A load orienting device and method of operating the load orienting device are disclosed. The load orienting device includes a frame, first and second posts disposed on the frame, and first and second propellers disposed on the first and second posts, respectively. The first and second posts are movable to adjust a distance between the first and second propellers and a controller operates the first and second propellers to adjust an orientation of the load orienting device relative to a vertical axis of the load orienting device.

Apparatus for handling heavy components on containers
A machine for handling heavy components in a heavy equipment environment. In an example implementation, the machine includes a truck having at least two front wheels and at least one rear wheel. A outrigger portion extends forward from the truck. The front wheels are attached at a forward end of the outrigger portion. A mast extends vertically from a track extending forward from the truck on a base of the outrigger portion. The mast is movably extendable or retractable along the track. A carriage is mounted on the mast and configured to move vertically on the mast. A pair of forks are mounted on the carriage to move vertically when the carriage is controlled to move. A personnel platform is mounted on the carriage independent of the mounting of the forks on the carriage. A remote control panel is configured to override a cab control panel under operator control. The remote control panel includes a plurality of controls for moving the carriage and for extending or retracting the mast.

A stack of crane mats can be lifted by a sling which engages two or more lifting portions mounted to recessed walls. The lifting portions are configured such that a sling can lift a stack of mats. Each lifting portion includes an arm having a proximal end attached to a recessed wall of the mat and a distal end attached to a plate. A protrusion is mounted on each arm such that when the mats are stacked, the protrusions over lower mats are nested within recessed cutouts of upper mats. After a stack is landed, the sling may retain one or more upper crane mats and lift them away from a lower crane mat.
A crane mat system includes a top surface and a bottom surface constructed of steel plates. The top surface and the bottom surface are joined by one or more sides and an internal support structure. Two or more lifting portions are mounted to recessed walls. Each lifting portion includes an arm having a proximal end attached to a recessed wall of the mat and a distal end attached to a plate. Each arm is mounted above the midline of the height of the mat. A protrusion is mounted on each arm such that when the mats are stacked, the protrusions over lower mats are nested within recessed cutouts of upper mats. The lifting portions are configured such that a sling can lift a stack of mats.
