A lifting apparatus has two frame assemblies positioned one above the other, so as to be mutually parallel, with respect to a vertical direction, the lower frame assembly suspended on the upper frame assembly using lifting traction means, such that the lower frame assembly can be drawn up towards the upper frame assembly by winding the lifting traction means, and the lower frame assembly can be lowered relative to the upper frame assembly by unwinding the lifting traction means. Oblique traction means extend between the frame assemblies that can be wound and unwound using a tensioning device, two of which mutually intersect such that the lower frame assembly is stabilized, relative to the upper frame assembly, in at least one deflection direction transverse to the vertical direction. The tensioning device may comprise four tensioning drives. According to an alternative exemplary embodiment, the tensioning device may comprise only two tensioning drives.

The disclosure relates to a device for parking a plurality of vehicles or the like above one another, wherein at least one platform is provided, which can be raised and lowered by a lifting device, and a constant velocity traction element is provided on each side of the platform. Each constant velocity traction element is guided at least through a roller on the platform and the rollers of two constant velocity traction elements are connected for rotation by a constant velocity shaft.

The present invention provides an automated removable frame system for transporting vehicles in a container. The frame system is be assembled in the container, the vehicles are loaded on the frame system, the container is shipped to the location, the vehicles are unloaded from the frame system, and the frame system is disassembled and returned to the manufacture or stored for later use.

An automotive lift system includes at least one stationary primary lift and a mobile lift caddy configured to remove a vehicle from a primary lift while the vehicle is elevated above the workplace floor and then transport the vehicle to another location. The lift system employs detachable pivotable lift arms that are removably attached to the lift arms of the primary lift, and which can transfer to the lift caddy. Also, the lift caddy may have clamp lift pads that can be used to remove the vehicle from the primary lift and either also remove the pivot lift arms or not remove the pivot lift arms. This system can also be used on existing primary lifts.

A lifting device, in particular for lifting and lowering loads, vehicles or similar, having a vertical lifting column, having a support arranged on the lifting column, which is guided by a guide on the lifting column and is able to be driven vertically along the lifting column, having a drive device for lifting and lowering the support and a load receiver arranged on the support, wherein the load receiver is able to be driven over and has a drive-on region, a support region and a drive-off region which are arranged in a row along a mutual axis in the drive-over direction and the load receiver has a holding arm outside of the support region and outside of the drive-over direction of the drive-on region or drive-off region.

A solid mast raiser system is disclosed herein. The solid mast raiser system may include a slot configured to house a mast. Further, the slot may be further configured to be inserted in to a predrilled bore in the ground. Further, a length of the slot may be matched to a depth of the predrilled bore in the ground. Further, the solid mast raiser system may include a stanchion configured to be attached to the slot. Further, the stanchion may be concentrically aligned with the slot. Further, the stanchion may rest upon a cable. Further, the solid mast raiser system may include a launcher coupled to the stanchion through a cable. Further, the launcher may be configured to raise and retract the stanchion. Further, the launcher may be configured to be affixed to the ground. Further, the launcher may comprise a first hole concentrically aligned with the slot.

A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.
