A two-post vehicle lift system includes first and second posts extending longitudinally upwards from a floor. First and second carriages are slidably engaged with the first and second posts respectively. First and second swing arms are pivotally attached to the first carriage. Third and fourth swing arms are pivotally attached to the second carriage. First, second, third and fourth swing arm platforms are engaged with the first, second, third and fourth swing arms respectively. Each swing arm platform is positionable radially relative to its engaged swing arm. An adapter system is engageable with at least one swing arm platform and operable to be positioned to engage and lift a material handling vehicle. The adapter system includes one of a low profile adapter with a height adjustment mechanism, a low profile adapter with an outrigger arm capture mechanism, and an extended profile adapter with an outrigger arm capture mechanism.

A tower lift includes a main frame, a first carriage module and a second carriage module connected with each other inside the main frame at left and right sides of the main frame, respectively, having the same weight as each other, and configured to be moved in a vertical direction, and a driving module installed on the main frame and configured to move the first carriage module and the second carriage module in the vertical direction.

Disclosed are various embodiments of storage systems. In some embodiments, the storage system includes an upper frame, a guide tube that supports the upper frame, a pivot arm, and a side support. A first end of the pivot arm is rotatably coupled to the guide tube, and a second end of the pivot arm is rotatably coupled to a fixed pivot point. The side support includes a guide post that is inserted into the guide tube. The guide tube is configured to move along the guide post.

A vehicle parking apparatus includes two front stanchions and two rear stanchions all mounted on a base frame; a top support interconnecting the front stanchions and the rear stanchions; a platform having a rear end moveably secured to the rear stanchions, and two sides moveably secured to the front stanchions; and two elevating assemblies, each including a first pulley on an upper portion of one rear stanchion, a second pulley fixedly disposed on either side of the top support, a third pulley on either side of the platform, a fourth pulley fixedly disposed on a bottom of one rear stanchion, the fourth pulley being driven by a motor, and a rope having one end secured to the base frame, and the other end secured to the top support, the rope sequentially passing through the first pulley, the fourth pulley, the second pulley, and the third pulley.

A trolley for a lift assembly is disclosed. The trolley includes a drive portion and a lift portion separable from the drive portion. The lift portion includes one or more fittings configured to hold one or more wire ropes for raising and lower a platform hitched to the wire ropes. The drive portion is connectable to a drive assembly to move the drive portion and lift portion along a lift stroke. Pairs of trolleys are interconnected via tension lines or wires connected to the lift portions of the trolleys. The lift portions are configured to move independent of the drive portions through lift provided via the interconnection of the lift portions through the tension lines or wires.

Disclosed is a sporting vehicle lift that lifts a sporting vehicle and allows a car to be placed under the lifted vehicle. Sling arms that move vertically on a lift tower are connected to a lift pan with pivot connector to raise and lower the lift pan with respect to the floor and allow said lift pan to pivot. The lift pan rotates towards the tower by either placing the pivot connectors on the lift pan in a position so that the center of gravity causes the lift pan to rotate towards the tower, or by using a tilt arm, that is connected to the lift pan, which engages a pivot pin on the tower to rotate the lift pan as the lift pan is raised.

Provided is a system and method for positioning a load including an apparatus having a plurality of columns. Each column has a first support and a motor adapted to move the first support along an axis of the column. A second support is connected to at least two of the first supports and a track member for receiving a portion of a vehicle is connected to the second support. Load and position sensors are coupled to the apparatus for transmitting load and position signals. A controller is in communication with the columns and receives the load and position signals to compare the load and position signals to generate at least one control signal that is sent to at least one of said motors for controlling the position of at least one of said first supports.
