  • Patent number: 10076931
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting device for lifting loads, vehicles, or the like, comprising a mobile base frame (12); a lifting column (14) provided on the base frame (12); a support (15), said lifting column (14) and support (15) being guided by a guide (45); a load receiving means (20) which is arranged on the support (15) and by means of which a load receiving region (21) is determined, said base frame (12) having at least three support points outside of the load receiving region (21) of the load receiving means (20); and a drive unit which can be controlled by a controller and which moves the support (14) up and down relative to the lifting column (14). The lifting column (14) is arranged on the base frame (12) eccentrically to the load receiving region (21) and in a rotated manner relative to a longitudinal side of the load receiving region (20).
