A leveling system for a lift device includes an axle, a pin, a cradle, and a chassis. The axle is configured to rotatably couple with one or more tractive elements. The pin extends through a bore of the axle. The cradle is pivotally coupled with the pin. The chassis is pivotally coupled with the pin and includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator and the second actuator each include a body and a rod configured to extend relative to the body. The rods of the first actuator and the second actuator are configured to be extended to engage corresponding surfaces on opposite sides of the cradle. The cradle and the chassis are configured to rock in unison a limited angular amount relative to the axle.

A battery powered lighting device is configured to be attached to lift bucket having sidewalls and an upper lip extending from uppermost portions of the sidewalls. The lighting device includes a main housing, a securing member, and a main light mounted to the main housing and located to illuminate areas outside of the lift bucket. The main housing includes a first securing surface and an upper housing portion, with the upper housing portion configured to be located above the upper lip of the lift bucket with the first securing surface engaged against a surface of the lift bucket. The main light is mounted to the main housing to move between a lower position wherein the main light is positioned below the upper housing portion and an upper position wherein the main light is positioned above the upper housing portion.

An expandable car jack includes a vehicle lifting assembly with an upper lifting member, a lower lifting member mechanically coupled to the upper lifting member, and a lifting mechanism capable of moving the upper lifting member to a plurality of raised height positions. A base is coupled to the vehicle lifting assembly and includes a first base support member, a second base support member, and a base support coupler that is operable to selectively couple the first base support member to the second base support member in at least a first coupling position and a second coupling position. The base support coupler selectively mechanically maintains a parallel alignment and a perpendicular alignment of the first base support member and the second base support member when the base support coupler is in the first coupling position, allows the first base support member and the second base support member to freely move between the parallel alignment and the perpendicular alignment when the base support coupler is in the second coupling position, and remains mechanically coupled to at least the first base support member in the first and second coupling positions so that the first base support member cannot move with respect to the second base support member without a mechanical alteration to the base support coupler prior to moving either the first base support member or the second base support member.

A pair of jacks for lifting doors to facilitate adding hardware to the doors, each jack comprising: a clamp for clamping one end of a door; a swivel connected to the clamp via a cylindrical member; a telescoping shaft attached to the rear end of the cylindrical member; a crank arm attached to the top of the telescopic shaft for selectively adjusting the height of the telescoping shaft; and a base including at least four wheels for moving the jack along the floor, wherein the bottom of the shaft is attached to the base.

The present invention relates to a lifting system and method for lifting a vehicle. The lifting system has one or more lifting devices and includes a frame with a carrier configured for carrying the vehicle; a drive for driving the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier; and a controller with an indoor positioning system. The controller determines the location and the height of the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier of the one or more lifting devices. The controller has a remote control, and the controller further has a monitoring system configured for monitoring a safety zone. The monitoring system monitors a three-dimensional zone and the safety zone has an inner zone, an intermediate zone and an outer zone.
