A vehicle lift includes a lift platform which can be selectively moved in a range between one or more raised positions which are level from the front to the rear and a lowered position where the lift platform is tilted for loading and unloading. A vehicle may be supported on the lift platform. The vehicle lift may be arranged in a trailer.

The present invention relates to a special vehicle for extinguishing a vehicle fire, comprising a seating unit 100 in which a driver is seated, a loading unit 200 disposed at a rear end of the seating unit and configured to load a vehicle on fire, and a transfer unit 300 configured to transfer the vehicle into the loading unit, in which an opening portion through which the vehicle is transferred is formed at a rear side of the loading unit 200, in which the transfer unit 300 is hingedly and rotatably coupled to a lower end of the opening portion, in which the transfer unit 300 serves as a ramp for transferring the vehicle into the loading unit when the opening portion is opened, and in which the transfer unit 300 serves to isolate the loading unit 200 when the opening portion is closed.

A system and method including a counter pressure mechanism with a retractable wheel lift arm that retracts into a compact position underneath a bed of a recovery vehicle when not in use; a wheel lift base plate for supporting the retractable wheel lift arm, and increasing a stability of the counter pressure mechanism while winching a vehicle for towing purposes; wherein the counter pressure mechanism is configured to be operable for transferring pressure from winching the vehicle to the wheel lift base plate and distribute the pressure into a ground; and a wheel lift bracket having adjustable arms that are configured to move in and out to adjust to different widths of vehicles. The system further including a winching mechanism having a winch implement; a winch cable; a cable guide; and a pulley device.

A car hauler with battery powered electric actuators as the sole mechanism for positioning the vehicle decks. The electric actuator system completely replaces and eliminates the need for the traditional car hauler hydraulic system requiring pumps, valves, hydraulic hoses, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic fluid reservoir, and hydraulic fluid to position the vehicle decks. The electric actuators are self-locking and do not need to be pinned like traditional hydraulic actuators. The overall weight of the electric actuator system is much less than the hydraulic actuator system and permits complete loading and unloading of the car hauler without running the diesel tractor engine.

A support structure for supporting vehicles one above the other during transport or storage, the structure comprising a base frame having four corner posts extending generally vertically when in use to support a separate upper frame on which an upper vehicle can be supported in an elevated transport position, and one or more separate lower frames arranged to be positioned within the base frame when in use on which a lower vehicle can be supported. The upper frame is guided up the corner posts when the upper vehicle is raised to the elevated transport position. The base frame, upper and lower frames are transportable in a collapsed state when not in use by folding the corner posts down and collapsing the base frame, upper frame and lower frame so that they occupy less space with the upper, and lower and base frames in a nested configuration.

A vehicle transport truck or trailer with a platform having at least a first section and a second section is configured such that the first section is operable to move to at least a raised position and a lowered position. A ramp is provided that connects the first section and the second section of the platform, the ramp being operable to move in conjunction with the first section. A linkage mechanism is also provided and is configured to move in conjunction with the first section of the platform. Moving the first section of the platform causes the linkage mechanism to correspondingly move the ramp such that when the first section is in the raised position the ramp is substantially aligned with the first section and when the first section is in the lowered position the ramp is not aligned with the first section.
