Abstract
An elevating platform assembly (50) comprises a pair of laterally spaced, generally vertical masts (52). A drive mechanism (100) is coupled to each mast (52) and is moveable upwardly and downwardly along the masts. An elongated elevating platform (58) extends between the masts. A connection frame (150) couples each end of the elevating platform to a respective one of the drive mechanisms (100). Each connection frame (150) is pivotally coupled to the drive mechanism (100).
Claims24
An elevating platform assembly comprising:
- a generally vertical mast;
- a drive mechanism coupled to said mast and being moveable upwardly and downwardly along said mast;
- an elongated elevating platform extending from said mast;
- and
- a connection frame coupling said elevating platform to said drive mechanism, said connection frame being fixedly secured to said drive mechanism to maintain said elevating platform in a generally horizontal orientation in a single mast configuration and being pivotally coupled to said drive mechanism in a dual mast configuration, wherein the connection frame comprises at least one support pin, said at least one support pin resting on a generally concave support surface of said drive mechanism and being moveable along said support surface.
