Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a configuration of a plurality of lifting devices (12, 13) in a lifting system (11), wherein a lifting device (12, 13) is defined as a master lifting device with the node address 1, wherein subsequently a node address n+1 is generated and stored for the subsequent lifting device (12b, 13b) so that the number and assignment of the lifting devices (12, 13) will be detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring a lifting system (11) for lifting loads, particularly vehicles, in which for lifting a load (14), the lifting movement is initiated by a starting phase, and lifting devices (12) are individually driven in the starting phase. Load holding means (18) of the lifting devices (12) are raised until a pre-set minimum load is detected by the pressure sensor (24), and the load holding means (18) are raised by a pre-selectable displacement distance in a load recognition phase of the lifting process following the starting phase, and after the pre-selected displacement distance is passed through, a load inquiry is carried out and the determined load is stored as a reference value for the further lifting process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a load suspension means for a lifting apparatus (11), which can be fitted on a lifting column (16) of the lifting apparatus (11) and has a transverse support (24) and at least one load suspension element (26) which is arranged thereon and is provided in a manner such that it can be displaced along the transverse support (24) for adjustment to a load suspension point on an object to be raised, wherein, for adjustment to the load suspension point, the at least one load suspension element (26) can be transferred by a pivoting movement, which is delimited by a lift-off safeguard (56), from and into a secured load suspension position without a tool.

Abstract: A lifting device for vehicles, machines, erecting units or the like has at least one lifting element, which has at least one first mounting point and opposite this at least one second mounting point which is arranged on a load receiving section. The lifting unit and the at least one load receiving section form a first modular unit. The first modular unit has, at least one end of the load receiving section, a connecting section for receiving at least one further modular unit with at least one connecting section arranged thereon.

Abstract: A lifting platform. particularly a mobile lifting platform, for lifting loads, vehicles, or the like, has a base frame, a lifting unit, which moves a load receiving means (receiver) up and down, and with at least one supply line, which is provided between at least two lifting platforms, wherein at least one device can be installed receiving the at least one supply line and positioning the at least one supply line, which runs between two lifting platforms, outside the working region of the lifting platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting apparatus of flat construction for vehicles comprising a first bearing with a rotation axis, a strut arranged to be pivotable around the rotation axis, a carrier arm that has a second bearing in common with the strut; the strut dividing the carrier ann into a first and a second carrier arm section, the second carrier arm section forming a triangle with the strut and the base frame, a guide that has a fourth bearing arranged on the guide for receiving the second carrier arm section, which guide can move back and forth on the base frame, a load receiver arranged on a fifth bearing at a free end of the first carrier arm section, at least one lifting unit that acts on the carrier arm, and a parallelogram guide with which the load receiver is aligned horizontally, in which a resultant force acting on the load receiver runs along a straight line extending between the first and fifth bearings or is situated outside a movement space of the scissors arrangement circumscribed by the f

Abstract: A hydraulic hoist platform for passenger vehicles has floor group halves spaced from one another and a parallelogram device for each floor group half, movable up and down parallel to one another in a vertical plane and each comprising a carrier arm and a guide rod having a first end region articulated to its respective floor group half with bearing bodies highly loadable at least by torsion. The parallelogram devices have a second end region having a support device for the passenger vehicle. A lever device is secured rigidly to the outer region of each of the bearing bodies, and is angularly offset from the carrier arm in the direction of lifting. A hydraulic unit is arranged substantially horizontally in each of the floor groups, and is connected between the lever device and the floor groups.
