Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the three-part lifting legs are equipped with removable wheels, which can be installed for transportation into a suitable mounting that enables a rigid mounting in the lifting leg, so that the wheels may be locked and unlocked for removal.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the said platform has a small lifting mechanism comprising two handles, which are mounted via a common bolt one of the lifting legs serving as their pivot, wherein an adjacent bolt on the lifting handle is intended for mounting at least one hydraulic cylinder of the lifting leg, which upon its movement causes rotation of both handles around the pivot;

• and in that the second part of at least one hydraulic cylinder may be attached directly to the small lifting mechanism.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the base construction comprises an outer triangular frame, which is divided along the middle with a middle part, preferably welded from two rods that stretch to approximate middle of the height of the triangle;

• along the middle part two smaller right-angled triangles are provided on each side, said triangles also forming a part of the inner triangular frame, in which electronics, preferably comprising a gyroscope, are installed for following the level of the platform and consequently controlling of lifting and determining the state of the platform;
• onto the hypotenuse of each of the right-angled triangles one lifting leg is mounted, preferably with a hinge, so that it can be rotated into a folded position for transport, when the lifting legs are in their lowermost position;
• the outer triangular frame is due to its foldable nature movable in corners, wherein two sides are rotated so that they become parallel with the two folded lifting legs.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that on the base frame a plate, sled for vehicles or steel upper platform is installed, wherein the latter may be rotatable around its vertical axis in any known suitable way.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the said platform is equipped with a possibility to incline, which is enabled with additional two-sidedly operating hydraulic cylinders on one of the lifting legs, wherein the additional hydraulic cylinders are parallel with regards to at least one hydraulic cylinder and are located at the sides of the said primary cylinder, and wherein the additional hydraulic cylinders are controlled with a suitable valve, preferably with a 1/0 valve, which is also controlled with electronics;

• and wherein the additional hydraulic cylinders directly push a connecting rod shaft positioned horizontally and mounted into the lifting leg rotating around the hinge, due to this mounting the connecting rod shaft is moved so that the platform is inclined on one side.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the said platform is additionally equipped with a hydraulic valve functioning as a lock, which prevents any lowering without command, said hydraulic valve being installed directly to the pressure part of the hydraulic cylinder onto each lifting leg, which is indirectly loaded with gravity force, and in that the said platform may be equipped with a safety system connected to electronics, which is arranged to trigger automatic lowering of the platform upon sensed discrepancies and the system is further arranged to trigger an alarm for notifying a user of a manager or the platform.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the suitable drive system, such as an electric motor with a pump and reservoir, is installed outside the frame and connected with hydraulic tubes, or the suitable drive system is installed inside the frame.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the electronics or the optional gyroscope is arranged to measure inclination of the platform and to send data to a computer;

• the computer is arranged to process the data and to send the information to a circuit for controlling suitable valves, preferably proportional hydraulic valves;
• and that the whole platform is arranged to be adjusted to the terrain and afterwards to lift to a required height, wherein lifting is always performed in parallel.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the platform is made of any suitable material, preferably steel.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the said platform is additionally equipped with a canvas or similar material, which is mounted into the bottom part of the lifting legs and to the base frame of the platform, so that upon lifting of the platform the canvas is raised and covers the interior of the whole platform.

Transportable foldable lifting platform for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the platform may be used in closed or open spaces, wherein the platform may be installed in vehicle showrooms, shops, skiing areas, sporting events and similar.
