A device for lifting and stabilizing loads which can be stabilized via two crossing, pivotably articulated telescopic struts that are interconnected in a synchronized manner so as to counter undesirable length variations as a result of forces acting in the cross-beam longitudinal direction, wherein connection of the telescopic struts is established via five traction parts, wherein one first traction part in the internal tube of each telescopic strut is mounted at both ends via a respective inner disk and outer disk, where a second traction part is mounted on two rotatable disks horizontally between the telescopic struts, where disks of the respective first and second traction parts each situated on one side are kinetically interconnected to transmit rotational movements between both disks, and where one further traction part is fastened in external tube, the further form-fitting traction part being kinetically connected to the inner disk of the first traction part.

A method and apparatus for transporting heavy machinery, equipment or other heavy loads from one location to another, whereby the apparatus may be constructed as a walking machine including a plurality of lifting assemblies operative to lift the load above the supporting surface and then move the load relative to the supporting surface by transporting the load via rollers or tracks in the walking machines. In one example, the lifting assemblies are provided with separate longitudinal and lateral drive mechanisms independently operative for translating the load in either or both longitudinal and lateral directions.

The invention is a rack and chain lifting device. The purpose is to convert rotational motion to linear motion in a way that is superior to a rack and pinion device because, first, it allows for more points of contact with the rack through the use of a silent chain in place of a pinion, and, second, because it can be used in corners since the motor can be distanced from the rack by means of the silent chain. The invention comprises a silent chain with link plates that are shaped such that the teeth of the link plates are offset when the chain is straightened, allowing the profile of the silent chain to correspond with the profiles of both gears and racks. The invention also comprises a rack that can be placed in corners. Some embodiments include a system of gears, a motor, and a mounting platform.
