Abstract
A motor lifting device may include a base member, a vertical guide column coupled and extending upward from the base member in a vertical direction, a carriage coupled to the vertical guide column. The carriage may including a carriage base engaged with and movable along the vertical guide column, and a carriage plate defining one or more slots configured to receive a motor shaft. The motor lifting device may further include one or more transverse actuators structurally configured to move the carriage plate in a direction transverse to the vertical direction with respect to the vertical guide column.

A motor lifting device comprising:
- a base member;
- a vertical guide column coupled and extending upward from the base member in a vertical direction;
- a carriage coupled to the vertical guide column, the carriage comprising a carriage base engaged with and movable along the vertical guide column, and a carriage plate defining one or more slots configured to receive a motor shaft;
- and
- one or more transverse actuators structurally configured to move the carriage plate in a direction transverse to the vertical direction with respect to the vertical guide column.
A motor lifting device comprising:
- a base member;
- a vertical guide column coupled to the base member;
- a carriage engaged with the vertical guide column, the carriage defining one or more slots configured to receive a motor shaft;
- and
- one or more vertical support members spaced apart from the vertical guide column and extending between the carriage and the base member, wherein the one or more vertical support members are positionable between an unlocked position, in which vertical movement of the carriage with respect to the base member is permitted, and a locked position, in which the one or more vertical support members restrict vertical movement of the carriage with respect to the base member.
