Abstract: A forklift fork grabber mechanism is provided for clamping forks to a load by applying tensile or compressive force between a forklift attachment and the forks using a motor or other electromechanical means. The provided apparatus, system and method comprise proximity sensors; and, in some embodiments, a camera.

Abstract: A storage and handling rack is disclosed for multiple excavator buckets, adapted to form a stable, single or multi-tiered structure for securing buckets. The stored buckets can be easily accessed by a forklift or excavator for adding or removing buckets from the rack. The rack secures the buckets in parallel sequence on load bearing shelves. The rack includes one or more tiers for retaining the buckets at different elevations. In this manner, variously sized and dimensioned buckets, which may have different functions, can be organized into designated tiers and sections of the rack. The rack is fabricated from multiple members that join together to support a plurality of buckets and minimize lateral movement, tensile forces, compressive forces, and instability for the rack.

Abstract: A rack is disclosed, adapted to facilitate efficient transport, use and storage of augers, including foundation augers. The rack comprises a frame and a plurality of upwardly rising tower assemblies which grip or lock the helical flighting on earth augers. In various embodiments, components of the rack are adjustable to accommodate differing diameters of the auger, differing angles of incline of flighting, and differing heights of augers and their flighting.

Abstract: A rack is disclosed, adapted to facilitate efficient transport and interchange of augers and/or mining drill bits used in construction by either single operator or a plurality of operators. The rack comprises a plurality of elongated members affixed to one another; and, in some embodiments, a plurality of L-shaped, cantilevered brackets from which augers or drill bits are suspended during transport, storage, interchange, and the like.

Abstract: A portable auger rack is disclosed, adapted to allow a single operator to transport a plurality of augers and an auger drive unit, as well as to allow a single operator to connect the drive unit and augers unassisted to a skid-steer, Bobcat®, or other variation of track equipment.
