Patent number: 9108556Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vertical hydraulic cylinder axle arrangement that can receive flexible power lines through the cylinder. In particular, a hollow piston rod having a longitudinally extending passage through which hydraulic hoses and electrical lines can pass is incorporated into a heavy-load transporter. A portion of the piston rod defines a splined shaft to mechanically engage a rotating slew gear drive to permit omnidirectional steering. The piston rod extends downward to form a trunnion mount on which drive wheels can articulate laterally to conform to irregularities in various surfaces and other inclinations.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2011Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: INTELLIPORT CORPORATIONInventor: Melvin Dean Terry

Patent number: 8813890Abstract: A self-loading tricycle transporter directed to 10-50 ton load ranges having a three-point tricycle type configuration providing superior suspension in terms of natural load contact on any type of surface condition. The tricycle transporter includes a fluid lifting suspension at each of three points. One point utilizes an on-center rotation fluid suspension axle assembly working in conjunction with solid elastomer tires at each end axle beam at the rear that attaches to the underside of the tricycle transporter platform with heavy fluid cylinder at each end. Accordingly, the three suspension points have the capability of being able to lift and lower to accommodate self-loading.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Intelliport CorporationInventor: Melvin Dean Terry
