Abstract: A portable hydraulic boom tool carrier adapted to be removably mounted on the bed of a pickup truck. The hydraulic boom tool carrier includes a self-contained hydraulic system mounted on the frame of the tool carrier. It also includes a pair of outrigger legs which can be extended below the tool carrier to the ground to provide support for the unit during worksite operations. The tool carrier can be easily mounted or removed from the flat bed of a pickup truck.

Abstract: A hydraulically operated load handling vehicle for open-top railway cars having four, three-way adjustable outriggers, each having a pair of wheel-like pads which ride along the sidewall tops of open-top railway cars. The corresponding wheel-like pads on the vehicle can be raised and lowered separately from the other corresponding pair so as to move across the space between adjacent railway cars in a string by a bridging action. The vehicle is provided with at least one crane, and preferably two cranes to load and unload the railway cars on which it is supported.
