Abstract: A lifting jack arrangement for lifting platforms. The lifting jack has a liftable and lowerable, dimensionally stable guide tube on the upper end of which support elements, for example for a motor vehicle, can be mounted. A driving unit would typically be coupled with the guide tube for lifting and lowering it. A stationary guiding sleeve has sliding elements which are in contact with the guide tube. The guide tube is coated with a reduced-friction, abrasion resistant sliding layer consisting of a permanently adhering synthetic material containing PTFE.

Abstract: An operating device for a lifting platform, particularly for a vehicle lifting platform, includes a housing including a plurality of operating elements for operating the lifting platform. The housing is arranged in the floor in a sunken manner and includes a cover disposed on the floor level, in which the operating elements formed as foot switches are disposed.

Abstract: A scissors-type lifting platform, in particular for motor vehicles. The lifting platform has at least one horizontal bearer element for the load to be lifted and a scissors arrangement on the underside of the bearer element. The scissors arrangement has scissors spars which are swivellably connected with one another and are supported on a base plate. An expansion lever is rotatably hinged on one of the scissors spars and is actuatable by means of an actuating element for the purpose of swivelling the scissors spars. A supporting surface for supporting a support device is arranged on the other scissors spar. According to the invention, the technically simple and particularly wear-resistant expansion mechanism has at least one rotatably lodged rolling body for the support of the expansion lever.

Abstract: A lifting platform for double-tracked vehicles comprising two horizontal vehicle supports including support elements for the vehicle wheels. Also included are lifting elements for synchronously lifting and lowering the vehicle supports, a liftable and lowerable floor compensation formed of slip-proof plate members capable of providing support which cover the recess or space for the vehicle supports in the foundation or continuous footing when the vehicle supports are in their lifted position, and an axis elevator shiftable between the two vehicle supports in longitudinal rails. For completely covering not only the vehicle supports but also the axis elevator when the lifting platform is extended or retracted, the continuous footing is provided with a space for at least partially accommodating the lowered axis elevator, and the floor compensation is designed to also cover this space when the vehicle supports are in their lifted position.

Abstract: A lifting platform for motor vehicles. The platform has easily adjustable support elements mounted on the ends of a beam. The support elements are applied to the pre-designated lifting points on the vehicle for safe lifting thereof.
