摘要:
A liftgate can be selected for a particular cargo and particular vehicle using the following steps: (a) providing categories of liftgates based on liftgate cycle ranges; (b) determining liftgate cycle requirements; (c) comparing the liftgate cycle requirements to the liftgate cycle ranges; (d) choosing the applicable category of liftgates; (e) determining cargo information; (f) determining vehicle information; and, (g) selecting at least one liftgate within the applicable category of liftgates corresponding to the cargo and vehicle information.
摘要:
A flip door or plate member for use with a trailer having pivotable doors is disclosed. The plate member is pivotable about a bed extension. The plate member pivots from an initial position where the doors may be closed and locked to a second position that where the doors may be opened. After the doors are opened, the plate member may be pivoted back to its initial position allowing a continuous bed extension.
摘要:
A trailer hitch assembly adapted for use with a foldable liftgate assembly on a truck. The trailer hitch assembly is able to be pivoted out of the way of the liftgate assembly as the liftgate is deployed from a stowed position beneath the truck chassis. The liftgate assembly may include a foldable platform including a main platform member and a platform extension.

A wheelchair lift with hydraulic power unit and automated folding platform for installation on the floor, inside the opening defining walls of a vehicle to provide for loading and unloading of wheelchair occupants to and from the vehicle. Completely automated, retractable, collapsable folding platform. Hydraulic power unit (10) of the lift and the hydraulic cylinder (28) are totally enclosed, and contained in the power box. The power unit provides power for upward motion of the platform. The platform is pivotally retracted and held in a vertical position in half of the opening space of the vehicle door. The folding motion is accomplished by a folding arm driven against a cam roller which starts the motion of the ball joint linkages inside the platform tubing structure. The automatic folding action of the platform segments is also accomplished by other actuating devices such as hydraulic cylinder or a linear actuator (118) attached to a folding mechanism (114) and (116) for a complete 180 degree rotation and overlay of one segment of the platform over another.
摘要:
An improved safety barrier/ramp actuation mechanism for combination folding stair and platform wheelchair lifts which translate from one configuration to the other depending upon the purpose to be served and have a combination safety barrier/ramp at the outboard end of the platform, the mechanism comprising a triple link mechanism and internally contained piston and bellcrank for reciprocating said barrier/ramp, and a pressure relief for said system to prevent raising said barrier/ramp when a load is resting thereon in ramp position, and the invention includes new steps in the method of operation of the stair and lift combination to enhance the safety thereof.
摘要:
An adjustable transport device is provided which includes a multiple chain drive system for transporting unit loads of material between a number of vertically and laterally displaced locations. In one embodiment, the device is provided as a truck attachment, and is a second embodiment, the vertical lift is permanently installed in a truck dock.
