Claims20
A lifting system comprising:
- a vertical pole configured to extend perpendicularly away from a ground surface;
- support projections being positioned at intervals along the vertical pole, the support projections including a first set of support projections and a second set of support projections, wherein the first set of support projections are positioned below the second set of support projections;
- a carriage including pinions,
- the pinions being fulcrums, and the pinions be configured to be positioned over and adjacent to the support projections, wherein the pinions include a first pinion and a second pinion, and
- a tilting system including the vertical pole coupled to the carriage, the tilting system being configured to tilt the carriage in a first direction and a second direction on axis created by the pinons, wherein responsive to the tilting system tilting the carriage in a first direction the first pinion is configured to move from the first set of support projections to the second set of support projections, and responsive to the tilting system tilting the carriage in a second direction the second pinion is configured to move from the first set of support projections to the second set of support projections.

A method for lifting an object, the method comprising:
- coupling a vertical pole with a carriage, the vertical pole being configured to extend perpendicularly away from a ground surface;
- positioning support projections at intervals along the vertical pole, the support projections including a first set of support projections and a second set of support projections, wherein the first set of support projections are positioned below the second set of support projections;
- positioning pinions on the carriage over and adjacent to the first set of support projections, the pinons including a first pinion and a second pinion;
- tilting the carriage in a first direction on an axis defined by the first pinion, wherein responsive to tilting the carriage in the first direction the first pinion is configured to move from the first set of support projections to the second set of support projections;
- and
- tilting the carriage in a second direction on an axis defined by the second pinion, wherein responsive to tilting the carriage in the second direction the second pinion is configured to move from the first set of support projections to the second set of support projections.
