Abstract: The present invention relates to a lifting system and method for lifting a vehicle. The lifting system has one or more lifting devices and includes a frame with a carrier configured for carrying the vehicle; a drive for driving the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier; and a controller with an indoor positioning system. The controller determines the location and the height of the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier of the one or more lifting devices. The controller has a remote control, and the controller further has a monitoring system configured for monitoring a safety zone. The monitoring system monitors a three-dimensional zone and the safety zone has an inner zone, an intermediate zone and an outer zone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lifting system and method for lifting a vehicle, wherein the lifting system including one or more lifting devices and: a frame with a carrier configured for carrying the vehicle; a drive for driving the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier; and a controller including an indoor positioning system with a transponder, wherein the transponder is provided on or at the carrier such that the controller determines the location and the height of the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier.

Abstract: A lifting system and method of use thereof for lifting a vehicle. The lifting system includes one or more lifting devices. Each lifting device includes a frame with a carrier configured for carrying the vehicle, a drive for driving the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier, a transmitter/receiver for wireless communication with a central controller that is configured for centrally controlling the one or more lifting devices, and a sensor for measuring at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier. The central controller includes a transmitter/receiver for communication with the individual lifting devices and a processor for determining required control actions for individual lifting devices. The central controller and/or at least one of the lifting devices includes a user input. The central controller controls two or more independent groups of selected lifting devices.

Abstract: There is proposed a lifting system for lifting a vehicle, which system includes a frame with a carrier configured for carrying the vehicle; a drive for driving the carrier in at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier; and a power line connection for providing power to the lifting device. The lifting system further includes a control system configured for establishing communication with one or more of the lifting devices. The communication includes power line communication. There is also proposed a method of using said lifting system.

Abstract: A lifting system and method of use thereof for lifting a vehicle. The lifting system includes one or more lifting devices. Each lifting device includes a frame with a carrier configured for carrying the vehicle, a drive for driving the carrier in at least one of the ascent or decent of the carrier, a transmitter/receiver for wireless communication with a central controller that is configured for centrally controlling the one or more lifting devices, and a sensor for measuring at least one of the ascent or descent of the carrier. The central controller includes a transmitter/receiver for communication with individual lifting devices and a processor for determining required control actions for individual lifting devices. The central controller and/or at least one of the lifting devices includes a user input. The central controller controls two or more independent groups of selected lifting devices.
