A vehicle lift comprising a column, a carriage slidably movable along the column, a movement system associated with the at least one column and configured to displace the carriage along the column. The movement system comprises an electric motor configured to drive in rotation a rotary member having a plurality of blades configured to generate an airflow during the rotation of the rotary member.

A lift carrier includes: a bogie frame that is inserted under a transport target vehicle; an elevating mechanism that raises and lowers the bogie frame with each of a plurality of tires supported with arms to raise and lower a vehicle; a bogie body that is able to move the bogie frame to any location. The bogie frame includes a main frame and a rear end frame joined to the main frame. The rear end frame is formed in a rectangular shape by a pair of side members, a first cross member, and a second cross member. The rear end frame includes a first reinforcing member projecting from the first cross member toward a front end side and a second reinforcing member projecting from the first cross member toward a rear end side. The first reinforcing member is joined to a part of the main frame.

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.

The present invention is a vehicle lift. In particular, the present invention is directed to a vehicle lift that has an adjustable vehicle receiver mount that is vertically adjustable and horizontally adjustable. The vehicle receiver mount has two lifting arms and two support arms pivotally attached. The lifting arms are each pivotally attached to a platform shoe and the support arms are attached to vertical rotation cups. The extruded aluminum vehicle platform is pivotally mounted on four pivot arms. The pivot arms are pivotally attached to the platform. The lift is attached to the vehicle receiver mount and is also attached to a crossbar mounted between the two lifting arms. The drive is preferably a single unit hydraulic drive. The vehicle receiver mount also has a towing receiver. The vehicle platform preferably has two channels with tethering and anchoring hardware, a vehicle stop and entrance ramp mounted on the channels.

Wireless portable vehicle lift system incorporating one or more enhanced communication and/or control features. The lift system can incorporate enhanced touch screen-enabled functionalities and/or enhanced wireless communication features.

Systems and apparatuses include a platform charger for use with a lift, such as an aerial work platform (AWP) or mobile elevating work platform (MEWP). The platform charger includes an elevated platform, a ramp extending away from a first end of the platform, a battery, and an induction coil. The induction coil is received within the platform and positioned near an upper surface of the platform. The induction coil is configured to receive electricity from an energy source and generate a magnetic field that extends substantially upwardly, through the platform to objects positioned on the platform. The induction coil is also configured to act as an antenna, such that if the induction coil is positioned within an magnetic field, a current will be induced in the induction coil that can be used to recharge a battery associated with the platform charger.
