A industrial truck with a drive part, which has a driver stand that has an L-shaped stand platform with a horizontally arranged floor element and a vertically arranged wall element, wherein the floor element is spring-mounted on the drive part by means of at least one spring element and a swing arm, and the wall element has a coupling element that acts on the movement of the stand platform.

A steerable, self-propelled cart for safely delivering heavy loads, such as concrete, within job sites with unlevel, irregular, or sloped terrain. A cargo bucket is tiltable over front drive wheels for transporting and dumping cargo. Hydraulic drive motors driven by a hydraulic pump propel rear wheels at a selectable speed. Steering handlebars rotate a steering column that turns the rear wheels. A throttle cable extending from the handlebars controls the throttle setting by pivoting a throttle lever mounted on the hydraulic pump. Limiting linkages extend from flanges on an anchor bracket secured to the steering column to a bridge on the throttle lever. As the steering column rotates, the limit linkages are wound partially about it, pivoting the throttle lever by pulling on the bridge, reducing pump speed. Heavy steering displacements will retract the throttle lever to reduce cart speed notwithstanding the previous speed setting chosen by the operator via the cable.

Various embodiments herein relate to powered pusher devices configured to push wheeled objects from one location to another. Further embodiments relate to wheeled objects such as carts for transporting items from one location to another. Other embodiments relate to platform powered pushers that can be coupled to a family of various wheeled objects.

An articulating cart system which utilizes an articulating frame to effectively maneuver within tight spaces and a low-elevation platform to ease mounting and dismounting the cart. The articulating cart system generally includes a front frame and a rear frame. A platform is connected to the front frame so that the platform pivots or articulates along with the front frame with respect to the rear frame. A joystick controller may be provided which allows one-handed operation. One or more actuators may be connected between the rear frame and the front frame for pivoting the front frame with respect to the rear frame. A motor is provided to power the actuators and frame wheels. The platform is close to the ground to ease access for the operator. Utilizing the articulating frame, the present invention may traverse much tighter spaces and turns than is possible with previous cart systems.

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.

A motorized golfboard with bi-axle four wheel steering controlled by the horizontal force applied to a stability bar extending vertically from golfboard's frame. Steering this way is accomplished using three design features. First, a vertically angled pivot point behind the front wheel assembly and one in front of the rear wheel assembly. Second, structurally, the front and rear axles lie beyond the front and rear of the golfboard deck and frame. Third, the pivot points are centered on spring plates extending angularly upward from the horizontal, bottom face of the frame of the golfboard, so as to be disposed at an acute angle with respect to the deck of the golfboard. In combination, these three features work to allow the inboard wheels to move closer together and the outboard wheels to move further apart when the stability bar is forced to the side.

A standing riding golf bag cart (10) is provided for transporting a passenger and a golf bag (13) around a golf course. The cart (10) is adapted to covert between an expanded mode (12) for usage and a compact mode (14), for storage. The cart includes a base tube (22), a front carriage subassembly (24), a steering subassembly (26); a bag support subassembly (28); a central support subassembly (30), and a rear drive subassembly (32). The central support subassembly (30) is provided with running boards (80) upon which the passenger stands. The cart (10) is propelled by a pair of rear drive wheels (86) each having an associated electric motor (88) controlled by the passenger using a throttle control (94).

A speed reducing device for a carriage includes: a base fixed to a carriage body; a carrier fixed to the base; a case to which a wheel is detachably attached; a reducer that is supported by the carrier, decelerates power input thereto, and transmits the power to the case to rotate the case; and a flange fixed to the base or the carriage body and separately provided from the carrier. The flange supports a brake unit that is for braking the power input to the reducer.
