Abstract: A system for transporting a proppant for fracking may include a transport vehicle, a proppant container, a container clutch part, and a floating clutch part. The transport vehicle may include a carriage having forks for engaging fork pockets of the proppant container. The proppant container may house proppant releasable using a release gate and actuator. The container clutch part may be connected to the proppant container and configured to transfer rotational movement to the actuator. The floating clutch part may be connected to the carriage of the transport vehicle and configured to engage and selectively rotate the container clutch part when the forks engage the fork pockets. The forks and fork pockets vary in size which leads to a potential for misalignment between the container and floating clutch parts. The floating clutch part is vertically and laterally positionable to compensate for misalignments between the container and floating clutch parts.

Abstract: An intermodal container tipping apparatus includes an upper support structure configured to be releasably mounted to a container transfer device, such as a reach stacker or crane, and a second support structure configured to be releasably mounted to an intermodal container. The lower supports structure includes at least one arcuate beam. The at least one arcuate beam attaches the lower support structure to the upper support structure. Movement of the at least one arcuate beam relative to the upper support structure causes tipping of the lower support structure and any load attached thereto while substantially maintaining a relative position of the center of gravity of the load.

Abstract: A system mounted on a powered industrial vehicle for detecting classifying and tracking in real time at least one obstruction in the scene around the vehicle. The vehicle is capable of moving in multiple directions. The system includes a multiple cameras mounted on the vehicle, wherein the viewing zones viewed respectively by the cameras preferably encompass 360° horizontally around the vehicle. Each of the cameras is operatively attached to an image processor, which processes the image frames acquired respectively by the camera. When a pedestrian is present in the viewing zone viewed by one of the cameras, the image processor attached to the one camera identifies in at least one of the image frames at least a portion of an image of the detected pedestrian.
