Patent number: 10618753Abstract: The present invention provides a movable platform (MP) having a simple construction that is capable of being conveyed by a hydraulically actuated skate system (HASS). The MP is able to accommodate freight placed upon its surface and can be used to fully load a trailer in a single cross-dock move. The HASS can be used to move the MP during cross-dock operations. The HASS comprises a plurality of tines which are received in corresponding support channels in the MP. The tines are used to lift the MP off the ground and rollers on the tines can be used to move the MP. A conveyance vehicle is used to move the HASS and the MP after the tines have been actuated.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: INNOVATIVE LOGISTICS, INC.Inventors: Stonie Hopkins, Mark Bradley, Jos den Teuling
