Publication number: 20230119877Abstract: A portable bridge includes a first end segment and a second end segment spaced apart. The first end segment and the second end segment are placed on opposite sides of an obstacle to be spanned by the portable bridge. A spanning segment is coupled between the first end segment and the second end segment for spanning the obstacle. The first end segment, the second end segment, and the spanning segment each include a plurality of parallel beams distributed across a width of the portable bridge. The plurality of parallel beams are aligned along a length of the portable bridge and the plurality of parallel beams are fixed to a top plate and a bottom plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Gary Wayne Teichrob, Patrick Scott Mason, Jake Christiaan Klassen, John Verdonk, Russell Lee Janzen, Dennis Keith Ho

Publication number: 20220032882Abstract: A method and system for supporting trailers carrying mechanical equipment, such as hydraulic fracturing oil and gas equipment are provided. One, two or at least three supports extend from the trailer toward ground and are configured to partially support the trailer when in contact with ground, in addition to any axle groups that exist on the trailer. At least one device configured to absorb, damp, or both absorb and damp vibrations from the mechanical equipment during operation is provided. Each device is operatively coupled to, for example integrated with, a corresponding one of the support structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Gary Wayne TEICHROB, Patrick Scott MASON, Dennis Keith HO, Clark Alan FRIESEN

Patent number: 10919368Abstract: An apparatus for covering an open top of a transportation trailer container includes a frame on top of the container. The frame surrounds an aperture for flow of material into the container. The apparatus also includes an arm pivotable between a closed position and an open position. The arm holds a rotatable roller for dispensing and receiving a flexible cover. The flexible cover is wrapped around the roller when the arm is in the open position. The flexible cover is unrolled from the roller to cover the aperture due to motion of the arm from the open position to the closed position. The frame includes a side portion having an inwardly and upwardly tapered outer surface. The roller contacts the outer surface when the arm is in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Ty-Crop Manufacturing Lid.Inventors: Gary Wayne Teichrob, Patrick Scott Mason, Alan Arthur Martens, Kevin Brent Thiessen, James Ryan Brezden, Robert Douglas Younie, Dennis Keith Ho, Brent Douglas Van Kleeck, Kevin James Standeven

Patent number: 10800316Abstract: A trailer for transporting granular material, such as sand or proppant, has a purpose-built shape, and loading and unloading hatches at top and bottom. The trailer includes a hollow vessel for holding granular material. The vessel is enclosed with top and bottom hatches. The vessel has a tapered lower section and a domed upper section, allowing bulk material to be piled and concentrated horizontally below and above the hatches. A chassis extends fore and aft of the vessel, and potentially through an interior of the vessel. The chassis may extend upward from a wheeled section so as to pass through a vertically central part of the vessel. The chassis may also act as a trailer suspension system. The vessel may be made of aluminium and mounted to the steel chassis.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Continental Intermodal Group-Trucking LLCInventors: Gary Wayne Teichrob, Patrick Scott Mason, Alan Arthur Martens, Kevin Brent Thiessen

Patent number: 10336168Abstract: An apparatus for covering an open top of a transportation trailer container, such as a chip train carrying wood chips, is provided. A flexible cover (e.g., tarp) is deployed and retracted using a roller moved overtop of the container using pivotable arms. A recessed region houses the base of the arm and associated components. A secondary cover covers the recessed region and is biased toward a cover closed position. An actuating surface associated with the arm pushes the secondary cover to a cover open position. Other features include inwardly angled container sides, a foam sealing member integral with the flexible cover, the secondary cover closing when the flexible cover is both fully opened and fully closed, channels between the recessed region and the container, narrow and/or sloped surfaces, and a retaining hook for capturing a roller connected to the arm.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: TY-CROP MANUFACTURING LTD.Inventors: Gary Wayne Teichrob, Patrick Scott Mason, Alan Arthur Martens, Kevin Brent Thiessen, James Ryan Brezden, Robert Douglas Younie, Dennis Keith Ho, Brent Douglas Van Kleeck, Kevin James Standeven
