Patent number: 10600526Abstract: A low profile transport device includes a frame having a top surface and a recess disposed along the top surface to hold and transport an object. The low profile transport device also includes a plurality of wheels disposed below the frame that support the frame, and a plurality of pivotable wheel struts coupled to the wheels. The wheel struts are each individually adjustable relative to the frame from a first position relative to the frame to a second position relative to the frame to allow the low profile transport device to climb an obstacle without tilting the frame. The low profile transport device also includes a motor that generates movement of the wheels.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: KONECRANES GLOBAL CORPORATIONInventors: Steve Coogan, Michael Waedekin, Joseph A.
