  • Publication number: 20240025329
    Abstract: A transport frame for use with a container with top mounting blocks and bottom mounting blocks, and a vehicle with a tow ball, is disclosed. The frame is V-shaped and connects to the top mounting blocks and bottom mounting blocks using novel connections. These connections may be pivotally connected to the frame, reducing the stresses on the frame during transport. The frame may also include a winch that facilitates the connection of the frame to the container. A novel cam lug is also disclosed.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11673594
    Abstract: A wheel dolly is disclosed that includes a first and a second swing caster assembly. Each swing caster assembly includes a stationary frame supporting a swing axle and a lift bar channel, a swing frame constructed to rotate about the swing axle, thus defining a swing plane, and a swivel caster connected to the swing frame. A lift bar with a first longitudinal member extending orthogonally away from a second longitudinal member is connected to both swing caster assemblies through the lift bar channel. The swing plane of the first swing caster assembly is orthogonal to the swing plane of the second swing caster assembly, when the assemblies are mounted to the lift arm.

  • Patent number: 10632787
    Abstract: A wheel dolly for raising a vehicle wheel off the floor is disclosed. The dolly has at least two wheel straddle bars, each straddle bar having a non-swing caster assembly. A swing caster assembly is connected to each straddle bar. The assembly includes a stationary frame supporting a swing axle, a swing frame that rotates about the swing axle, and a swing caster connected to swing frame. The swing caster defines a swivel plane. A lift bar connects the two wheel straddle bars. The dolly can transition between two configurations: a lowered configuration, wherein the swivel plane is not parallel to the floor, and a raised configuration, wherein the swivel plane is substantially parallel to the floor.
