Systems are provided for storing and retrieving objects such as ladders. The systems can include a carriage having a table that rotates, and a trolley mounted on the carriage for holding the object and moving the object linearly in relation to the carriage, so that the object can be stowed in locations such as on the roof of a fire engine or other emergency vehicle, or the roof of a stationary structure. The systems include features for locking the table and the trolley to increase the safety and efficiency of the loading and unloading processes.

Systems for storing and retrieving ladders and other objects

A dock handrail gate includes a base plate installable on the surface of the dock and a post mounted to the base plate perpendicular to the base plate. The handrail also has a rail that attaches to the top portion of the post and extends horizontally and inclines downwardly at an angle inwardly towards the post and further attaches to the bottom portion of the post. The handrail may also have an inner tube that includes an inner sleeve to allow the post and the rail to be lifted and rotated to lock into one or more positions.

Dock handrail and gate apparatus

A marine cargo loader and handrail device includes a base plate, a post and a platform that is pivotally mounted to the post to allow the platform to move upward and downward. The platform can have two positions, the stored and deployed positions. When stored, the platform is in an upright position. When deployed, the platform is in a substantially horizontal plane with respect to the post. The device may also include a gas dampener to allow for a smooth descent from the stored position downward to the deployed position.

An adjustable container holder includes two rods that can be connected by a tube, where the tube and the two rods can together embrace a container. Each rod is attachable to a L-shaped support bracket by means of a clamp, where the rod is sandwiched between the clamp and the L-shaped support bracket. Each of the L-shaped brackets has apertures therein for mounting the bracket to a surface such as a wall or a floor. The tube is adjustable so that the width of the container holder can be changed. Once the width of the container holder is adjusted, the container holder can be fixed by mounting the L-shaped brackets to the surface.

Dock handrail with gate assembly

A mounting assembly for mounting a tank including a backing plate, a foot plate secured to a bottom portion of the backing plate and a clamping assembly secured to a top portion of the backing plate spaced from the foot plate such that a tank receiving zone is defined between the foot plate and the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a bracket secured to the backing plate and a clamping member pivotally secured to the bracket and movable between a clamping position and a releasing position. An inertial assembly is configured to engage a portion of the clamping member and configured such that upon a high pivoting force, the inertial assembly prevents pivoting o the clamping member while allowing pivoting under a normal pivoting force.

A mounting assembly for mounting a tank including a backing plate, a foot plate secured to a bottom portion of the backing plate and a clamping assembly secured to a top portion of the backing plate spaced from the foot plate such that a tank receiving zone is defined between the foot plate and the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a bracket secured to the backing plate and a clamping member pivotally secured to the bracket and movable between a clamping position and a releasing position. The clamping assembly further includes a mechanical lock-out mechanism including a lock-out member moveable between an open position wherein the clamping member is free to pivot to the releasing position and a closed position wherein the lock-out member engages a portion of the clamping member and prevents pivoting thereof. The lock-out member is biased to the open position but moves to the closed position upon application of a high lateral force.

Hose storage apparatus

Mounting bracket for a tank

A storage apparatus for retaining a suction hose on top of an emergency vehicle which includes a support carriage slidably movable with respect to a tilting assembly secured to the emergency vehicle. In this manner, the hose mounting area is movable between a lower position for placement of the hose in the hose receiving area or removal therefrom to a storage position upwardly in engagement with respect to saddle supports, and an end member attached to the top of the vehicle spatially disposed from the tilting mechanism to facilitate holding of the hose in the storage position.

Tank mounting apparatus

A tank handling apparatus for facilitating movement of cylindrical tanks such as oxygen tanks as needed which includes a carriage assembly with a main upright member and a parallel swing arm assembly extending outwardly therefrom with multiple lifting arms with a tank retaining housing movably secured thereto which defines a zone therein for receiving of the cylindrical tank. The apparatus provides movement capability vertically upwardly and outwardly, as well as rotational movement of the tank retaining housing to facilitate changing orientation of the position of a different tank between a horizontally extending position and a vertically extending position. An automatic locking mechanism is included which is gravitationally powered for facilitating deployment of a foot support member beneath the tank receiving zone in all positions other than when the held tank is horizontally positioned.

Tank handling apparatus for use lifting, supporting and manipulating cylindrical tanks

A bracket to facilitate mounting of emergency apparatus such as an extrication tool utilized by emergency personnel which bracket is positionable with respect to environmental structure such as an emergency vehicle, that is, fire trucks or ambulances and the like, which includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate which together define therebetween a box housing with a main mounting location positioned in the interior chamber within the two mounting plates which is specifically defined between mounting recesses defined in each respective mounting plate. The bracket can include recess arms adjacent each recess to facilitate usage of this bracket with emergency apparatus of various different external constructions. The recess arms are movably attached with respect to the plates and the bracket includes an adjustably positionable environmental mounting construction.
