    摘要: The present disclosure provides a design for a retractable lifter that fits inside an existing vehicles' interior space for on-the-spot, small engine machine repairs (such as lawn mowers and snow blowers etc.). The retractable lifter comprises: a lifter platform that rotates along a pivot segment. The lifter platform has an adjustable wheel connector for vehicle track width adjustment and a plurality of pivotable trays for securing a machine's wheels. An arm assembly simultaneously expands and retracts and raises and lowers machines on the lifter platform using a remote-controlled, hydraulic system with two hydraulic cylinders. A support column moves the lifter platform outward, and the arm assembly extends downward to load a machine onto the platform. The lifter platform raises a machine to a desired height for repairs. An object of the lifter platform is to provide: improved convenience; speedy on-spot repairs; preserve space inside a vehicle; and increase adaptability to various different machines in less-than-ideal environments.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, and a stability system. The stability system includes a pair of front downriggers coupled to the chassis forward of the front axle and an outrigger assembly coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the rear axle. The outrigger assembly includes a pair of outriggers that are selectively extendable laterally outward at an angle relative to a horizontal.

    摘要: An automated vehicle jack includes an upper plate and a lower plate with a lifting mechanism disposed therebetween. The upper plate is fixedly attached to a lower side of the vehicle chassis, near each of the front and rear tires. The lifting mechanism is a scissor jack formed of a pair of upper arms pivotally connected to the upper plate and a pair of lower arms pivotally coupled with the lower plate. A motorized drive screw operates the lifting mechanism upon receipt of a predetermined command from a control panel in the vehicle passenger compartment or a portable electronic device.

    摘要: A mounting mechanism (100), to enable hitching a tool (101) with the frame of a utility vehicle, comprises front hooks (102), a locking mechanism (104), a lifting cradle assembly (106), and a frame attachment mechanism (108). The front hooks (102) and the locking mechanism is configured to detachably engage the front and the rear portion of the tool (101) respectively. The cradle assembly (106) is configured to be operatively engaged with the front hooks (102) and the locking mechanism (104). The frame attachment mechanism (108) is configured to be pivotally coupled to the lifting cradle assembly (106). The locking mechanism (104) is configured to be operated by lifting the cradle assembly (106) via pivotal motion between the cradle and the frame attachment mechanism (108) under force generated by the vehicle (1000) to hitch and lock the tool (101) with the frame of the vehicle (1000).

    摘要: Systems and methods for manipulating the pitch and/or tilt of a trailer relative to a supporting surface. A trailer leveling system includes one or more telescopically adjustable support assemblies that are constructed to be pivotably connected to a frame of a trailer. Each support assembly includes a post that is pivotably connected to a trailer frame. A rack is formed along at least one side of the post. A tube slideably cooperates with the post and supports a pawl that cooperates with the rack to allow translation of the tube relative to the post in a first direction and selectively prevent translation of the tube relative to the post in the opposing direction.
