Abstract: Pontoon forks are specifically designed for the marine industry to efficiently and safely lift and maneuver pontoon boats. The pontoon forks are engineered to lift tri-toons and pontoon boats of lengths up to and greater than twenty-eight feet. The forks can further accommodate weights of up to and greater than six-thousand pounds. Removable pockets included with the pontoon forks allow for the lifting and transport of pontoon boats of various sizes without having to have specialized equipment for each and every make and model of the pontoon boat. The pontoon forks are retrofit to fit specific forklifts already owned or easily acquired by marinas.

Abstract: A boat hoist including a vertical frame and a horizontally disposed movable platform, with the platform movable between a lowered and boat unload position and a raised, boat load position. A cable system transmits force to move the movable platform. The cable system is operated and force transmitted to it, by a hydraulic drive unit, thus eliminating problems with electrically operated drive bar units. This results in the ability to lift heavier boats with less power and faster times.

Abstract: A rock picker for use with all terrain vehicles and lawn and garden tractors that has a generally horizontal movable frame with one or more operative wheels secured to the frame. The frame holds a rock holding receptacle that is tiltable for rock dumping. A towing tongue is mounted to the forward end of the frame. Also mounted to the frame in a position such that it can be moved from a rock pick up position to a rock unload position dumping the rocks into the rock holding receptacle is tiltable rock scoop. As the picker is towed forward, the scoop scoops up the rocks and it can be hydraulically activated to dump the rocks into the rock holding receptacle or basket. In turn, the rocks can be dumped from there once carried away from the area from which the rocks are cleared.

Abstract: A reversible boat bumper for attachment to dock poles to allow accommodation for a high water position and a low water position. The bumper has an elongated bumper support plate and attached to it a bumper cushion. A pair of spaced apart releasable gripping dock brackets are attached to the side of the support plate opposite the bumper cushion, with a bracket being positioned adjacent one end and another approximately at mid-point along the elongated support plate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method transporting an attachment, such as a box blade assembly, which is secured to a land based vehicle has a box blade and a transporting mechanism. The box blade is made up of two opposing side walls, an open top and bottom, and front and rear sides. The walls are connected using frame members and a cutting surface extends between the side walls and below the bottom edge of the side walls. The transporting mechanism is comprised of a movable frame member rotatably secured to the rear of the box blade at one end and operatively secured to one or more wheels at the other end. A lifting member, which may be a hydraulic cylinder or hand crank, is operatively secured to the movable frame member and to the top of the box blade. Using a single point of attachment hitch, such as a ball type hitch, the box blade may still be lifted from the work surface for easy transport, and then easily lowered for use on a work surface.
