Wireless portable vehicle lift system incorporating one or more enhanced communication and/or control features. The lift system can incorporate enhanced touch screen-enabled functionalities and/or enhanced wireless communication features.

An underwater operation platform, including: a main body; two ducted propellers disposed at the tail end of the main body; a living building; pile legs; a tower crane; a submergence module; lifting devices; and a gantry crane. The main body includes a deck and a moonpool. The submergence module includes a support plate, a plurality of truss members, and a base plate. The living building disposed on the front end of the deck. The pile legs are disposed at the four corners of the main body, respectively. The deck includes two parallel pathways which are located at two sides of the moonpool, respectively, for supporting the gantry crane. The lifting devices are disposed on the deck and are close to four corners of the moonpool. The support plate and the base plate are integrated with the plurality of truss members.

A pallet lifter for raising and lowering a pallet. The pallet lifter includes a pallet platform and a movement mechanism that controllably causes the pallet platform to raise and lower. The pallet platform includes a top surface designed to support a pallet, two side walls, and a back wall. The movement mechanism includes a motor and a threaded rod. The electric motor is designed to cause the threaded rod to rotate in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction to cause said pallet platform to raise and lower.

The lifting platform (10) has at least two lateral pillars (12, 14, 33). Each pillar has height-changeable, pivotable arms (13, 34, 44) that are displaceable telescopically in length. An end of each arm has a decoupling device with a receptacle (31, 41) for supporting an object. A carrying device (11, 50) has receiving points corresponding to the number of the receptacles (31, 41). The lifting platform and the carrying device are positioned with respect to each other without impairing an object resting on the at least one receptacle. The at least one receptacle (31, 41) is placed onto the at least one receiving point, and the carrying device (11, 50) together with the transferred at least one receptacle (31, 41) and an object thereon is removed from a region of the lifting platform (10).

A pallet lifter for raising and lowering a pallet. The pallet lifter includes a pallet platform, a lifting frame that supports the pallet platform, and a movement mechanism that controllably causes the pallet platform to raise and lower. The pallet platform includes a top surface designed to support a pallet, two side walls and a back wall. The lifting frame includes two sets of legs. One end of one or both of the two legs of each set of legs is moveable along a longitudinal axis of the pallet platform as the pallet platform is raised and lowered. The movement mechanism includes a motor and a threaded rod. The electric motor is designed to cause the threaded rod to rotate in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction to cause said pallet platform to raise and lower.

Disclosed is a portable knockdown boat hoist for lifting boat from boat trailer or other resting location. Comprising of two A-frame structures positioned over the bow and stern of the boat. Each A-frame unit consists of two splayed legs on each side of the boat connected by a crossmember running over the top of the boat. At each side of the boat attached to one leg is a winch with a block and pulley connected by cable to the winch. Cranking up on the winch pulls up a lifting strap running underneath the hull of the boat, which in turn lifts the boat. The A-frame structures are comprised of tube sections that insert one end into the next section. A-frame units can be disassembled for transporting to boat location for lifting.

Ground care maintenance systems, lift adapters for turning standard vehicle lifts into ground care maintenance or turf lifts, and methods for converting vehicle lifts to ground care maintenance or turf lifts are disclosed. The ground care maintenance system includes a two post pivoting arm lift and a lift adapter configured to couple to the two post pivoting arm lift. The lift adapter including four arm covers and two adapter members each coupled to two arm covers. The method for converting a vehicle lift to a ground care maintenance or turf lift and the turf lift back to the vehicle lift are also disclosed.

A light-weight kit for lifting vehicles, configured to be removably added to and used with a two-post vehicle lift by one person with no tools or with just conventional hand tools. A kit may include a pair of support beams each extending longitudinally from a front end to a back end and each comprising at least two arm connection structures each configured to removably engage and be supported by the vehicle support pad structures on the ends of the arms of the vehicle lift. A pair of baskets may be configured to support a vehicle each have an upwardly-concave cross-section extending between first and second transversely spaced hanging structures configured to be removably and selectably attached with and supported by the support beams at longitudinally-spaced mounting positions on the support beam.

An apparatus for operating a vehicle lift comprises at least one lifting assembly, a control unit, and a control pendant. The control pendant is configured to remotely control the motion of the vehicle lift through the control unit. The control pendant is configured to permit the lifting of a vehicle by the push of a single button on the control pendant. To permit lifting of a vehicle with a single button, the control pendant comprises a menu screen and a plurality of menu buttons. The menu screen and the plurality of menu buttons may be used together by a user to select one vehicle profile of a plurality of vehicle profiles. The selected vehicle profile may correspond to the vehicle being lifted. The selected vehicle profile provides specific data with respect to how the at least one lifting assembly should be moved for the particular vehicle being lifted.
