A wheelchair lift for a passenger vehicle such as a passenger bus, a motorcoach, or a class A motorhome. The wheelchair lift includes a housing having sidewalls and a plurality if bearings and a carriage supporting one or more of electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components. A lift assembly is coupled to the carriage and includes a first rail and a second rail supported by the plurality of bearings. A first scissor leg assembly is coupled to the first rail and a second scissor leg assembly is coupled to the second rail, wherein each of the first scissor leg assembly and the second scissor leg assembly move between an expanded and a collapsed condition. A platform is coupled to the first the second scissor leg assemblies, wherein movement of the first scissor leg assembly and second scissor leg assembly between the expanded and collapsed condition adjusts a position of the platform.

A rotating structure for bearing section of workstation suitable for repairing or maintaining auto mobiles with large sized tires, has a main board, a supporting module, at least two corresponding loading boards and a plurality of long and shorter horizontal rods. The loading board has multiple sections, and the loading board further has a plurality of engaging apertures at a corresponding side facing the main board. Each longer horizontal rod and one shorter horizontal rod are paired together, the longer horizontal rod allows to the loading board to rotate and the shorter horizontal rod is secured between the loading board and the main board. By removing one of the shorter horizontal rod one end of the loading board is released for rotation.

A movable lifting bracket relates to a field of lifting bracket and includes bearing frames, a main frame, and a mobile frame arranged on a lower portion of the main frame. Universal wheels and directional wheels are arranged on a lower portion of the movable frame. Adjusting sleeves are arranged on upper ends of the movable frame. First through holes are on an outer side of each of the adjusting sleeves. Lower ends of the main frame are inserted into the adjusting sleeves. A first limit pin is arranged on the outer side of each of the adjusting sleeves; A pressing frame is arranged on the main frame.

A lift and tilt mechanism (1) is disclosed, comprising a base frame (10) and an upper lever arm (2) rotatably connected to each other by a lower lever arm (3) and a control rod (4), wherein a rotating arm (6) is rotatably connected to an upper lever arm (2), a torque arm (9) is rotatably connected to a lower lever arm (3), and the rotating arm (6) and the torque arm (9) are rotatably connected to each other, and wherein a power source (8) is rotatably connected to the upper lever arm (2) and directly or indirectly to the connection joint (19) for the rotating arm (6) and the torque arm (9), in such a way that an extension of the length of the power source (8) causes its suspension point (11) on the upper lever arm (2) to move in an substantially vertically direction, whereby the upper lever arm (2) is tilted towards a more upright position. Furthermore, a tilt system (21) comprising such a mechanism (1) is disclosed.

A system includes a platform to support a vehicle on a first side of the platform and a passive motion device arranged on a second side of the platform, opposite the first side, to move upon actuation. A mechanical actuator actuates the passive motion device based on movement of one or more wheels of the vehicle to change a position of the vehicle. The position of the vehicle relative to the platform is unchanged and the passive motion device is actuated by only the movement of the one or more wheels of the vehicle to change the position of the vehicle.

Provided is a system and method for an adjustable standing platform for a person. The adjustable standing platform includes a base structured and arranged to be disposed upon a support surface with a movable platform disposed above and generally parallel to the base, the movable platform having at least one removable foot pedal controller providing at least a portion of a standing area, each removable foot pedal controller in wireless communication with at least one associated remote base unit. An actuator couples the movable platform to the base, the actuator structured and arranged to move the movable platform generally towards or away from the base. A flexible outer element substantially enclosing the adjustable standing platform, the flexible outer element structured and arranged to expand and contract as the movable platform moves relative to the base. An associated method of providing and using the adjustable standing platform is also provided.

An integrated lift and dolly is presented which includes a lift mechanism for elevating a vehicle while simultaneously positioning wheels underneath to enable moving the vehicle as the vehicle's wheels are elevated off the ground. The lift assembly can further elevate the supporting frame to remove weight from the wheels of the lift assembly to allow long term storage without relying on the wheels to support the weight of the vehicle. This integrated lift and dolly lifts and supports the vehicle for storage and also facilitates easier service, inspection and cleaning.

A side saddle slingshot drilling rig includes a left and right substructure including a left and right lower box. The side saddle slingshot drilling rig includes a drill rig floor mechanically and pivotably coupled to the left and right lower boxes such that it is pivotably movable from a lowered position to a raised position. The drill rig floor includes a V-door. The V-door is positioned on the V-door side of the drill rig floor. The V-door side of the drill rig floor is oriented to face the right substructure. A mast coupled to the drill rig floor may include an open side, defining a mast V-door side. The mast V-door side may be oriented to face the right substructure. The mast may pivot into its raised position or may be a bootstrap mast.
