A lift device includes a guardrail assembly pivotally coupled to a mast assembly and having a guardrail and a door pivotally coupled to a free end of the guardrail by an automatic door hinge assembly. The automatic door hinge assembly includes a hinge rod rotationally fixed relative to the guardrail and including a plurality of helical protrusions, a hinge channel extending through the door and including a plurality of helical recesses, and a hinge rod spring biased between the guardrail and the door and configured to generate a biasing force on the door that biases the door toward a closed position. Each of the plurality of helical protrusions is received within a corresponding one of the plurality of helical recesses.

LIFT ASSEMBLY

A lift assembly includes a base, a platform moveable relative to the base between raised and lowered positions, and a scissor mechanism to move the platform relative to the base. The lift assembly also includes a lift mechanism including a base support coupled to the base and extending from the base toward the platform, a platform support mounted to the platform and extending from the platform toward the base, a first linkage supported by the base support and coupled to the platform support, and a first pulley supported by the first linkage. The lift assembly also includes a drive mechanism supported by the base and a cable extending from the drive mechanism, wrapped at least partially around the first pulley, and fixed relative to the platform support. The cable is configured to be tensioned by the drive mechanism such that the lift mechanism moves the platform to the raised position.

Axel-Latching Jack
20180305190 · 2018-10-25 ·

The current invention is a remote-controlled vehicle jack that attach to the axle or other jack attachment points. A motor is located at the top of the jack. The motor is operated remotely. A cylinder housing is positioned vertically having brackets that are attached to the cylinder housing. The bracket consists of two horizontal steel bars with a bolt that connects them when secure. With the top bar open, the bracket is placed around the axle. The bracket is secured by driving the screw through both bars. with the piston rod pushing downward. A baseplate is secured at the bottom end of the piston rod and will be the point of contact with the ground.
