Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to a lift. In one example of the technology, a lift comprises a chassis, a mounting base, a platform, a motor, a plurality of guardrails, and a counterweight. The mounting base is arranged to swivel relative to the chassis. The platform is coupled to the mounting base. The platform is arranged to slide horizontally relative to the mounting base. The motor is arranged to raise and lower the mounting base relative to the chassis. The plurality of guardrails is coupled to the platform. The counterweight is coupled to the chassis such that the counterweight prevents the lift from tipping over while the platform is extended relative to the mounting base.

Abstract: The description relates to battery safety and more specifically to containing battery fires. One example can include displacement sub-systems configured to physically separate an affected battery pack from other battery packs. Another example can include a 3D deployable fire curtain configured to automatically deploy around a battery pack to limit the spread of fire between battery packs. A further example can include a media reservoir positioned over a battery pack that is configured to hold non-combustible smothering media. A media retainer can be interposed between the battery pack and the media reservoir and configured to automatically release the non-combustible smothering media into the battery pack support structure when the battery pack experiences a fire.
