A working machine has a frame, a ground engaging propulsion system, a drive arrangement for providing motive power to the ground engaging propulsion system, an operator platform pivotally connected to the frame and moveable between a deployed position for supporting an operator thereon and a stowed position; and a sensor arrangement configured to sense when an external force is applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed position. The machine prevents movement of the ground engaging propulsion system when the sensor arrangement does not sense an external force applied to the operator platform when said operator platform is in the deployed positon.

A mobile storage apparatus for containers is provided. The apparatus provides a unique support assembly for holding a container. The assembly includes a latch mechanism that allows a clamp of cylinder to be moved from a closed position to an open position which creates clearance around a neck of cylinder to allow it to rotate without falling out of clamp. The other end of apparatus is structurally configured with a release plunger that can be retracted to allow rotation of cylinder along said other end. Rotatable wheels on a user side with a braking mechanism along a handle and a foot ledge allow improved maneuverability and stability.

The present disclosure relates to a smart stroller and a method of controlling the same. The smart stroller includes a sensor part for sensing various information regarding a space in which a baby is seated and information regarding the surrounding environment in which the smart stroller is traveling. The sensed information is transmitted to a controller so as to be calculated as information for controlling operation of the smart stroller or information for informing to a user. This may enable the smart stroller to travel in a stable manner. This may also allow the user to check the state of the baby in real time and take necessary action.

A cart can include a body having driving wheels mounted to left and right sides thereof; a motor configured to rotate the driving wheels; a frame comprising a lower part connected to the body, the frame extending upwards from the lower part; a handle connected to the frame; a sensor unit including a tilt sensor configured to detect a tilt of the body, and a touch sensor configured to detect whether the handle is grasped; and a controller configured to in response to determining that the handle is not grasped based on data detected by the touch sensor, determine whether the cart is located on a slope based on data detected by the tilt sensor, change a control parameter of the motor based on whether the cart is located on the slope and perform a braking operation in different ways based on whether the motor is rotating.

The present disclosure relates to a cart unit and a method of controlling the same. The cart unit includes a touch sensor that is mounted inside a handle to sense an object such as a user's hand approaching the handle, and a controller that calculates operation information according to information sensed by the touch sensor. The cart unit can be operated according to the calculated operation information. This can result in improving user convenience.

A multi-functional stroller comprising an incline detection system, and a braking system. The multi-functional stroller can detect when rolling uncontrolled, or when a user is not grasping the multi-functional stroller and engage the braking system to keep stroller occupant in safety. In embodiments, the multi-functional stroller can have motorized wheel hubs to aid in navigating stairs or uneven terrain.

An assembly of a first and second child transport apparatus is disclosed. Each apparatus may include: a frame having a frame base, at least one wheel, and a handle; at least one brake and a brake rod, wherein the brake rod is attached to the frame, and wherein the at least one brake actionable upon the wheel when the brake rod is actuated; a carriage pivotably attached to the frame; and a foldable backrest pivotably attached to a base of the carriage, wherein, in a nested position, the foldable backrest of the first apparatus is folded down and the carriage of the second apparatus is positioned partially within the carriage of the first apparatus such that the carriage of the second apparatus is disposed partially over the foldable backrest of the first apparatus; and the brake rod of the first apparatus is released by the handle of the second apparatus.

A handcart may include a frame; a drive wheel rotatably supported by the frame about a rotation axis extending in a right-left direction; a prime mover configured to rotate the drive wheel; a bracket pivotably supported by the frame about a pivot axis extending in an up-down direction; and a non-drive wheel supported by the bracket about a rotation axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The non-drive wheel may include a first non-drive wheel and a second non-drive wheel, and the first non-drive wheel and the second non-drive wheel may be configured to be rotatable independent of each other.

A handcart may include a chassis unit and a container unit configured to be detachably attached to the chassis unit. The chassis unit may include a front wheel unit rotatably supporting a front wheel; a rear wheel unit rotatably supporting a rear wheel; a chassis frame extending in a front-rear direction and supporting the front and rear wheel units; and a prime mover configured to rotate at least one of the front wheel and the rear Wheel as a drive wheel. The container unit may be selected from a group including at least a first container unit and a second container unit. The first container unit may include a first container and a first container frame extending in the front-rear direction and supporting the first container, The second container unit may include a second container and a second container frame extending in the front-rear direction and supporting the second container.

A handcart may include a drive wheel; a prime mover configured to rotate the drive wheel; a grip portion configured to be gripped by a user; and a visibly noticeable portion that is clearly noticeable from behind the user when the user stands behind the handcart, gripping the grip portion.
