A utility cart for maneuvering trailers and trailer accessories includes a base frame member, caster wheels mounted on an underside of the base frame member, a height adjustable hitch assembly, and a pair of handles extending upwardly from the base frame member. The hitch assembly is mounted to the central support members, and includes a vertical post extending upwardly from the support members and a telescoping frame member with a vertical sleeve that mates telescopically with the vertical post. The telescoping frame member includes a height adjustment mechanism that is operated by a hand crank, so that a user can turn the hand crank to raise or lower the height of the telescoping frame member. The utility cart may attach to trailers, trailer hitch accessories, or may be used as a docking station for the recreational vehicle loading and carrying apparatus set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 9,670,013.

A removable lift for a hand truck for providing lifting functions to a traditional hand truck. The removable lift includes a motor for causing a toe plate to move up or down. The motor and moving toe plate may be operated using a control panel.

A lift mechanism. The lift mechanism includes a base configured to support the lift mechanism in an upright position. A neck is upstanding from the base. A lift bracket is coupled to the neck. A coupling bracket includes a U-shape having a base and arms extending from opposing ends of the base. The base is coupled to the lift bracket. A linear actuator is configured to move the lift bracket up and down along the neck.

An aircraft jack and system is provided. The present aircraft jack may use electric, as opposed to hydraulic power. A scale may be incorporated into the jack to determine the lift load of the aircraft jack and a leveling device may be used to properly level the aircraft when lifted. A system of multiple jacks may allow the multiple aircraft jacks to communicate with each other and to synchronize movement electronically and automatically. A worm gear may also reduce the occurrence of collapse.

The jack stand assembly includes a coupling plate with a plurality of openings for receiving the lugs of a wheel hub to fixedly attach the coupling plate with the wheel hub. The coupling plate is operably supported by a support structure which has an adjustable height. The support structure is configured to rotate about a vertical axis to allow the wheel hub to be rotated in a steering motion when the wheel hub is fixedly attached with the coupling plate. A bearing assembly is interposed between the coupling plate and the support structure to allow the wheel hub to rotate about a horizontal axis.

A unit for handling an aircraft turbojet engine includes a frame, a front cradle and a rear cradle designed for supporting the turbojet engine, and a plurality of electric actuators. The cradles include devices for securing the turbojet engine. The plurality of electric actuators includes three electric actuators, where a first one and second one are arranged opposite each other, on either side of a longitudinal axis of the frame, connected to the front cradle and arranged for moving same in vertical translation, and where a third actuator is connected to the rear cradle and arranged for moving the same in vertical translation. The handling unit further includes a device for rotary driving of the front cradle about a longitudinal axis of the turbojet engine.

The hitch assembly is mounted to the central support members, and includes a vertical post extending upwardly from the support members and a telescoping frame member with a vertical sleeve that mates telescopically with the vertical post. The telescoping frame member includes a height adjustment mechanism that is operated by a hand crank, so that a user can turn the hand crank to raise or lower the height of the telescoping frame member. The utility cart may attach to trailers, trailer hitch accessories, or may be used as a docking station for the recreational vehicle loading and carrying apparatus set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 9,670,013.

Automated jackstand systems and methods deploy a jackstand to support a front end of a trailer parked at an automated loading dock. The jackstand prevents collapse of the trailer's landing gear and prevents upending of the trailer during loading and unloading. Advantageously, by deploying the jackstand automatically, presence of personnel in the yard where tractors and trailers are moving is not required.

The jack stand assembly includes a coupling plate with a plurality of openings for receiving the lugs of a wheel hub to fixedly attach the coupling plate with the wheel hub. The coupling plate is operably supported by a support structure which has an adjustable height. The support structure is configured to rotate about a vertical axis to allow the wheel hub to be rotated in a steering motion when the wheel hub is fixedly attached with the coupling plate. A bearing assembly is interposed between the coupling plate and the support structure to allow the wheel hub to rotate about a horizontal axis.

A vehicle traction jack that functions as a traction mat platform, ramp, and vehicle jack to assist a vehicle's tire when a tire is stuck in a rut, hole, or some sort of terrain or weather condition such as sand, gravel, dirt, mud, or snow is disclosed. The traction jack comprises a first plate and second plate, a hinge assembly, and a removable center jack mechanism. The first and second plates can extend to a partially-opened or fully-opened position forming a ramp and traction mat platform. The removable center jack mechanism attaches to first plate and second plate via pins. Easily stored in a vehicle at all times, a single user can use the traction jack to help move any type of vehicle's tire.
