Abstract: A thrust lifting device that is able to transmit a thrust force for lifting loads, includes at least one articulated lift column provided with at least one meshing part, and with at least one arm directed upward from the meshing part, the lift column made up of links with a link of rank 1 at the upper end of the upwardly directed arm and running links of rank n, where n is between 2 and N, the number of links of the lift column, —at least one rotary pinion driving the lift column by the meshing part meshing with the pinion, —at least one arm opposite the upwardly directed arm and formed by resting links, the resting links being able to pass to the meshing part and to the upwardly directed arm by rotation of the pinion, and —at least one stabilizer that is movable along the upwardly directed arm.

Abstract: Link for a rigid chain, comprising at least one flange, of rectangular overall shape, with a substantially constant thickness perpendicularly to its main plane. The flange comprises a first part and a second part. Each of the parts comprises a heel designed to bear against a corresponding heel of a similar flange of an adjacent link of the rigid chain, and a base designed to form a bearing about a rotary pin with respect to said adjacent link. The heel and the base each extend on either side of the main plane and parallel to said main plane.

Abstract: A thrust chain device that induces an open thrust chain with a thrust portion and a housing portion, a thrust chain guide on a thrust portion of the thrust chain, a driving sprocket provided with teeth interlocking with the thrust chain, and a storage space of the housing portion, is provided.
