Abstract
Disclosed systems include an enclosure comprising a base, a lift structure coupled to the base and comprising a first leg, a second leg, and a cross member, and one or more of, within the enclosure, an engine, a generator configured to convert mechanical power to electrical power, welding-type conversion circuitry configured to convert electrical power to welding-type power, an air compressor configured to output compressed air, a hydraulic pump configured to generate hydraulic flow, or auxiliary power conversion circuitry configured to convert electrical to at least one of AC output power or DC output power. The cross member, the first leg, and the second leg of the lift structure are a one piece structure.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an enclosure comprising a base;
- a lift structure coupled to the base and comprising a first leg, a second leg, and a cross member, wherein the cross member, the first leg, and the second leg are a one piece structure, wherein the first leg comprises a first bend and the second leg comprises a second bend, wherein the first bend connects the cross member and the first leg, and the second bend connects the cross member and the second leg, wherein the first leg comprises a first stepped portion and the second leg comprises a second stepped portion, wherein the first stepped portion and the second stepped portion are configured such that the base contacts a top surface of each of the first stepped portion and the second stepped portion;
- and
- one or more of, within the enclosure:
- an engine;
- a generator configured to convert mechanical power to electrical power;
- welding-type conversion circuitry configured to convert electrical power to welding-type power;
- an air compressor configured to output compressed air;
- a hydraulic pump configured to generate hydraulic flow;
- or
- auxiliary power conversion circuitry configured to convert electrical to at least one of AC output power or DC output power.
