A telescopic column includes at least two telescopic elements movable with respect to one another between two end positions and at least one damper that is configured such that, prior to reaching at least one of the end positions, a force slowing the relative movement of the telescopic elements is exerted on at least one of the telescopic elements.

Pumping machine (650, 750) comprising: at least two tubular elements (651, 751) containing pressurized gas and extending vertically in parallel and interconnected between them by means of a connecting element (652, 752); and an electromechanical lifting system (600, 700) comprising a first cylinder (601, 701), interconnected to the tubular elements (651, 751) and comprising a substance compressible by a piston (601b, 701b); and a screw (602, 702) with a vertical axis Y coinciding with the axis of the pumping machine (650, 750). The screw (602, 702) is inserted inside a second thrust cylinder (658, 758), connected in sliding manner inside the first cylinder (601, 701), and has a first end (602b, 702b) fixed to the connecting element (652, 752) and a second end (602a, 702a) configured for sliding inside the thrust cylinder (658, 758) and overlying a chamber (605, 705) comprising lubrication and cooling oil overlying the piston (601b, 701b).

Maneuverable ergonomic trailer stands are disclosed. An example portable trailer stand includes: an elongate upper ledge, a post coupled to the upper ledge, an extendible leg telescopically coupled to the post, the upper ledge being vertically movable to selectively engage and disengage an underside of a trailer based on movement of the extendible leg relative to the post, and a plurality of wheels coupled to the post, the post to maintain the plurality of wheels at a substantially fixed distance from the upper ledge as the upper ledge is vertically moved, each of the plurality of wheels to be equidistant from a vertical axis traversing through a center of the upper ledge.

An all-terrain vehicle jack for lifting and all-terrain vehicle wheel off the ground to service it in the field with portable equipment includes an inner tube coupled to a base positionable on a support surface with an outer tube telescopically coupled to the inner tube. A rod is rotationally coupled to the outer tube about a fixed point on the rod and is operationally coupled to the inner tube via a threaded coupling such that rotation of the rod translates the outer tube telescopically relative to the inner tube. A socket adapter is coupled to the rod to facilitate rotation of the rod by an impact driver. An arm configured to abut a lower surface of an all-terrain vehicle control arm is removably couplable at various positions to the outer tube.

A moving body includes a housing, a traction motor, a plurality of elevator motors and a battery. The traction motor allows the housing to travel along a traveling surface. The plurality of elevator motors actuates an elevator unit, the elevator unit being configured to be elevated and lowered with respect to the traveling surface. The battery supplies electric power to the traction motor and the plurality of elevator motors. In the moving body, the plurality of elevator motors, the traction motor, and the battery are distributed when viewed perpendicularly to the traveling surface. The moving body further comprises at least one driving wheel to support the housing on the traveling surface. The plurality of elevator motors, the traction motor, and the battery fall, in a direction perpendicular to the traveling surface, within a range defined by a diameter of the at least one driving wheel.
