Abstract: Aerial work platform apparatus comprising a vehicle, a work platform, a lift on the vehicle for elevating and lowering the work platform, and a stabilizer for inhibiting tipping over of the apparatus when the work platform is elevated. The stabilizer is mounted on the vehicle for movement between a raised retracted position and a lowered position for engagement with the surface traversed by the vehicle should the apparatus start tipping. A mechanism moves the stabilizer between its raised and lowered positions.

Abstract: A fluid sampling apparatus includes a universal base, a plurality of inner container carriers, a sequencer means, a means for holding an inner container carrier within the base, and an insulated cooler. The universal base is sufficiently large to receive any one of a plurality of different configurations of container holders or composite containers and includes locating members to properly position the different composite containers or container carriers. The container carriers include a sleeve or wall formed to have on its inner surface a plurality of indentations, each shaped and sized to receive a different one of the containers in fixed relationship to permit easy distribution of samples in the proper container.
