  • SCISSOR LIFT WITH MIDDLE PIN OFFSET AND KICKER
    Publication number: 20240124285
    Abstract: A lift device includes a base, a platform, and a scissor assembly coupling the base to the platform. The scissor assembly includes a first scissor layer, a second scissor layer, and a third scissor layer each including an inner arm pivotally coupled to an outer arm. The first scissor layer has a first middle axis offset vertically from a first end axis center point. A kicker assembly couples an actuator configured to raise and lower the platform to the second scissor layer and the third scissor layer. The kicker assembly includes a kicker with opposing first and second kicker ends. The kicker is pivotally coupled to the second scissor layer and releasably coupled to the third scissor layer. The actuator rotates the kicker relative to the second scissor layer. A guide is coupled to the kicker and configured to limit the rotation of the kicker.
