    Abstract: An insulation shield for covering insulation disposed about a pipe includes an elongated body extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. The elongated body includes a cylindrical tube wall extending along the longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end. The tube wall has an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines an elongated channel adapted to receive pipe insulation tubing.

  • Patent number: 6050578
    Abstract: A log trailer load booster is described for construction in combination with or attachment to a log trailer having a wheeled trailer frame, a payload receiving bunk on the trailer frame, and an elongated trailer beam for connection to a log truck. The booster includes an elongated booster frame with a pivot connection on the booster frame configured to pivotably connect the booster frame to the trailer frame for up and down pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. A booster axle is mounted by a suspension on the booster frame. A link is configured to connect the trailer frame and booster frame and is selectively operable between a locked condition in which upward pivotal movement of the booster frame relative to the trailer frame about the horizontal axis is limited and an unlocked condition in which the booster frame is allowed substantially free pivotal movement about the horizontal axis relative to the trailer frame.
