A lowering mechanism for a hand held jacking tool comprises a caulking gun jacking mechanism. The lowering mechanism comprises a lowering plate on top of the holding plate, a pushing lever connected with a hinge attachment to the lowering plate at a rear end, wherein the pushing lever is pivoting around a pivot structure connected to the lever or holding plate a distance backward from the hinge attachment, causing the lowering plate to grip the jacking shaft when the lever is pushed downwards and then, in turn, pushing the holding plate downwards and loosening it from the jacking shaft and moving it down along the jacking shaft a distance determined by the pivoting action of the lever. The lowering plate is held in place by a spring biasing the lowering plate towards the holding plate.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle lift which is equipped with a safety assembly preventing a load-carrier arm to pivot once the vehicle is being lifted. The vehicle lift includes a lifting post which has a base, an upward post extending from the base, a carriage which is slidably and operatively mounted to the post structure, as well as a pivotable load-carrier arm pivotally mounted to the carriage for providing a support to the vehicle being lifted. Pivot of the arm provides positioning and adjustment beneath the vehicle. The vehicle lift further includes an arm restraint coupled to the load-carrier arm. The arm restraint is configured to operate between a released configuration, where a portion of the arm restraint engages with the base, thereby allowing the load-carrier arm to pivot, and a locked configuration, where the arm restraint is positioned above the base, thereby preventing the load-carrier arm from pivoting.

A parking robot includes a lifting rail, a wheel clamp, and a lift motor. The wheel clamp is disposed on the lifting rail and is moveable from a first position to a second position along the lifting rail. The lift motor is operatively connected to the lifting rail and moves the wheel clamp from the first position to the second position.

Disclosed is a lifting device, lifting system and method for lifting a vehicle. The lifting device includes a frame with a moveable carrier that is configured for carrying the vehicle; a drive which acts on the carrier and is configured for raising and/or lowering the carrier relative to the frame; a height sensing system that is configured for directly and/or indirectly measuring the height of the carrier; and a locking mechanism for mechanically locking the carrier at a desired height, including a moveable locking element capable of locking and unlocking the carrier. The locking mechanism includes a lock sensor for measuring the position of the locking element.

A mobile lifting device, which preferably has a mobile frame with a plurality of castors. The lifting device has a closed fluid circuit, in particular a hydraulic circuit. It has a cylinder with an elevating work chamber. The elevating work chamber is fluidically connected to a fluid reservoir via a first fluid conduit and a second fluid conduit. In the first fluid conduit, a main pump is arranged which can be driven by means of a rotatably drivable hand tool to supply fluid from the fluid reservoir into the elevating work chamber, thereby extending a piston rod of the fluid cylinder, for example, to lift a load. In the second fluid conduit, a flow control arrangement is arranged which can be switched between a blocking state and a release state by means of a lowering operating element. When the piston rod is extended, the flow control arrangement is in the blocking state. To retract the piston rod, it is switched to the release state, allowing fluid to flow out of the elevating work chamber through the second fluid conduit.

The linear actuator comprises upper and lower frame portions vertically movable relative to one another along a central axis, and first and second bands that intertwine to form an extractable and retractable column. The second band forms the wall of the vertical column, and it is the second band that is supported by a rotor that is rotatably carried by the lower frame portion, to reduce the mechanical stress on the first band.
