Abstract
A modular lifting system, including an enclosable lifting device support structure. The enclosable lifting device support structure includes a deployable top, a plurality of lateral sides, a base coupled to the plurality of lateral sides, and a plurality of extension arms. The deployable top is configured to support a lifting device on a first side of the deployable top. The plurality of extension arms are configured to extend and support the deployable top when the deployable top is deployed.
Claims23
A modular lifting system, comprising:
- an enclosable lifting device support structure;
- comprising:
- a deployable top configured to support a lifting device on a first side of the deployable top;
- a plurality of lateral sides;
- a base coupled to the plurality of lateral sides;
- and
- a plurality of extension arms configured to extend and support the deployable top when the deployable top is deployed.
A method, comprising:
- positioning a self-contained, modular lifting system, comprising a lifting device, adjacent to a workspace;
- deploying a deployable top of the self-contained, modular lifting system, wherein the lifting device is supported by the deployable top;
- positioning the lifting device over the workspace;
- and
- lifting an object with the lifting device.
A self-contained lifting system, comprising:
- a lifting device support structure, comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of lateral sides extending from the base;
- a deployable top disposed above the plurality of lateral sides;
- and
- a plurality of extension arms configured to raise and lower the deployable top, wherein the base, the plurality of lateral sides, and the deployable top define a self-contained volume;
- and
- a lifting device disposed within the self-contained volume and supported by the deployable top.
A system, comprising:
- a contained lifting device support structure;
- comprising:
- a plurality of lateral sides;
- and
- a base coupled to the plurality of lateral sides;
- and
- a lifting device disposed within an interior volume of the contained lifting device support structure, wherein the lifting device is configured to enable overhead lifting of objects adjacent to the system.
