Abstract: A pneumatically or hydraulically activated lifting device has a main carrier with a first cavity having a first lifting element arranged inside the first cavity. The main carrier also has a second cavity arranged in fixed movement with respect to the first cavity. A second lifting element is arranged inside this second cavity and is movable in the two mutually opposed directions of movement with respect to this cavity.

Abstract: An apparatus for lifting motor vehicles includes a first lifting device which is movable in a vertical direction and which is suitable for supporting a first region of the motor vehicle to be lifted, and a second lifting device which is arranged at a distance from the first lifting device and which is suitable for supporting a second region of the motor vehicle to be lifted. A first supply line supplies an hydraulic medium to the first lifting device, and with a second supply line supplies an hydraulic medium to the second lifting device.

Abstract: An apparatus for lifting motor vehicles, with a carrying element for carrying the motor vehicle to be lifted, wherein this carrying element has at least one sensor device for detecting a weight force of the vehicle to be lifted, wherein the carrying element has at least two carrying arms which are arranged in a central region of the carrying element and which starting from the central region extend in at least two different directions. At least one sensor element for detecting a partial weight force is provided in each case on these carrying arms, wherein a force determining device for determining the weight force takes into consideration the partial weight forces determined by the at least three sensor elements.

Abstract: A device for lifting vehicles and other objects may include a first tubular body and a second tubular body. The second tubular body is mobile in relation to the first tubular body in a longitudinal direction of the first tubular body. A first receiving chamber for a first fluid medium is provided in the interior of the first tubular body. A second receiving chamber is provided for the first fluid medium and a line connection provides fluid communication between the first receiving chamber and the second receiving chamber. The line connection extends through at least a portion of the first receiving chamber. According to various aspects, the device includes a supply line configured to supply a second fluid medium, different from the first fluid medium, to the first receiving chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rest element (2, 20) for lifting platforms, which can be arranged between a support element (30) of the lifting platform and a vehicle to be lifted. According to the invention, the rest element (2, 20) can be removed from the support element (30) and has a sensor device (4) for measuring a weight force acting between the vehicle and the support element (30). In addition, a transmitting device (14) is provided which outputs a signal characteristic of this weight force.
