A central column allowing a 360 rotation on its central axis comprises mechanical safety locks and load sensors for safe operation in vertical and horizontal movements. The central rotating column may be part of a mounting and dismounting system for mining truck dump bodies and water truck bodies, providing two adjacent working areas. The lifting system for dump bodies of mining trucks and bodies of water trucks comprises a vertically adjustable mechanical lock; a spring-actuated automatic lock horizontally holding the column in position; an automatic rotation lock preventing the column from rotating while in operation; a toothed crown and pinion assembly integrated to the rotating base and allowing a 360 movement, and a load sensor preventing the horizontal movement of the column under load.

The present disclosure provides a support for household appliance and a household appliance. The support for household appliance comprises a hydraulic plate; a sheath, which is fixedly connected with the hydraulic plate; a regulating element, which is arranged in the sheath and is axially movable relative to the sheath; an accommodation chamber, which is formed by the hydraulic plate, the sheath and the regulating element; a hydraulic medium, which is arranged in the accommodation chamber and is compressed/expands depending on pressure changes to drive the regulating element to axially move in the sheath for leveling; a communicating device, which enables at least two supports for household appliance to communicate with each other to allow the hydraulic medium to flow between the supports for household appliance; a one-way valve structure is arranged in the communicating device for conducting the hydraulic medium to flow in one direction.

A lifting device with a head cavity in the lifting member shaped to accept a removable lifting head. The head cavity in the lifting devicee.g., the piston of a bottle jackmay be provided with threads, or may have the threads removed. A yoke fitted on the lifting head provides registration, horizontal restraint, or both against a lifted object, component, or surface to prevent sliding off the lifting head while in use. In a smooth-walled-shaft embodiment, a set of risers (spacers, adjusters, trims, or shims) serves to adjust an extension height of the shaft, elevating the lifting head with respect to the piston prior to beginning to lift the hydraulic piston.

A lifting device including a first platform, a second platform, a gas spring and a locking device is provided. The first platform includes a base and a first column connected to each other. The second platform includes a working table and a second column connected to each other. The second column and the first column are movably connected. The second column has a plurality of engaging holes. The gas spring includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end connected to the first column, and the second end connected to the second column. The locking device partially disposed at the first column, and a portion of the locking device being adapted to penetrate the engaging holes to fix a relative position between the second column and the first column.

An assembly for adjusting a position of a vessel includes a frame for carrying the vessel, and a lifting device configured to move the frame from a horizontal position to a first vertical position by pivoting the frame, and to move the frame from the first vertical position to a second vertical position by raising the frame.

A method and apparatus for transporting heavy machinery, equipment or other heavy loads from one location to another, whereby the apparatus may be constructed as a walking machine including a plurality of lifting assemblies operative to lift the load above the supporting surface and then move the load relative to the supporting surface by transporting the load via rollers or tracks in the walking machines. In one example, the lifting assemblies are provided with separate longitudinal and lateral drive mechanisms independently operative for translating the load in either or both longitudinal and lateral directions.

A jacking assembly for a rotor of a turbine includes an arc-shaped saddle which extends around and supports a lower portion of a rotor. A lifting beam extends over the rotor transversely to an axial direction of the rotor. The lifting beam is axially aligned with the arc-shaped saddle. Two connectors are disposed on respective lateral sides of the rotor, each connector extending between and being coupled to the lifting beam and the arc-shaped saddle such that the saddle is configured to lift the rotor vertically when the lifting beam is displaced vertically.
