PLASTIC LINER FOR COVERING A LIFT BASKET
A light weight plastic liner adapted for receipt over an aerial lift basket. The lift basket mounted on a wheeled boom or scissor lift. The liner includes a floor cover and four side covers for covering an inside and an outside of four sides of a frame on the lift basket. Also, the liner includes a removable door cover for covering a hinged door on the lift basket. Further, the liner includes a bungee cord in a bottom seam of the liner for holding the liner in place on the lift basket.
Obstacle detection system for an aerial work platform
A platform assembly includes a work platform including a platform floor and a safety rail extending from the platform floor to a rail height, and a primary sensor unit secured to the work platform and positioned adjacent one of the platform floor and the safety rail. The primary sensor unit is configured to monitor an area from the platform floor or from the safety rail to a space above the rail height and forward and aft of the work platform. The platform assembly enhances protection for an operator from sustained involuntary operation resulting in an impact with an obstruction or structure.
Scissors lift platform
A scissor-lift platform comprises a scissor mechanism (1) and scissor elements (3) that are connected to form scissor element pairs by central bearings (2). At least one scissor element (3) of a scissor element pair has a bearing receiving element (4) that is removably connected to the scissor element (3) in order to receive the central bearing (2).
Apparatus for conveying delivered items into a building envelope
An apparatus for conveying delivered items into a building envelope translocates deliveries from a designated receiving area exterior to a building envelope via secure passage onto a deposit area locatable interior to the building envelope. Deposit of an item upon the receiving area signals presence of the delivery. The apparatus is operable automatically via command instantiated in circuit and/or over network in response to the signal.
Lockable lift device and method
A scissor lift includes a base, a platform, a plurality of pivotally connected scissor links, a support column, and a locking actuator. The platform has a fixed horizontal orientation and being movable between a first elevation and a second elevation. The scissor links are arranged in a crisscross pattern and operatively connecting the base and the platform. The lift actuator is pivotally attached to at least one of the scissor links to selectively raise and lower the platform along a lift path. The support column extends alongside the lift path and positioned adjacent to the platform. The locking actuator is fixed to an underside of the platform and includes a piston member extendable toward the support column to operatively connect the platform with the support column when the platform is raised at the second elevation so that the platform is supported by the support column in the fixed horizontal orientation.
In-Ground Lifting System for Lifting a Vehicle Comprising a Cover, and Method for Lifting a Vehicle
The invention relates to an in-ground lifting system and corresponding method for lifting a vehicle. The lifting system includes one or more lifts including at least one moveable lift; a support structure for mounting the one or more lifts in a pit; a moving drive configured for moving the one or more moveable lifts in the pit; a lifting drive configured for lifting one or more of the lifts for raising and/or lowering the vehicle; and a cover configured for covering the pit. The cover includes a number of cover elements. An individual cover element extends in a width direction of the pit. The cover elements are configured to move between a pit covering state and a lift moving state such that the one or more moveable lifts pass over and/or by the cover elements. The cover elements move when one of the one or more moveable lifts moving through the pit is approaching.
DOUBLE-X-SHAPED TIRE STABILIZER
A tire stabilizer includes a partially threaded rod, the rod having a smooth end and a threaded end; a first connector rotatably attached to smooth end of the rod; a second connector threadedly attached to the threaded end of the rod; four first supporting members, each first supporting member including a first end and a second end, the first end of the first supporting member being rotatably attached to the first connector; four second supporting members, each second supporting member including a first end and a second end, the first end of the second supporting member being rotatably attached to the second connector; and two first locking pads, each locking pad being rotatably attached to the second ends of two of the four first supporting members; and two second locking pads, each locking pad being rotatably attached to the second ends of two of the four second supporting member.
Vehicle lift device
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.
DOUBLE DECK ELEVATOR WITH LINEAR ACTUATOR ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
An illustrative example elevator assembly includes a header beam and a first elevator cab supported by the header beam. A plurality of vertically oriented rods extend beneath the first elevator cab. A horizontally oriented mid-beam is coupled to a first one of the rods near a first end of the mid-beam and coupled to a second one of the rods near a second end of the mid-beam. A second elevator cab is situated beneath the first elevator cab and beneath the mid-beam. At least one linear actuator is supported at least partially on the mid-beam. The linear actuator selectively causes vertical movement of the second elevator cab relative to the rods.
Pallet robot with scissor lift
The invention relates to a handling device (1), having a drive carriage (2) that is movable relative to a carrier (3), wherein a scissor lift (7) having a plurality of scissor-lift members (8) is arranged with its first end on the drive carriage (2), wherein a carrier plate (11) that is movable relative to the drive carriage (2) by means of the scissor lift (7) is arranged at the second end of the scissor lift (7), wherein: a gripping tool is arranged on the carrier plate (11), the scissor-lift members (8) are hollow throughout and are sealingly interconnected in order to actuate the gripping tool by means of a gaseous medium.
