Abstract: A load wheel assembly for a materials handling vehicle includes first and second spaced side members, at least one rotatable roller extending between the first and second side members. An interface structure provides a substantially rigid connection between the load wheel assembly and a mounting structure on the materials handling vehicle. The mounting structure includes a transverse bar and the interface structure includes a portion that engages and mates with the transverse bar to form a rigid connection between the interface structure and the transverse bar.

Abstract: A load wheel assembly for a materials handling vehicle includes first and second spaced side members, at least one rotatable roller extending between the first and second side members and a retainer for holding the roller in the side members. An interface structure provides a substantially rigid connection between the load wheel assembly and a mounting structure on the materials handling vehicle. The load wheel assembly can be moved vertically or horizontally into a mounted position within the outrigger and at least a portion of the interface structure mates with the mounting structure.

Abstract: A trailer support wheel assembly having a wishbone frame pivotally connected to the trailer frame at two rear mounting points and adjustably connected to the trailer frame at a single forward point. A resilient suspension assembly and spindle is contained by the wishbone frame assembly, and the spindle is further connected to one or more wheels which may be lowered into contact with the ground. The wishbone frame assembly may be adjustably positioned to permit the wheels to carry a greater or lesser load portion of the trailer as it is connected to a vehicle.

Abstract: Apparatus for mounting a spare wheel on a tongue of a trailer including a wheel supporting hub, a first shaft extending from the rear of the wheel supporting hub, the shaft being rotatably carried within a first shaft supporting sleeve, a retainer for retaining the first shaft within the first sleeve, an arm extending from the first sleeve substantially perpendicular to the axis of the first shaft disposed within the first sleeve, the end of the arm remote from the first sleeve being affixed to one end of a second shaft, the second shaft being disposed substantially parallel to the first shaft and extending from the arm in a direction opposite to that from which the wheel supporting hub extends from the first shaft, the second shaft being rotatably carried by a second sleeve, biasing means associated with the second shaft urging the arm toward the second sleeve, locking devices for fixing the arm with respect to the adjacent second sleeve in more than one position, and a mounting assembly associated with the
