An intake-exhaust transport apparatus, a mobile power generation system and an assembling method thereof are provided. The assembling method includes: roughly adjusting a position of the intake-exhaust system in a second direction with respect to the power generation apparatus by the second conveyance; jacking up the intake assembly and the exhaust duct as a whole, to be higher than a height of the power generation apparatus by the lifting mechanism; moving the power generation apparatus to a region under the intake-exhaust system by the first conveyance and adjusting a position of the power generation apparatus in the first direction with respect to the intake-exhaust system; and connecting the intake assembly and the exhaust duct to a top of the power generation apparatus.

A system is used for lifting a heavy oversized structural element. At least two opposing lifts are placement adjacent opposing sides of the element. Each lift includes a base, a tower, an elevator, and an actuator. The tower extending vertically from the base, and the elevator is disposed on the tower. A support extends from the elevator outward from the tower to engage a point on the element. A guide of the elevator is configured to ride along a rail of the tower. The actuator is connected to the elevator and is configured to move with the elevator vertically along the tower. The actuator can include a strand jack disposed on the elevator. Hydraulic operation of the stand jack moves the jack and elevator along a strand extending along the tower. The arrangements of the lifts leave space below the raised element free for access to other operations.

A lift for raising or moving loads is disclosed. The lift is autonomous and comprises several parts for sensing and communicating as well as actuating a displacement. In some instances, the lift is moveable and includes optical and other sensors and can furthermore determine one or more vehicle wheel locations to position itself and raise a vehicle up off of the ground.

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.

A telescoping lift arm for a two-post vehicle lift has pivot structure radially offset from a longitudinal axis of the arm. An outer arm section is open at a distal end to enable an inner arm section to be retracted therethrough. A pair of the arms are bilaterally symmetrical and configured to be removable from lift carriages to enable lateral swapping of the arms.
