The present disclosure provides embodiments of tilt hoists and lumber unstacking systems with a rotation table, a tier alignment system, or both. The rotation table may include a base and a tilt frame supported on the base. The tier alignment system may include an alignment beam and an actuator operable to raise and lower one end of the alignment beam relative to the opposite end to thereby adjust the lateral slope of the spill edge. Optionally, a control system may include distance sensors to detect tiers of lumber as they approach the spill edge and a computer system configured to determine a difference between the lateral slope of the tier and the lateral slope of the spill edge. The computer system may also be configured to automatically adjust the slope of the spill edge to match the slope of the tier before the tier is spilled over the spill edge.

A lifter includes a support base, a first elevating stand assembly, a first elevating-drive mechanism, a turning-drive mechanism and a bracket mechanism. A lower portion of the first elevating stand assembly is provided with two sets of first fixing racks. The support base is symmetrically mounted on the first fixing racks. One side of the first elevating stand assembly is provided with a first elevating-drive mechanism. A first elevating stand is installed inside the first elevating stand assembly. The first elevating-drive mechanism drives the first elevating stand to move through the transmission mechanism. The turning-drive mechanism is provided with a support base. One end of the support base is hinged to a movable support frame. The other end of the support base is provided with a locking assembly. The turning-drive mechanism is provided with a bracket mechanism.

A transport trolley for transporting a load comprising a base mounted on motorized wheels, a deck mounted to be translationally mobile on the base in a direction of translation, a first motorized system displacing the deck, a hexapod platform comprising a platform and a set of six jacks in which each is mounted articulated between the deck and the platform. The platform comprises a plurality of bearing points configured to come under the load and each bearing point takes the form of a receptacle with its opening oriented upwards. A control unit controls each motorized wheel, the first motorized system and each jack. The use of a hexapod platform makes it possible to finely position the wing at its position of fixing onto the fuselage and the use of a mobile deck supporting the hexapod platform allows for adjustability of the position despite a smaller footprint around the aircraft.

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.

A balance and lift parking apparatus increases parking space availability and therefore allows users to park more than one automobile vertically. The balance and lift parking apparatus includes a support structure, a parking platform, a first wheel track, and a second wheel track. The support structure is the structural base of the balance and lift parking apparatus. Further, the support structure allows the balance and lift parking apparatus to support the weight of automobiles. Moreover, the support structure provides a clearance area from the ground surface which allows at least one automobile to be parked. The parking platform provides a surface on which at least one automobile may traverse onto. The first wheel track and the second wheel track are used to guide at least one automobile onto and along the parking platform.

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.

The present invention belongs to the field of frames and mechanisms for lifting vehicles and other heavier objects or persons. The invention relates to a transportable foldable lifting platform preferably useful for lifting vehicles with the purpose of their exposition. The essence of the invention is in that it comprises: a base triangular construction (2) and suitable plate and/or sleds (21) for a vehicle, arranged on the base triangular construction to which the vehicle may be driven; three three-part lifting legs (3), wherein each of the lifting legs is equipped with at least one hydraulic cylinder (34) and with a parallelogram mechanism, so that the parallelogram can be folded or extended depending on the position of both parts of the lifting legs, which is defined with each of the hydraulic cylinders controlled with suitable hydraulic valves; a drive part; and electronics for controlling hydraulic valves of the hydraulic cylinders, movement of each of the lifting legs and ensures self-adjustability of the platform.

The invention relates to an axle lifting device comprising a load bearing support body; a base portion proximate a lower end of the support body, wherein an upwardly curved portion extends from the base portion, the upwardly curved portion including a plurality stepped formations for frictionally engaging the ground; and an axle seat proximate an upper end of the support body, to support or accommodate the axle of the vehicle or trailer, wherein the axle lifting device can rotate on the curved portion between a lowered position and a lifted position, wherein the axle seat extends substantially upright with respect to the ground with the base portion engaging the ground, for lifting the axle off the ground, with the stepped formations functionally and sequentially engaging the ground as the axle lifting device moves between the lowered and lifted positions
