A goods handling apparatus for a cargo storage and transport trailer of, or connectable to, a vehicle. The preferred apparatus includes a movable cargo platform forming a separate part of, and continuous with, the trailer floor when the cargo platform is in an upper position whereupon cargo may be slid between the trailer floor and the cargo platform. A vertical actuator attached to the cargo platform raises and lowers the cargo platform between the upper position and a lower position atop the ground or other vehicle support surface whereupon cargo may be slid between the cargo platform and the ground or other vehicle support surface. The cargo platform is positioned substantially within the plan perimeter of the floor of the trailer when cargo on the cargo platform is lifted or lowered. A side module is also available.

A confined space entry device has modularized components which allow the device to be readily reconfigured. In particular, the extension arm of the device is removably secured to one leg of an elbow, while a post or mast is removably secured to the other end of the elbow. The other end of the mast is removably secured to a base which supports the confined space entry device. In one version of the invention, the device includes tubular members made of a polymer composite material. In another version of the invention, the elbow is asymmetric about a central axis and is formed of cast aluminum. The device can include sets of different-length elongated members which can be interchanged with elongated members secured within the device. In yet another version of the invention, the device incorporates a safety line connected to a lower end of the davit assembly or member and extending to an upper end of the davit assembly or member. The safety line should have a tensile strength equal or greater than to the dynamic rating of the post; should the member break above the lower end, the safety line would arrest the fall of a worker or person secured to the confined space device.

A cart which is provided with lifting jacks (26) and wheels on casters (28) providing a means of vertically lifting and transporting a fire suppression agent storage container in an upright position. The apparatus is designed to lift from the base of the container without requiring a lifting element to be placed beneath said fire suppression agent storage container. The base of the container is coupled to the apparatus by the use of clamping frames (24). Once the clamping frames (24) are fully engaged around the container base, the lifting jacks (26) can be operated to lift the container. Once the container is lifted, the container can then be easily moved by rolling entire apparatus along a surface by way of the wheels on casters (28).

A rack for securing containers includes a plurality of bays into which one or more containers are received. The rack includes an upper section and a lower section defining a bay therebetween. The bay has a concave support surface for supporting an object. A plurality of columns connect the upper section to the lower section. The upper section and the lower section each include a plurality of complementary interlocking members aligned with the plurality of columns, such that the interlocking members on the upper section would interlock with the interlocking members on the lower section of a similar rack stacked thereon. Each bay may include a resilient member, such as an expandable clamp or a resilient bumper.

A series of transport carts are positioned in side by side relation in fore and aft extending spaced apart rows disposed along a delivery van to leave an aisle between them.

The carts have rear posts which are disengageably locked in track sections provided in longitudinally spaced relation along the van side walls. Pallets with discs projecting downwardly from the floors of the pallets support the product stacks on the cart bottom supports. A hand truck with a bifurcated nose plate defining disc receiving arms engages under each pallet to enable removal of a pallet and product stack from the cart.

A goods handling' apparatus for a cargo storage and transport vehicle includes a movable cargo platform continuous with a portion of cargo enclosure floor, when the cargo platform is in an upper position. Cargo may be slid between the trailer floor and the cargo platform. A vertical actuator raises and lowers the cargo platform between the upper position and a lower position atop the ground or other vehicle support surface whereupon cargo may be slid between the cargo platform and the ground or other positions. The cargo platform is disposed substantially within the plan perimeter of the floor of the cargo module during raising and lowering. A modular system may be integrated into the cargo enclosure, or may be incorporated into a modular enclosure for appending to a cargo box of the prior art. An underside is disposed in vertically adjusting communication with the cargo platform.

A transporter and storage and lift unit, particular suited for tires includes an elongated vehicle frame capable of traveling over the underlying terrain includes a plurality of elongated object supports.

The present invention relates to a tank holder system that does not substantially restrict alternative uses of truck bed space when the tank holder system is not in use. The tank holder system includes a tank holder and a base, which receives the tank holder and secures the tank holder during transportation. The tank holder includes an arcuate cradle formed to accept cylindrically-shaped tanks and fasteners that secure such tanks in the arcuate cradle. When the tank holder is not in use, it can be removed from the base. The base remains attached to the truck bed. This allows the space in the truck bed to be used for alternative purposes when the tank holder is disengaged from the base, while allowing the tank holder to be quickly and easily re-engaged to the base.
