The pallet jack stop is a rectangular, durable, portable, molded, rubber body having a wheel cradle for restraining the movement of the pivot wheel(s) of a warehouse style pallet jack defined in a top side of the body. One edge of the body is beveled or ramped. The opposite side of the cradle may include a handle integrally constructed with the body of the device. The handle may be located elsewhere on the body of the pallet jack stop, or may be eliminated entirely. Recesses are formed in a bottom surface of the pallet jack stop body, whereby the amount of material used in construction of the pallet jack stop is reduced to reduce the weight and manufacturing costs of the pallet jack stop. The cradle's construction meets all safety and environmental requirements and is structurally stable for heavy cyclic loading under a wide range of environmental conditions.

The invention entails metal alloy mono and poly-filament wire reinforced carbon fiber plating system for the fixation of skeletal fractures and osteotomies with electrical bone stimulation. For example, in some embodiments, systems and methods comprise a bone stimulation device by generating an electrical current from an implanted power pack, which travels through wire wrapped in the transverse / perpendicular plane around the mono-poly filament wires within the carbon fiber plate, creating an electromagnetic field. Such systems and methods find use in delayed or non-union events of bone and also in patients with acute bone fractures whom also suffer from other comorbidities predisposing the osteotomy or fracture to a non-union event.

A bottom portion of the table board is disposed with one or more pawls, and the upper crossbar is disposed with one or more lock plates. Edges of the one or more lock plates comprise at least one ratchet wheel groove. When the one or more pawls are disposed in the at least one ratchet wheel groove, the table board is configured to rotate upward.

A Bailey beam for reinforcement is composed of Bailey panels, stiffening rods, bolts, anchor bolts, a prestressing tendon and anchorages. The components of the Bailey beam are all prefabricated in a factory, and are assembled and hoisted on site. The prestressing tendon is arranged in a lower chord of the Bailey beam, and is anchored to the stiffening rods at both ends. The Bailey beam slides towards both ends during prestress tensioning. In this case, the Bailey beam is lifted as a whole, and the prestressing force is applied to a lower edge of the Bailey beam, resulting in an inverted arch of structure, closing up of cracks and a decrease in downward deflection. After the completion of the prestress tensioning, sealing is performed by fixing fillers, a sealing steel plate and injecting solidifiable materials.
