Patent ID: 8151452

Claim:
An electrical equipment racking tool adapted for remote operation, comprising: a. a one piece cart comprising (i) a base frame comprising a first support and a second support connected to a back support; (ii) a first riser connected to the first support, wherein the first riser has a first riser bottom and a first riser top; (iii) a second riser connected to the second support opposite the first riser; (iv) a first slide support connected to the first riser midway between the first riser bottom and the first riser top; (v) a second slide support connected to the first riser and extending from the first riser top; and (vi) at least four braces engaging the first riser with the second riser; b. a first load bearing first wheel and a second load bearing second wheel connected to a load bearing axel pivotably mounted to the base frame for rolling the cart along a surface; c. a slide connected perpendicularly to each of the first and second slide supports, wherein the slide further comprises a first external rails and a second external rail, wherein the slide supports a slide table moveably connected to the first and second external rails, and an actuatable internal lifting means mounted internally in the slide; d. a drive assembly with a drive coupling mounted to the slide table; e. a control assembly mounted on the cart, wherein the control assembly comprises: (i) a motor connection cable for engaging the drive assembly from the control assembly; (ii) a housing having a closeable door, wherein the housing supports: (a) an on/off switch; (b) a power on indicator; (c) a current controller for engaging a drive assembly motor; (d) at least two run contactors in communication with the current controller; (e) at least one battery providing power to the at least two run contactors; (f) at least one AC/DC power supply with battery charger connected to the at least one battery and for engaging an AC power source; (g) a motor protection relay disposed between the at least two run contactors and the drive assembly; (h) an auxiliary power bus connected in parallel to the AC/DC power source allowing either the power supply or the battery to continue to power the drive assembly; (i) a pendant station comprising a pendant controller and a connecting cable connected to the current controller for operating the drive assembly, wherein the drive assembly rotates a drive coupling to rotates a connecting/disconnecting tool for installing or removing electrical equipment while an operator is remote to the cart.
