20090212516 | HAND TRUCK WITH ACTIVE IDENTIFIER(S) - A hand truck for carrying and transporting loads includes a frame, one or more wheels, and one or more active identifiers. The wheels are connected to the frame for moving the hand truck place to place. In one embodiment, the active identifier(s) includes a housing with a base connected to the frame and with a cover removably connected to the base. The active identifier(s) includes one or more light sources supported by the housing and enclosed by the cover. The active identifier(s) includes a power source supported by the housing in order to provide power to the light source(s). | 08-27-2009 |
20100095875 | PALLET WITH FLOOR CLEARANCE - A pallet may include a deck having a load carrying surface and a lower surface, and at least two spaced apart support legs. The legs may have one or more passages formed therethrough at a level beneath the lower surface of the deck to enable receipt of packaging material through the legs and beneath the deck to facilitate securing an object to the deck. The legs and deck may be made out of plastic materials, and may be formed in one-piece or in separate pieces connected together by complementary and mated connection features. The deck may include a plurality of friction elements adapted to engage an object on the deck to, for example, reduce slippage of the object relative to the deck. | 04-22-2010 |
20100096820 | CART WITH MOVABLE PLATFORM - A cart may include a frame, a plurality of wheels carried by the frame, a platform movably carried by the frame, and a lift assembly. The lift assembly may be carried at least in part by the frame and operably associated with the platform to move the platform relative to the frame. The lift assembly may include at least one hydraulic actuator having a piston rod movable under hydraulic pressure to move the platform relative to the frame. | 04-22-2010 |
20120098218 | BRAKE PADDLE HAND TRUCK - A brake paddle hand truck comprising a hand truck with a frame with a handle at the top and wheels at the bottom, and a braking device comprising an actuator, a brake paddle, and a connector operatively attaching the actuator and brake. The actuator and brake are each pivotally mounted to the side rails of the frame via mounting brackets. The actuator includes a lever to increase the force applied by a user. Preferably two independently rotatable brake paddles, having a lever member and a brake member are provided, and the lever members are connected to the actuator via an upside-down Y-shaped connector. When the actuator is raised, the connector transfers the upward force to brake lever members, which are also raised, causing the brake members to be lowered into contact with the wheels. | 04-26-2012 |
20120319063 | CART WITH MOVABLE PLATFORM - A cart may include a frame, a plurality of wheels carried by the frame, a platform movably carried by the frame, and a lift assembly. The lift assembly may be carried at least in part by the frame and operably associated with the platform to move the platform relative to the frame. The lift assembly may include at least one hydraulic actuator having a piston rod movable under hydraulic pressure to move the platform relative to the frame. | 12-20-2012 |
20130202400 | PALLET TRUCK ADAPTER - A pallet truck adapter having side by side shoes for fitting over pallet supporting tines, in which the shoes are of different heights. This facilitates locating one pallet on the higher shoe, lifting it slightly off of the supporting surface, and then moving to and lifting another pallet on the lower shoe. The adjacent pallets can then be moved together and off loaded at different locations, unloading the pallet on the lower shoe first, and the pallet on the higher shoe thereafter. | 08-08-2013 |
