Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a leveling pad system for supporting a foot of a piece of equipment is presented which has a top member, middle member, a bottom member, and an axle. In one or more arrangements, the top member has a top surface and an angled mating surface, and the bottom member has a bottom surface and an angled mating surface. In this arrangement the axle is inserted into the top member, the middle member and the bottom member, the top member rotates independent of the bottom member, and the bottom member rotates independent of the top member. When the bottom member is rotated, the top surface of the top member moves to a desired slope in a first direction and when the top member is rotated the top surface of the top member moves to a desired slope in a second direction.

Abstract: A tension overload indicator includes a housing having a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis between oppositely disposed co-axial first and second apertures for journalling therethrough of a portion of a flexible load-bearing member. The housing has a third aperture having a bore axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. A rigid elongate member is slidably journalled in the third aperture between a recessed position wherein a visual warning signal on a distal end of the elongate member is recessed within the housing and a translated position wherein the warning signal is exposed from the housing. The elongate member extends into the cavity in the recessed position and is releasably locked in the recessed position by a shear member. The flexible load-bearing member is deflected out of co-axial alignment with the longitudinal axis by bending around the inner end of the elongate member.
