A lifting apparatus for an industrial processing station, i.e., a lifting table for conveying a body shell during series production of motor vehicles, wherein the lifting apparatus conveys a workpiece on a top frame moved in a purely vertical direction, where the lifting apparatus has, as first vertical guide, at least one isosceles slider-crank mechanism actuated by a motorized drive element, where the isosceles slider-crank mechanism, which consists of a fixed-bearing swing arm with a swing-arm bearing thereof, a control arm with a control-arm guide, a control-arm central joint and a fixed-bearing joint connected to the top frame, is configured to move via actuation of the tie rod acting on the fixed-bearing swing arm, and where particular use of an isosceles slider-crank mechanism, which is also known literature as a Scott-Russell mechanism, provides a simple and effective vertical guide system that allows low overall heights with a minimum production outlay.

In a vehicle lift device, an undulating link device of each of the raising/lowering devices has each link displaced along the left-right direction orthogonal to an approach direction of a vehicle, and keeps a vehicle support table in a horizontal state to be raised and lowered only in the vertical direction.

Provided is a lifting device, lifting system and method for lifting a vehicle. The lifting device according to the invention includes a frame with a carrier configured for carrying the vehicle; a drive which acts on the carrier, wherein the drive includes an integrated hydraulic cylinder drive unit configured for raising the carrier with the integrated hydraulic cylinder drive unit including: a housing of a cylinder; a piston rod movable in the housing; a height measuring system configured for measuring the displacement of the piston rod; and an integrated hydraulic fluid tank and motor unit that is configured for driving the piston rod.

An adjustable desk mountable workstation (90) comprising: a platform (12) adapted to support a computer keyboard thereon; and a pair of symmetrically opposed legs (91) for standing or mounting on a desk and on which the platform (12) is mounted, the legs (91) being adjustable so as to alter the height of the platform (12) above the desk, each leg (91) having outer and inner ends, wherein adjustment of the legs (91) involves concomitant pivoting without displacement at their respective outer ends and pivoting plus horizontal displacement at their respective inner ends, thereby altering the height of the platform (91) with respect to the desk.

A multi-functional cargo transfer vehicle and method. The multi-functional cargo transfer vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a cargo conveying rack, a lifting mechanism, and a control system; the vehicle body is located below for providing a platform and support; the cargo conveying rack is located above the vehicle body and includes a plurality of layers for loading and unloading cargoes; the lifting mechanism is located on the outer side of the cargo conveying rack for lifting the cargo conveying rack; the control system is located on the vehicle body for controlling omni-directional driving, accurate butt joint, and automatic loading and unloading of the multi-functional cargo transfer vehicle. Accordingly, a multi-functional cargo transfer vehicle is adopted such that the multi-task functions of loading and unloading, transporting, and conveying of cargoes are simultaneously realized, thereby efficiently completing the transferring process of cargoes from a storage place to a transporting carrier.

This invention relates to vehicle lift which comprises: a platform (2)
to support a vehicle, two scissor-like structures (4) for supporting the platform (2), each provided with one first leg (5a) which can rest on the ground (S) and with a second leg (5b) which can rotate about a main axis (A) of rotation, and respective apparatuses (7) for the synchronous movement of the structures (4), each of them being configured for the relative rotation of the legs (5a, 5b) about the main axis (A) and for the consequent upward or downward movement of the platform (2), which is kept parallel to the ground (S), and comprises a linear actuator (8), for moving a kinematic system (9) coupled to the legs (5a, 5b). The kinematic system (9) comprises: a first auxiliary lever (10a), articulated with a first end portion of it to the second leg (5b) and with a second end portion of it, opposite the first, to a second auxiliary lever (10b), articulated at the opposite end to a slider (11) which can slide by virtue of the action of the actuator (8) along a track (2a) which is integral with the platform (2), a first connecting lever (12a), articulated to the first leg (5a) and to a second connecting lever (12b), articulated at the opposite end to a sliding element, (13) which can slide in a guiding slot (14) provided along the slider (11).
