Arm restraints for vehicle lift and vehicle lift including the same
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle lift which is equipped with a safety assembly preventing a load-carrier arm to pivot once the vehicle is being lifted. The vehicle lift includes a lifting post which has a base, an upward post extending from the base, a carriage which is slidably and operatively mounted to the post structure, as well as a pivotable load-carrier arm pivotally mounted to the carriage for providing a support to the vehicle being lifted. Pivot of the arm provides positioning and adjustment beneath the vehicle. The vehicle lift further includes an arm restraint coupled to the load-carrier arm. The arm restraint is configured to operate between a released configuration, where a portion of the arm restraint engages with the base, thereby allowing the load-carrier arm to pivot, and a locked configuration, where the arm restraint is positioned above the base, thereby preventing the load-carrier arm from pivoting.
Expandable cord protector
A cord protector comprising at least one elongated body and at least one coupler. The elongated body has a base and a lid, and has a cavity in each of the first end and second end of the elongated body. The base has a channel extending between the first end and the second end in which a cord may rest. The channel may have one or more ridges. The lid is configured to insert into and cover the channel, and may have one or more grooves sized and shaped to receive a ridge. The coupler has a leading end and a trailing end. The leading end is sized and shaped to mate with the cavity of the first end and the trailing end is sized and shaped to mate with the cavity of the second end. Multiple elongated bodies can be coupled together through the use of the couplers.
Safety Catch System
A safety latch system includes a mount, a pawl member, a ratchet member, and a release assembly. The mount is mountable on a housing of a piston. The pawl member is coupled to the mount. The pawl member includes a pawl. The ratchet member has a first sidewall that includes a first connecting portion that is connectable to an end portion of a piston rod of the piston. The first sidewall includes a teeth portion, which is configured to engage with the pawl. The release assembly is configured to provide an engaged state between the pawl member and the ratchet member. The release assembly is also configured to provide a disengaged state between the pawl member and the ratchet member. When in the engaged state, the pawl member is engaged with the ratchet member such that the safety latch system is configured to provide (i) an unlocked state in which the ratchet member is movable relative to the pawl member as the piston rod advances outward from the housing and (ii) a locked state in which the pawl member is configured to lock into a depression between adjacent teeth of the ratchet member to stop the piston rod from moving towards the housing. When in the disengaged state, the pawl member is disengaged from the ratchet member to permit the piston rod to advance outward from the housing and permit the piston rod to retract towards the housing.
LIFT WITH HALO LIGHT
A vehicle lift assembly includes a control unit and a first lift device. The first lift device includes a lifting carriage, a lift actuation assembly that can actuate the lifting carriage between a lowered position and a raised position, and an indicator assembly. The indicator assembly can generate a visual indicator on a surface proximal to the first lift device under control of the control unit, such as one selected as a function of a state of the first lift device.

SERVICE LIFT FOR UTILITY VEHICLES
A configurable service lift for servicing a utility vehicle in a cantilevered elevated condition. A carriage is carried on a vertical mast for travel between its lower and upper ends. The carriage independently supports the inboard and the outboard ends of the utility vehicle using at least one inboard platform and at least one outboard attachment carried on a boom. The inboard platform attached to the carriage and supports the inboard end of the utility vehicle. The boom extends longitudinally rearwardly to a distal lifting end upon with the outboard attachment is secured. The distal lifting end is moveable relative to the carriage in three directions—vertically, longitudinally and laterally. Retractable outrigger legs can be added for stability. The service lift can be a stationary fixture or configured with a towing package for mobile use. Optional tool holding accessories and an integrated waste oil receptacle are possible.

Telescoping jack for lifting large capacity trucks
A jack, comprising: a top plate having at least one adapter block mounted thereon and adapted to contact a load; an intermediate plate; a base plate; a first pair of actuators coupled between the base and intermediate plates; and, a second pair of actuators coupled between respective lowered portions of the intermediate plate and the top plate; wherein one of the first pair of actuators is positioned on the base plate on either side of the respective lowered portions; wherein the actuators are operable to move the top and intermediate plates between respective lowered and raised positions to thereby lower and raise the load; and, wherein a top adapter plate of the at least one adapter block is operable to slide between first and second positions across the top plate as the load is raised and lowered to maintain alignment of the top, intermediate, and base plates below the load.
