Abstract
A mobile lift comprises an undercarriage structure having a tow bar (1), a towing extension (9) and road wheels (7) supporting a main swivel bearing (6) for a lift boom (5) with a basket or platform (4). The lift has a first supporting beam (1) formed integrally with the tow bar, a second supporting beam (2) extending therefrom on the other side of the main swivel bearing (6) and two further supporting beams (3). All supporting beams are arranged in such a manner that the longitudinal axes thereof in supporting position meet in the main bearing (6). There is thus obtained a personnel lift where the undercarriage structure is very simple and consequently very cheap without reducing the strength, the reach or the carrying capacity of the lift.
