    摘要: The present invention regards an apparatus for unwinding flexible cables on seabeds, which comprises: two first towers (2), each provided with a corresponding first vertical guide seat (5), two second towers (6), each provided with a second vertical guide seat (7), and two hub-holder groups (8), each of which slidably constrained to the second guide seat (7) of the corresponding second tower (6) and carrying, rotatably mounted thereon, a corresponding hub (3). Each second tower (6) can be moved between a first operating configuration, in which the second tower (6) is slidably constrained in the first guide seat (5) of the corresponding first tower (2), and a second operating configuration, in which the second tower (6) is arranged outside the first guide seat (5) of the corresponding first tower (2).

    摘要: A hand cart for dispensing wire is provided. The hand cart comprises a cart body extending vertically between a bottom portion and a top portion, and a plurality of wheels connected to the bottom portion of the cart body. The hand cart may support multiple racks, each rack having bins to house wire containers. The racks may have a dispensing cone for directing wire as it is pulled out of the wire containers. The cart is equipped with a brake assembly connected to the bottom portion of the cart body, the brake assembly having an engaged configuration in which the assembly extends to a surface on which the wheels rest and engages the surface to prevent the hand cart from changing location, but allowing it to be pivoted about the brake assembly.

    摘要: A hitch attachment system can include a hitch attachment configured to be secured to a vehicle hitch and one or more implements configured to be attached to a vehicle hitch. For example, the implement may be a wire rack, a vise stand, or some other implement. A securing mechanism can be configured to apply pressure transverse to a direction of sliding motion of the hitch attachment relative to the implement to inhibit movement of the implement relative to the hitch. The hitch attachment may include a stabilizing system that is configured to move a pressure member to apply pressure to an inwardly-facing surface of the hollow tubing to inhibit movement of the hitch attachment relative to the hitch.

    摘要: The present invention discloses various aspects of a cable reel trailer that uses the automotive force of a tractor or truck used to transport the trailer, a method of making same, and a method of using. The inclusion of a pivotally connected tongue that is pivotally connected to the main frame of the trailer overcomes many of the aforementioned problems with the prior art because there is no motor or hydraulic system necessary for lifting the cable reel securely on to the trailer. In accordance with the present invention, the towing automotive force, such as a truck, tractor or any other hauling vehicle, provides all the power for lifting the cable reel, rather than requiring a separate power source on the trailer for doing the heavy lifting. By locking up the wheel on the trailer with a wheel stop, the forward movement provided by a towing truck can concentrate on lifting the cable reel instead of moving the trailer forward. This means that no separate on-board power is needed for lifting the cable reel.
