A system for controlling a vehicle lift that operates to linearly displace a vehicle with respect to a floor. The system includes a supplemental support configured to be positioned between the vehicle and the floor when the vehicle is in a raised position, a support receiver configured to receive the supplemental support, a sensor configured to detect a presence or absence of the support within the support receiver, and an electronic control unit including a processor and a memory unit that is coupled to the processor. The electronic control unit configured to determine whether the supplemental support is positioned within the support receiver based on an output of the sensor, and in response to determining that the supplemental support is not positioned within the support receiver, prevent the vehicle lift from operating to linearly displace the vehicle with respect to the floor.

Wireless portable vehicle lift system incorporating one or more enhanced communication and/or control features. The lift system can incorporate enhanced wireless communication features such as the ability to automatically scan a plurality of communication channels, determine a clearest communication channel, and use the clearest communication channel for wireless communication.

There is provided an apparatus for the repair of post-collision or damaged vehicles or those under maintenance, which includes a lifter (1) having an upper platform (2) supported by a lifting mechanism (3) connected to a resting base (4) mounted on the ground. The lifter (1) is activated by an actuator (5) which adjusts the upper platform (2) to the desired height. Wheel resting/gripping supports (6) for the vehicle are removably fixed to the upper platform and allow the vehicle to be lifted and lowered by the lifter. Pushing and/or pulling and/or anchoring equipments (7) for the vehicle are movably mounted on a sliding element (8) which is adapted to be slideably mounted within the structure of the wheel resting/gripping supports thereby allowing the quick mounting and centering of the pushing/pulling/anchoring equipments (7) to the desired points of the vehicle under repair.

Method and related system to set-up and control a system for lifting loads, preferably motor vehicles, includes causing the user to be positioned at each column to be registered as belonging to the system and to provide an activation command in the user interface of each column to register it as belonging to the lifting system, the user interface providing no information to the user about the position of that column in relation to the other columns and to the load. The user then moves each registered column to any of the operating positions for lifting the load; by acting on the user interface of one of the registered columns, assigns to that column the role of command column; and commands, by acting on the user interface of the command column, the simultaneous lifting/lowering of at least one or all the columns of the lifting system.

A portable and foldable lift can be attached to a surface such as a tailgate of a truck. The lift can be slid off the gate and used to lift heavy objects from the ground to the bed of the truck. The portable and foldable lift is returned in a folded position to the tailgate for easy storage. The portable and foldable lift can also be attached to a work bench, either on top or underneath, and can be folded up and stored out of the way.
