  • Publication number: 20150145391
    Abstract: A container that holds rack mountable electronics equipment includes a plurality of rack enclosures and a corresponding plurality of enclosure cooling units. Each rack enclosure is movably mounted in the container such it can move from a position abutting a front of an enclosure cooling unit to a maintenance and access position spaced apart from the enclosure cooling unit. Each enclosure cooling unit is capable of providing varying amounts of cool air to the rack enclosure it abuts, so that the interior of each rack enclosure can be maintained at a different temperature.

  • Patent number: 8960459
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention is directed to an overhead crane with one or more bridge rails, that incorporates a reinforcement truss into its one or more bridge rails so as to reduce the overall mass of the one or more bridge rails. This facilitates movement of a load carried by the bridge by an operator to a destination point, particularly in embodiments wherein the one or more bridge rails do not have any bridge drive motors thereon. Reducing the mass of the bridge can increase the amount of lifted load that can comfortably be maneuvered by an operator, particularly when the bridge is manually moved along the runway. Additionally, reducing the mass of the bridge reduces the momentum associated with the bridge, which can increase the amount of control that the operator has when it is desired to stop the bridge when the load has been maneuvered to its desired destination point.

  • Patent number: 7413394
    Abstract: A telescoping bridge crane system arranged to be mounted over a floor of a structure, e.g., a vehicle trailer, and including a pair of enclosed mounting tracks for slidably supporting a runway frame. Trucks are located within the tracks. Each truck includes a hanger. The runway frame also includes two enclosed tracks which are directly supported by the hangers and located beside and parallel to the mounting tracks. A bridge section is mounted between the enclosed tracks of the runway frame by another pair of trucks. The a bridge section supports an extremely low headroom hoist assembly including an actuator, a cable, plural rotatable sheaves and a hook.

  • Patent number: 4392648
    Abstract: A personnel transportation apparatus is disclosed herein for positioning a performer across a stage in view of an audience which includes an elongated stationary support having an upper and a lower set of rails for rollably supporting a first and a second carriage respectively. A first pulley system operably moves the first carriage along the upper rails between the opposite ends of the support to transport the performer across the stage while a second pulley system drives the second carriage along the lower rails which moves in the opposite direction to the first carrier and moves twice the distance. A third pulley system interconnects the first and second carriages for controlling the performers height above the stage as the performer travels across the stage. Independant control of horizontal travel and vertical height of the performed is established.

  • Patent number: 4297071
    Abstract: A weight handling vehicle having a rear cargo compartment with a bed and side walls. A frame adjacent the sidewalls supports a carriage that moves horizontally along the top of the frame and telescopes out the rearward end of the vehicle. A trolley, supporting a hoist for lifting the weight units, moves on the carriage and, when used in tandem with the telescoping carriage, transfers weight units from within the rear cargo compartment to a point exterior of and spaced apart from the rearward end of the cargo compartment.
