Abstract: A welding system that includes a remote control device and a welding power supply is disclosed. The remote control device includes a user input to select at least a welding mode of the welding system and a transmitter to wirelessly transmit signals representing at least the welding mode. The welding power supply includes a receiver unit and an antenna to wirelessly receive the transmitted signals and a controller to control at least the welding mode in response to the transmitted signals as received.

Abstract: The invention described herein generally pertains to batteries for a welding operation having insulating structure thereabout. Particularly, various welding batteries can be provided one one or more battery wraps that can be opened or closed to increase or decrease the insulating effect thereof. In some embodiments, battery wraps can be integrated with batteries used in hybrid welders.

Abstract: The invention described herein generally pertains to a system and method for utilizing a power source of an engine driven welder as a portion of a power supply for a hydraulic device associated with a vehicle. The hydraulic device can be incorporated into a vehicle, a stand-alone device, or a combination thereof. One or more controllers can manage power distribution and identify power sources for the hydraulic device based upon a parameter.

Abstract: An engine driven welding machine that includes a frame with lower tubular portions that extend across the ends of the frame. The lower tubular portions make it easier to lift the engine driven welding machine onto an elevated surface, such as the bed of a truck. The frame may include two different lifting portions that extend across the same side or end of the frame at different levels. For example, two tubular portions of the frame may extend generally horizontally across the same side or end of the frame to provide two lifting areas at different levels of the frame.
