includes the front axle attached to the two load carrying members, a middle wheel attached to the axle and receiving the output torque from the motor, and two side wheels attached to the axle, one on either side of the middle wheel wherein the two side wheels each have a smaller diameter than the middle wheel.
