Abstract
An apparatus, a method, and a system for liquid fuel transfer, including a self-powered mobile liquid fuel transfer caddy mounted on a frame, a powertrain having a motor, braking and steering mechanisms, and a liquid fuel vessel having a large liquid fuel storage capacity. The self-powered mobile liquid fuel transfer caddy maintains liquid fuel vessel stability and power assisted maneuverability during transport of heavy weighted liquid fuel over paved roads and off-road complex terrains.
Claims20
A self-powered mobile liquid fuel transfer caddy apparatus comprising:
- a frame assembly;
- a high clearance transport mechanism extending from said frame assembly comprising at least three wheel structures or a plurality of track structures;
- a powertrain assembly including a motor mechanism attached to said high clearance transport mechanism, said powertrain assembly providing power assisted liquid fuel transfer caddy maneuverability;
- a braking mechanism attached to said high clearance transport mechanism;
- a steering mechanism attached to a proximal end of said high clearance transport mechanism;
- a liquid fuel vessel mounted on said frame assembly, said liquid fuel vessel having a liquid fuel storage capacity from about 30 to about 200 gallons;
- a fuel pump mechanism attached to said liquid fuel vessel;
- said self-powered mobile liquid fuel transfer caddy simultaneously maintains liquid fuel vessel stability and power assisted maneuverability at full liquid fuel vessel capacity during transport over terrain having absolute value topographic variation up to 25 degrees of slope angle.
A method of using a self-powered mobile liquid fuel transfer caddy comprising:
- a frame assembly;
- a high clearance transport mechanism extending from said frame assembly comprising at least three wheel structures or a plurality of track structures;
- a powertrain assembly including a motor mechanism attached to said high clearance transport mechanism, said powertrain assembly providing power assisted liquid fuel transfer caddy maneuverability;
