Abstract: A device for lifting a load includes: a column with a carriage sliding along the column; a structure, which is associated with the carriage, for supporting the load to be lifted; and an actuator that moves the carriage causing the load supporting structure to rise and/or descend. The supporting structure of the load includes: a single supporting arm; a longitudinal arm, having first and second ends, which is associated with the supporting arm, at the other end of the supporting arm, so as to be rotatable with respect to the supporting arm, the longitudinal arm being telescopic at one or both ends; and arms provided at one or both ends of the longitudinal arm and which develop in a transverse, or angled, direction with respect to the longitudinal arm, the arms being provided and/or configured to be engaged by members to support and/or sustain the load to be lifted.

Abstract: A method for providing information related to an apparatus for lifting and/or handling a load, in particular motor vehicles and/or goods, which has a processing unit and a user interface with a display device, includes displaying on the display device at least one two-dimensional matrix barcode, which contains data related to at least one operative working cycle of the apparatus, the at least one two-dimensional matrix barcode being dynamically generated by software loaded and run on the processing unit by encoding the data related to the at least one operative working cycle of the apparatus.

Abstract: A motor vehicle lift includes two parallel runways, each provided with at least two elevating devices each having first and second uprights hinged to each other, to the floor (runway) and to the runway (floor) respectively; first and second arms hinged together, the second arm being further hinged to the second upright along a hinging axis equidistant from the axis on which the second upright is hinged to the runway (floor) and from the end of the second arm, which is slidable along a guide provided in the runway (floor), the first arm being also hinged to the first upright; and an actuator device securable selectively to two elements of the quadrilateral formed from the first/second uprights and the first/second arms, at least one of the parts of the quadrilateral being provided with elastic means to vary the dimension between the two hinged ends.

Abstract: Parallelogram lift for motor vehicles, comprising a pair of base longitudinal members (2), a pair of runways (12) and at least two pairs of arms (14, 14?) hinged to the longitudinal members (2) and to the runways (12) and associated with members (30) for varying the inclination of said arms (14, 143 to the longitudinal members (2) and to the runways (12), wherein each longitudinal member (2) comprises a fixed base (4, 6) anchored to the floor, and a counter-base (8) slidable axially relative to the fixed base and carrying the arms (14, 143) hinged thereto, and also comprises for each longitudinal member (2) an auxiliary arm (22) hinged at its lower end to a support (26) fixed to the floor in alignment with the longitudinal member and pivoted at its upper end to the central point (20) of the adjacent main arm (14), the length of the auxiliary arm (22) between its pivotal axes (24, 20) being equal to one half the length of the main arms (14, 14?).

Abstract: A lift device of platform type for miscellaneous loads, in particular for motor vehicles, comprising a pair of vertical uprights (2) to rest on the floor, a load carrying platform (4) slidable along said uprights (2), a drive system for said platform comprising actuators associated with the two uprights (2), and a torsion bar (6) applied to said platform to ensure that this latter is also horizontal when an unbalanced load is present, characterised in that at least one sprocket wheel (14) is applied to said torsion bar (6) and cooperates with a stop pawl (16) elastically engaging the teeth of said sprocket wheel (14) and disengageable from it during the descent phase of said platform (4).
