Abstract: A lifting device having separately displaced lifting column with a carriage controllably driven in a longitudinal direction. Connecting lines connect the control of the column. The connecting lines function as part of a digital data bus in order to exchange digital control signals with each lifting column having a separate operation device connected to the connecting lines to provide simultaneous actuation of the control of all lifting columns.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for shielding a shed entrance, particularly during loading and/or unloading of a vehicle parked thereagainst, comprising: a wall-mounted frame arranged on an outside wall round the shed entrance; a hanging frame which is held in a plane substantially parallel to that of the wall-mounted frame and at a distance therefrom with resilient separating means; and at lest one fabric element extending at least over the distance between the wall-mounted frame and the hanging frame. The wall-mounted frame and the hanging frame are each formed from at least one hollow profile and at least one open profile, wherein the hollow profile and the open profile form a unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bumper device which is to be mounted on a stationary object to absorb a shock in the case a vehicle collides against the object, comprising at least one body of resilient material; and, at least on the front part of the body, a closed and flat front element of material with a low coefficient of friction in the case of contact with material of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for protecting a shed entrance, particularly during loading and/or unloading of a vehicle parked thereagainst, comprising: a wall-mounted frame arranged on a wall outside the shed entrance; a hanging frame which is held in a plane substantially parallel to that of the wall-mounted frame and at a distance therefrom with resilient separating means; wherein the separating means comprise an elongate body of form-retaining material extending in upward direction between the wall-mounted frame and the hanging frame and a coupling of elastic material on both ends of the body, wherein each coupling is connected to one of respectively the wall-mounted frame and the hanging frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lift, comprising:a stand, comprising a substantially upright and hollow profile with an opening along at least one longitudinal side thereof and a safety device;a carriage arranged in said profile with a support extending through said opening in said longitudinal side and a row of protrusions co-acting with said safety device, said carriage having smaller dimensions than said opening;a drive connected to said carriage and said stand to respectively raise and lower said carriage through said stand; anda plurality of first guides connected to said lower part of said carriage, maintaining said carriage inside said stand, where said safety device is arranged near the top side of said carriage in a lowered position and at least one second guide is connected to said carriage in a lowered position near the top side thereof in stiffening contact with said profile.

Abstract: A transportable lift includes a base and an elevator connected to the base which is arranged to support and vertically lift a load relative to the base. Transport wheels are connected to the base and are vertically moveable relative to the base. A control mechanism is connected to a frame for the transport wheels to selectively disable transport when a load is on the elevator. The control mechanism includes a drive connected to the frame for the transport wheels which, in use, exerts a first transport enabling force on the frame. A counter drive is connected to the base and the drive which, in use, exerts a second force to compensate the first force and a weight of exclusively the lift.

Abstract: A device for blocking wheels of a vehicle, including elongate guide means, a wheel block carrier guided slidably in a lengthwise direction of the guide means and including a wheel block guided for movement transverse relative to the lengthwise direction, and control and drive means for moving the wheel block carrier relative to the guide means and for moving the wheel block relative to the wheel block carrier.
