  • Lift systems and methods for supporting cargo on a vehicle
    Patent number: 11358508
    Abstract: A lift system for supporting cargo on a vehicle comprising a vehicle frame, the lift system comprises a cargo platform assembly and a displacement system. Operation of a drive system causes axial rotation of at least one drive axle. Axial rotation of at least one drive axle causes at least one drive link assembly to pivot about a drive axle axis. Pivoting of the at least one drive link assembly about the drive axle axis displaces the cargo platform between a stowed configuration and a lowered configuration. First and second distal axes are forward of the drive axle axis when the lift system is in the stowed configuration and rearward of the drive axle axis when the lift system is in the lowered configuration.

  • Lift systems and methods for supporting cargo on a vehicle
    Patent number: 10272816
    Abstract: A lift system for supporting cargo on a vehicle comprising a vehicle frame, the lift system comprising a cargo platform assembly and a displacement system. The displacement system comprises a lift frame assembly, a drive system, at least one drive link assembly, and at least one stabilizer link assembly. Operation of the drive system causes axial rotation of the at least one drive axle. Axial rotation of the at least one drive axle causes the at least one drive link assembly to pivot about the drive axle axis. Pivoting of the at least one drive link assembly the drive axle axis displaces the cargo platform between a stowed configuration and a lowered configuration. Displacement of the cargo platform between the stowed configuration and the lowered configuration causes rotation of the at least one stabilizer link assembly.
