A transport trolley for transporting a load comprising a base mounted on motorized wheels, a deck mounted to be translationally mobile on the base in a direction of translation, a first motorized system displacing the deck, a hexapod platform comprising a platform and a set of six jacks in which each is mounted articulated between the deck and the platform. The platform comprises a plurality of bearing points configured to come under the load and each bearing point takes the form of a receptacle with its opening oriented upwards. A control unit controls each motorized wheel, the first motorized system and each jack. The use of a hexapod platform makes it possible to finely position the wing at its position of fixing onto the fuselage and the use of a mobile deck supporting the hexapod platform allows for adjustability of the position despite a smaller footprint around the aircraft.

An adapter assembly for lifting a vehicle includes an adapter defining a first pin aperture, a second pin aperture, and an adapter aperture, a first pin, a second pin, and a cross member removably received by the adapter aperture. The first pin is configured to be removably received by the first pin aperture and a first aperture defined by a frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame. The second pin is configured to be removably received by the second pin aperture and a second aperture defined by the frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame.

A lift attachment to be used on motorcycles is disclosed herein. The lift attachment includes floor jacks comprising a horizontal central cycle support section having a vertical member on each end which terminate in horizontal jack attachment members, where the device can be a single piece or composed of multiple pieces removably attached to one another. The lift attachment is then placed underneath a motorcycle. A jack lift is then mounted on the horizontal jack attachment members. The jack maybe a hydraulic jack or an automatic jack. A user may then actuate each of the jacks placed on the ends of the lift attachment. The lift attachment is then raised a predetermined height, thereby lifting the motorcycle a predetermined amount. The lift attachments raise a motorcycle the necessary height needed for working on a motorcycle.
