Abstract: A transport system may be provided for transporting spools of flexible material, such as wire or tubing, about a construction site and for dispensing the material from a spool rotatingly mounted on an angled support of the transport system. The angled support may form an acute angle at its lower end with a central member of a mobile assembly and an acute angle at its upper end and a central member of an upper assembly, so that the angled support and central members are vertically coplanar along a longitudinal centerline of the transport system. In this manner, more spools of material may be carried between the extents of the central members than would be possible if the angled supports were perpendicular to the central members. Furthermore, the angled supports may resist racking forces resulting from longitudinal movement of the system and from resistance to dispensing of material from the spools.

Abstract: Methods and devices for loading, deploying, and receiving concertina-wire barriers along paths with varying travel or paths located at a distance to the access track of a transport vehicle. The first method includes loading a concertina-wire coil arrangement directly into carry tines and adjusting the tine tilt during deployment to reflect the changing gradient. An anchored portion of the wire stretches each coil longitudinally into its operative configuration and position as the transport vehicle advances.

Retrieval for both methods is accomplished by inserting the carry tines in the space circumscribed by the deployed coils so that as the transport vehicle advances the coil arrangement is removed from its deployment location and pressed together onto the tines thereby being disposed for the next deployment.
