Abstract
A cable for conducting electric current from a source receptacle to a load receptacle. The cable includes a primary cord including an electrical conductor with a first terminal end and a second terminal end, and a ground cord including an electrical conductor for establishing an electrical connection between a circuit including the cable and ground. A first plug is adapted to conduct the electric current between a contact provided to the source receptacle and the first terminal end, and a second plug is adapted to conduct the electric current between the second terminal end and a contact provided to the load receptacle. At least one of the first plug and the second plug is compatible with a single-prong receptacle.

A cable for conducting electric current from a source receptacle to a load receptacle, the cable comprising:
- a primary cord including an electrical conductor with a first terminal end and a second terminal end;
- a ground cord including an electrical conductor for establishing an electrical connection between a circuit including the cable and ground;
- a first plug adapted to conduct the electric current between a contact provided to the source receptacle and the first terminal end;
- a second plug adapted to conduct the electric current between the second terminal end and a contact provided to the load receptacle, wherein
- at least one of the first plug and the second plug is compatible with a single-prong receptacle.
A trailer to be towed by a tractor, the trailer comprising:
- a floor for supporting contents to be transported by the trailer;
- a mechanized platform assembly for transferring the contents to be transported by the trailer between a first elevation and an elevation substantially level with an elevation of the floor;
- a battery to supply electric energy for operation of the mechanized platform;
- a trailer receptacle having a single-prong for receiving electric current conducted to the trailer to charge the battery;
- and
- a cable to conduct electric current between a source receptacle to the trailer receptacle, wherein the cable comprises:
- a primary cord including an electrical conductor with a first terminal end and a second terminal end;
- a ground cord including an electrical conductor for establishing an electrical connection between a circuit including the cable and ground;
- a first plug adapted to conduct the electric current between a contact provided to the source receptacle and the first terminal end;
- and
- a second plug compatible with the single-prong trailer receptacle to conduct the electric current between the second terminal end and the single-prong of the trailer receptacle.
