A remote control system includes a control unit configured to send a control signal to a machine to be controlled from a position remote from the machine. A sensor system is operatively linked with the control unit, and is configured for registering a presence of an operator in a predetermined proximity to a predetermined location. Operation of the machine to be controlled is responsive to the sensor system.

Remote control system

A dual drive drilling system having a plurality of drill rods that make up a drill string and a steering element for controlling the path of the drill string is disclosed. The dual drive drilling system also includes a drill bit located near the end of the drill string, a first rotational drive for controlling the rotation of a steering element, and a second rotational drive for controlling the rotation of a drill bit. Further, the dual drive drilling system also includes a joystick capable of moving along a first and second axis for controlling both the first and second rotational drives, wherein the movement of the joystick along the first axis controls rotation of the first rotational drive, and the movement of the joystick along the second axis controls rotation of the second rotational drive.

Dual drive directional drilling system

A replaceable locking and securing device for securing a first member to a second member includes a replaceable bracket, a lock and a fastener. The bracket defines one opening when the bracket is operatively connected to the first member.

Scaffold having a replaceable locking and securing device

Scaffold having a locking and securing device for securing a first support to a second support is disclosed where the locking and securing device is movable between a secured position and an unsecured position by using a force at a substantially center point of the securing means.

Mobile utility scaffold having a platform locking and securing device

A locking and securing device including a securing means which is movable between a secured position and an unsecured position by using a force at a substantially center point of the securing means.

A self locking basket assembly has a basket extending from a base platform, and a gate system for releaseably securing a worker within the cage. The gate system includes a gate operatively mounted on a pivotable locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is opened by moving the gate in a rearward direction at an angle to a plane defined by the base platform and thereafter pivoting the gate about a hinge mechanism to an open position.

Self locking basket assembly

A stabilizing system includes at least one outrigger assembly. Each outrigger assembly has a pivotable first leg operably connected to a second leg. At least one locking mechanism is operatively mounted to the pivotable first leg and the second leg. At least one sensing mechanism is connected to the first leg for detecting when the first and second legs are in a stabilized position.

Collapsible stabilizing devices

A trailer for use in transporting a load from one area to another area has a frame and a bed operatively mounted to the frame which is capable of being moved from a first or lowered position to a second or elevated position in a substantially vertical manner or nontilting manner. At least one lifting mechanism is operatively connected to the bed, which applies the greatest force for lifting the bed from the lowered position to the elevated position at the beginning of the lift, rather than at an end or midpoint of the lift. At least one over-center latching mechanism secures the bed to the frame when the bed is in the elevated position.
