Abstract

See full text

A conveyor assembly is provided for movably supporting a tire of a vehicle. The conveyor assembly includes a track, a dolly, and a trapdoor assembly. The track is configured for supporting the tire of the vehicle. The track terminates at an edge, and a gap is defined beyond the edge. The dolly is configured to move along the track to the edge so as to guide the tire along the track to the edge. The trapdoor assembly is configured to substantially cover the gap when in a closed position and is movable to an open position to uncover the gap and allow the dolly to translate around the edge. The trapdoor assembly includes a device configured to prevent a human from inadvertently opening the trapdoor assembly.
