Leveraged trailer lift
11479216 · 2022-10-25 ·

This disclosure teaches a device and a system having a gear reduction ratio for use with power tools to mechanically connect to drive shafts of trailer jacks. The device enables the power tools to extend or retract the legs of the trailer jacks in an efficient and easy manner. The device may be installed or retrofitted to existing high capacity trailers or integrated with newly manufactured trailers. In some embodiments, the device has a first interface, a gear train or an equivalent torque magnification mechanism, and a second interface. The first interface enables a power tool or a hand tool to rotationally engage the gear train. The second interface enables the output torque from the gear train to apply to rotate a shaft to raise and/or lower one or more trailer jacks. A power drill can thus couple with the first interface to lift or lower the trailer.

Automatic vehicle elevation system
11472379 · 2022-10-18 ·

Disclosed is a system for automatically elevating vehicles. The system is a substitute for standard, manually-operated car jacks, and jack stands. One or more systems may be installed underneath a vehicle. To lift a vehicle off the ground, the system utilizes a multi-stage actuator. The actuator may be powered, by either DC motor system, AC motor system, pneumatic system, or hydraulic system. The actuator is protected from distractive external elements by being situated inside a housing, integrating a retractable, electric door. The actuator is equipped with a high load universal joint, and attached thereto durable, non-skid plate. Acting in unity, the universal joint and the non-skid plate, ensures that the vehicle being elevated remains level on uneven ground, and during the operation of the Elevation System. The end-user may initiate the operation of the Elevation System manually via a control panel, or via a mobile application.
