A Royal Australian Air Force loadmaster directing a vehicle onto a C-130J Hercules in 2016. A loadmaster is an aircrew member on military transport aircraft or civilian aircraft (with cargo ramp) tasked with the safe loading, transport and unloading of aerial cargoes. Loadmasters serve in the militaries and civilian airlines of many nations.
The automatic semi-trailer coupling patented by Fruehauf dominated the semi-trailer market until the Fruehauf Trailer Corporation's assets were sold in bankruptcy to Wabash National in 1997. Another fifth wheel patent U.S. 2,053,812 [ 9 ] was issued to Charles E. Bradshaw of Wellville, Virginia , filed March 18, 1936 and granted September 8, 1936.

The International Loadstar is a series of trucks that were produced by International Harvester from 1962 to 1978. [1] The first purpose-built medium-duty truck designed by the company, International slotted the Loadstar between its light-duty pickup trucks (initially the C-series, later the D-series) and the heavy-duty R-series.
A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings. Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables , roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms.
The simplest example of a plain bearing is a shaft rotating in a hole. A simple linear bearing can be a pair of flat surfaces designed to allow motion; e.g., a drawer and the slides it rests on [3] or the ways on the bed of a lathe. Plain bearings, in general, are the least expensive type of bearing.
A spherical bearing is a bearing that permits rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions (usually within a specified angular limit based on the bearing geometry). Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that must move not only rotationally, but also at an angle.
