| 414425000 | Upending (e.g., rocking or tilting about end, etc.) | 10 |
| 20090257853 | APPARATUS FOR TIPPING INTERMODAL CONTAINERS - An intermodal container tipping apparatus includes an upper support structure configured to be releasably mounted to a container transfer device, such as a reach stacker or crane, and a second support structure configured to be releasably mounted to an intermodal container. The lower supports structure includes at least one arcuate beam. The at least one arcuate beam attaches the lower support structure to the upper support structure. Movement of the at least one arcuate beam relative to the upper support structure causes tipping of the lower support structure and any load attached thereto while substantially maintaining a relative position of the center of gravity of the load. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090297305 | MATERIAL HANDLING DEVICE - A material handling device may be configured to move and deliver a variety of materials throughout a worksite. The material handling device may be configured to be supported on a variety of vehicle platforms. Once the material handling device has been transported, the materials may be dumped from the material handling device. The dumping process may be initiated through the use of an actuator. The material handling device may comprise a dump body and a base frame. The dump body may be configured to be hingedly attached to the base frame. The base frame may comprise at least one first tube and at least one second tube. Both the first tube and the second tube may be configured to receive a fork and/or any other suitable support structure from a vehicle. The material handling device may comprise an actuator, a pump, and a reservoir which may be positioned within an actuator system area. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090311081 | Container Tilting Apparatus - The present invention relates to a container tilting apparatus which includes at least one base section, and at least two tilt arms, with each of said tilt arms being pivotably connected to a base section. The apparatus also includes at least two container locks with each container luck being configured to engage a tilt arm with a side wall of a container. Also included is at least one tilt arm drive configured to pivot a tilt arm relative to a base section. The apparatus is arranged so that at least one tilt arm is pivotably connected to a base section at a point offset from the centre of the tilt arm. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100221091 | HINGED BASE FOR POSITIONING HEAVY COMPONENTS - According to one embodiment, an apparatus for tilting objects includes a lower portion which comprises at least one foot plate and at least three supporting walls. A height of the top of the lower portion is about the height of a supporting structure. The apparatus also includes an upper portion which comprises a substantially flat surface and at least one connector for coupling a node carrier to the upper portion. The upper portion is coupled to the lower portion, and the upper portion tilts relative to the lower portion between an angle about horizontal to an angle about vertical. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110033272 | Recycle container transfer vehicle - A wheeled vehicle such as a truck or trailer is disclosed including an apparatus thereon which may be connected to a recycle container so that the recycle container may be lifted from the ground onto the vehicle and then transported to a processing site. Once at the processing site, the apparatus causes the refuse container to be pivotally moved with respect to the vehicle so that the contents of the container are dumped from the container without the removal of the container from the vehicle. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110064550 | Remote Hopper Release - A remote trip lever release system for application to a self dumping hopper having a base platform, a rotatable dump body mounted thereto and a latching mechanism having a trip lever engageable with a locking pin on the dump body and configured to control the rotation of the dump body thereon is provided. The trip lever release system includes a base assembly comprising a longitudinally extending hollow member mountable to the base platform. An extendable release arm is moveable within the hollow member from a closed or compact position to an open or extended position to lengthen the release system. A release cable has a first end, engageable with the trip lever of the latching mechanism, and a second end. The release cable is operable from the second end to disengage the trip lever from the locking pin on the dump body. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110085879 | PORTABLE BIN - A bin, including a receptacle movable between a first condition of use for loading and a second condition of use in which it can be engaged for emptying; and attachment means including first and second elongate sleeves for engagement by respective forks of a front lift truck, wherein in the second condition of use the receptacle is arranged in a manner whereby forks of a front lift truck can engage respective sleeves of the attachment means so that the bin can be lifted and emptied by the truck. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20130189058 | SYSTEM FOR TURNING A CARGO CARRIER AS WELL AS A TRANSPORT DEVICE PROVIDED WITH A LOOSE CARGO CARRIER - The invention relates to a system for turning a cargo carrier ( | 07-25-2013 |
| 20130216342 | System and Method for Unwrapping Round Modules - A round module unwrapping method is disclosed. Said round module unwrapping method comprising: supporting one or more round modules on a module feeder floor of a round module unwrapping system, detaching a first flap from a second flap of a module wrapper of said round modules, and pulling said second flap of said module wrapper. Said round module unwrapping system comprises a module feeder floor, a first side and a second side. Each of said round modules comprise a module wrapper holding a packed fibrous material. Each of said round modules comprise a first side, a second side, a front, a back, a top, and a bottom. Each of said module wrappers comprise said first flap, said second flap, an inside surface, and an outside surface. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20150037124 | APPARATUS FOR TIPPING CONTAINERS OR MOVABLE CASES - An apparatus for coupling and tipping in air a container or a movable case to unload its contents is described. Said apparatus comprises an upper frame coupled to lifting means and a lower frame coupled to a container, where the two frames are connected to each other by hinges at one end, and by a piston device at the other end, the piston device being capable of separating the two frames by a given angle between a closed resting position and an open working position. | 02-05-2015 |
