  • Publication number: 20250074323
    Abstract: A cargo carrier releasably coupled to a hitch of a vehicle, the cargo carrier including: a frame including a first frame portion releasably coupled to the hitch and a second frame portion that is movable relative to the first frame portion; and a lifting assembly for alternatively raising and lowering the second frame portion relative to a grounded position, the lifting assembly including an electric motor that receives electrical current from a power source, and a drive mechanism driven by the electric motor to translate the second frame portion relative to the first frame portion to alternatively raise and lower the second frame portion relative to the grounded position, wherein the second frame portion is alternately connectable to a platform upon which cargo is storable and a power tool directly supported by the second frame portion without the platform.

  • Publication number: 20250031924
    Abstract: A jobsite storage system may include a vacuum device having a suction source configured to generate a suction airflow and a tank configured to receive debris via the suction airflow. A jobsite storage system may include a storage cart having: a base configured to support the vacuum device thereon, the base movable on a ground surface via a plurality of wheels, a handle extending upward from the base to a grip such that the storage cart is movable via an input of an operator to the grip, a first securing interface located on the base and configured to removably engage the vacuum device to secure the vacuum device to the base; a second securing interface located on the handle and configured to removably engage an accessory, and a third securing interface located on the vacuum device and configured to removably engage the accessory.

  • Publication number: 20240271578
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine-based system includes an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes an engine interrupt connected to the engine. The engine interrupt is configured to selectively stop the operation of the engine. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a controller in communication with the engine interrupt. The internal combustion engine-based system includes a carbon monoxide detector in communication with the controller. The controller uses the engine interrupt to stop the operation of the engine when the carbon monoxide detector provides the controller with signals that are representative of a carbon monoxide level proximate the internal combustion engine that together form a trend of building carbon monoxide amounts over a set time interval.

  • Publication number: 20240032750
    Abstract: A prefilter for a filter of a vacuum device 1 includes a frame extending in an axial direction between first and second axial extents. The frame includes a base located at the first axial extent, a first cylindrical ring extending axially from the base toward the second axial extent, a plurality of ribs extending from the first cylindrical ring towards the second axial extent and defining openings between the ribs, and a second cylindrical ring portion positioned at the second axial extent of the frame. The prefilter also includes a mesh layer comprising a plurality of mesh openings, the mesh layer coupled to the frame and configured to cover the openings to prevent debris larger than a size of the mesh openings from passing therethrough. The prefilter also includes an engagement feature coupled to the frame and configured to engage the filter to fasten the frame to the filter.

  • Publication number: 20240003358
    Abstract: A fan assembly includes a fan housing at least partially defining an airflow chamber, a plurality of fan blades positioned within the airflow chamber, a motor operable to rotate the plurality of fan blades, and a base configured to be placed on a support surface. The base includes a stand having a foot. The fan assembly further includes a frame assembly connecting the fan housing and the base. The frame assembly is movable to adjust a height of the fan housing relative to the base, and the foot is automatically deployed in response to movement of the frame assembly.
