A lift and tilt mechanism (1) is disclosed, comprising a base frame (10) and an upper lever arm (2) rotatably connected to each other by a lower lever arm (3) and a control rod (4), wherein a rotating arm (6) is rotatably connected to an upper lever arm (2), a torque arm (9) is rotatably connected to a lower lever arm (3), and the rotating arm (6) and the torque arm (9) are rotatably connected to each other, and wherein a power source (8) is rotatably connected to the upper lever arm (2) and directly or indirectly to the connection joint (19) for the rotating arm (6) and the torque arm (9), in such a way that an extension of the length of the power source (8) causes its suspension point (11) on the upper lever arm (2) to move in an substantially vertically direction, whereby the upper lever arm (2) is tilted towards a more upright position. Furthermore, a tilt system (21) comprising such a mechanism (1) is disclosed.

A lifting system for lifting a vehicle, including a mobile frame with a moveable carrier configured for carrying the vehicle; a drive which acts on the carrier and has a hydraulic system; a measurement system including a sensor configured for indirect measurement of the height of the carrier, with the sensor configured for generating an indirect measurement signal from the hydraulic system that is indicative for the height of the carrier, or a change thereof; and a controller configured for controlling the height of the carrier in response to the indirect measurement signal of the measurement system.

A motor vehicle lift includes at least one lane, two legs articulated thereto, each made of a single arm, at least one actuator associated with each leg and configured to vary the inclination of the leg with respect to the horizontal plane to cause lifting and lowering of the lane, and a synchronized control unit for the actuators. The legs connected to the lane are arranged symmetrically with respect to a transversal median plane of the lift. The lower end of each leg is articulated in correspondence with a first fixed transversal axis to a base for anchoring to a floor. The upper end of each leg is articulated in correspondence with a second transverse axis to a trolley sliding along the respective lane. Between at least leg of each lane and the section of lane which in the raised configuration forms an angle less than 90 with said leg.

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).

A combined lift and tilt system including a lower frame, an upper frame, a first lever arm rotatably connected to the lower frame, and a second lever arm rotatably connected to the first lever arm and to the upper frame and in sliding engagement with the lower frame. The system further including a first linear power source rotatably connected to the lower frame and to the first lever arm, and a second linear power source rotatably connected to the upper frame and to the second lever arm.

A lift includes: at least one lane, two legs articulated to the lane, each made of a single arm, an actuator associated with each leg and configured to vary the leg's inclination with respect to the horizontal plane and to lift and lower the lane, and a synchronized control unit of the actuator. The two legs articulated to lane are arranged symmetrically with respect to a transversal median plane of the lift. The lower end of each leg is articulated to a base for anchoring to a floor. The upper end of each leg is articulated to the respective lane in correspondence with a transverse axis to a carriage sliding along the lane. The carriages are connected to each other by a pair of flexible traction elements, each connected with its ends to the two carriages and is returned by a respective transmission member mounted idly on the lane.
