Disclosed is a tower lifting device for a rotary blasthole drill, comprising a hydraulic cylinder (5), an extending oil path (7), a retracting oil path (6), a speed control oil path (14) and a proximity switch (3), wherein the extending oil path (7) is connected to a non-rod-end chamber of the hydraulic cylinder (5), and an extension control unit is provided on the extending oil path (7); the retracting oil path (6) is connected to a rod-end chamber of the hydraulic cylinder (5), and a retraction control unit is provided on the retracting oil path (6); the speed control oil path (14) is connected to the retracting oil path (6), the speed control oil path (14) is connected to a speed control valve block (15) in series and the tail end thereof is connected to an oil tank (16); the proximity switch (3) is arranged on a tower supporting frame (2) for controlling the switching on and off of the speed control valve block (15), and when the tower (4) is approximately in a horizontal state, the speed control valve block (15) is on. By using such a tower lifting device in the present invention, the speed at which the tower is laid down to a horizontal state can be conveniently controlled.

Jack units attach skates to an object to be moved. Each jack unit has a tongue that slidably engages a coupling slot affixed to the object, and can be operated to raise or lower the tongue; when raised, the object is supported on the skates and can be rolled to a new location. A crane can attach to lift eyes on the jack units to allow the system to be lifted with the skates attached to the object, avoiding the risk to operators of positioning the skates under the object while it is suspended. Rotation-limiting structures can be selectively employed to block rotation of the trailing skates to facilitate steering when rolling the object supported by the system. The coupling slots can be provided in coupling elements which can attach directly to the object or which can be employed to form a freestanding frame to which the object is secured.

An apparatus and process for lifting heavy objects by capturing mechanical work from the buoyant energy of liquid displacement. The apparatus comprises one or more bodies of liquid, collapsible liquid-displacement displacement vessel, and lifting force transfer means to the object, in use, the weight of the object to be lifted is secured onto the lifting platform and leveraged by the force transfer means to draw gas into the displacement vessel. Once the displacement vessel is full of gas, it will reverse the force transfer means to lift the object to the top of the liquid. Once the lifted object is secured at the elevated position, a gas release valve releases the gas and the displacement vessel collapses and sinks back down to the bottom of the liquid and the process can be repeated as necessary.

A lifting support device that includes a linear actuator including a first end configured to support an object, and a load sensor positioned to determine application of a first load on the load sensor by at least the object. The linear actuator is maintained in equilibrium when supporting the first load. The lifting support device further includes a controller coupled in communication with the load sensor, and the controller is configured to selectively actuate the linear actuator in response to application of a second load on the load sensor.

The disclosure relates to a lifting gear for opening and closing a workstation of a packaging machine, wherein the lifting gear includes a stationarily mounted base, a lifting platform mounted to be height adjustable with respect to the base along a lifting axis for supporting a lower tool part of the workstation, and an adjusting mechanism comprising a drive unit and a toggle means on which the lifting platform is mounted, wherein the adjusting mechanism furthermore includes a pressure part coupled with the toggle means and adjustable by means of the drive unit along the lifting axis, wherein by the displacement of said pressure part along the lifting axis, the toggle means can be actuated for a height adjustment of the lifting platform.

A lift table includes a base member, an air powered hydraulic powerpack assembly mounted to the base member, a tabletop, a lift assembly capable of actuated the tabletop relative to the base member, a handle extending upward from the base member, and an air supply docking station. The lift assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder assembly actuated by the air powered hydraulic powerpack. The handle includes a top potion of the handle elevated above the air-powered hydraulic powerpack. The air supply docking station is fixed to the top portion of the handle and is in fluid communication with the air-powered hydraulic powerpack assembly.

The lifting/lowering device (100) includes: a first plate member (51); a second plate member (52) to which the first plate member (51) is rotatably connected; a first expansion and contraction bag (31) which is disposed between the first plate member (51) and the second plate member (52) and is capable of expanding and contracting by gas supply and exhaust; a third plate member (53) to which the second plate member (52) is rotatably connected; a second expansion and contraction bag which is disposed between the second plate member (52) and the third plate member (53) and is capable of expanding and contracting by gas supply and exhaust. The first plate member (51), the first expansion and contraction bag (31), the second plate member (52), the second expansion and contraction bag (32) and the third plate member (53) are disposed so as to overlap in a plan view.
