Abstract
Provided for is a vehicle lifting device, of the type adapted to allow the demounting and the re-mounting of the lower parts of the body and/or of the mechanical parts of the vehicle, said lifting device (2) being provided with liftable platforms (3); said lifting device is characterized in that the lifting and the lowering of said liftable platforms occurs by exploiting the same energy that moves the lifting device, hence moving the aforementioned lifting device allows also actuating the mechanism of opening and closure of each of the liftable platforms (3), which provides for the lifting/opening and lowering/closure of said platforms.
Claims7
A vehicle lift device of the type adapted to attain the demounting and the remounting of the lower parts of the vehicle body and/or of the mechanical parts of the vehicle as well as the diagnosis and/or straightening thereof, comprising a central lifting device (2), such as a single platform lifting device, a double platform lifting device, a scissor-like lifting device with straightening bench or of any other type, which is provided with liftable/openable and reclosable platforms (3), where each of said liftable/openable and reclosable platforms (3) is provided with a lifting mechanism comprising a rod (4) and where said platforms (3), arranged at the wheels of the positioned vehicle, when closed, are substantially coplanar with an upper deck (2.1) of the central lifting device (2), hence the complete lifting device (1) operates, both when it is completely closed, i.e. arranged at the level of the floor, and when it is lifted/open, like a normal lifting device and in these situations the lower part of the vehicle is spaced by a value (H) from the upper deck (2.1) of the lifting device (2), while, on the contrary, with the opening of the liftable/openable and reclosable platforms (3), the vehicle is further lifted so as to increase the space (H1) between the upper deck (2.1) and the lower part of the vehicle, said lifting device being characterized in that the opening and the closure of the liftable platforms (3) occurs by exploiting the movement of the upper deck (2.1) hence, moving the aforementioned upper deck (2.1), allows actuating the opening and closure mechanism of each of the liftable/openable and reclosable platforms (3), through the rod (4), integrated in each of the aforementioned liftable/openable and reclosable platforms (3), which provides for the opening and closure of said liftable/openable and reclosable platforms.
