A system and method for reconditioning railcar side frames including an overhead conveyer system, a railcar side frame holder, where the side frame is secured in the side frame holder, where the side frame holder is movably engaged with the overhead conveyer. The side frame and side frame holder are moved along the conveyer to a plurality of stations to perform operations such as welding and grinding. The side frame holder enables the side frame to be rotated 360 degrees while secured in the side frame holder. The side frame holder includes a fixed side arm, a movable side arm, and a pair of frame guides.

An apparatus for installing and removing glass panels and methods of using the apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a base portion, a back support structure secured to the base portion, and a glass adjustment system moveably coupled to the back support structure. Methods for using the apparatus to install and remove glass panels from, for example, ice rink boards, are also disclosed.

A parking robot includes a lifting rail, a wheel clamp, and a lift motor. The wheel clamp is disposed on the lifting rail and is moveable from a first position to a second position along the lifting rail. The lift motor is operatively connected to the lifting rail and moves the wheel clamp from the first position to the second position.

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.

A shoe tying support assembly includes a frame that is positionable on a floor. A scissor lift is movably coupled to the frame and the scissor lift is actuatable between a lifted position and a lowered position. A platform is positioned on the scissor lift and the platform is spaced upwardly from the frame when the scissor lift is actuated into the lifted position. Thus, a user can position their foot on the platform for assisting with tying shoes. A tilting unit is coupled between the scissor lift and the platform and the tilting unit tilts the platform at a selectable angle of deflection from a horizontal plane to enhance comfort for the user to position the user's foot on the platform. A remote control is provided to remotely control the scissor lift and the tilting unit.

Disclosed is a tower lifting device for a rotary blasthole drill, comprising a hydraulic cylinder (5), an extending oil path (7), a retracting oil path (6), a speed control oil path (14) and a proximity switch (3), wherein the extending oil path (7) is connected to a non-rod-end chamber of the hydraulic cylinder (5), and an extension control unit is provided on the extending oil path (7); the retracting oil path (6) is connected to a rod-end chamber of the hydraulic cylinder (5), and a retraction control unit is provided on the retracting oil path (6); the speed control oil path (14) is connected to the retracting oil path (6), the speed control oil path (14) is connected to a speed control valve block (15) in series and the tail end thereof is connected to an oil tank (16); the proximity switch (3) is arranged on a tower supporting frame (2) for controlling the switching on and off of the speed control valve block (15), and when the tower (4) is approximately in a horizontal state, the speed control valve block (15) is on. By using such a tower lifting device in the present invention, the speed at which the tower is laid down to a horizontal state can be conveniently controlled.

A parking lift for vehicles. The parking lift includes a platform on which a vehicle can be parked and lifted by a pair of scissor-lifts configured to raise and lower the platform to enable parking of a second vehicle beneath the platform. A deck of the platform is provided with a gradual slope throughout its length to enable vehicles with low ground clearance to travel onto the platform without contacting an underside of the vehicle with the deck. Each of the scissor-lifts includes short leg and a long leg that is longer than the short leg. Upon actuation between lowered and raised positions, the legs raise an entry end of the platform a greater vertical distance than an opposite terminal end. The platform is thus tilted upward to place a deck thereof in a substantially level or downwardly sloping orientation from the entry end toward the terminal end.
