Patent number: 10710489Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for correcting a mounting system for mounting a lift gate on a structure, the lift gate having a lift platform supported between a pair of spaced support columns, the correction system including: a first mounting member configured for attachment onto the structure; a first lift gate support column configured for attachment onto the first mounting member; a first correction mechanism configured to couple with a first support block, where the first correction mechanism creates a force between the first lift gate support column and the first mounting member when engaged, resulting in a first corrective gap forming between the first lift gate support column and the first mounting member; and where the resulting corrective gap orients the first lift gate support column to be substantially parallel with a plane parallel to a rear of the structure such that the lift gate platform can be operated.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: MAXON INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Levon Hambardzumyan, Karapet Ablabutyan, Paul Bark, Sheralin Lafferty

Patent number: 10625653Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a lift gate on a structure is provided, the lift gate having a lift platform supported between a pair of spaced support columns. The mounting system comprises a first mounting member configured for attachment onto said structure, wherein the first mounting member includes a support protrusion for engaging an opening in a wall of a corresponding lift gate support column. The mounting system further comprises a second mounting member configured for attachment onto said structure, wherein the second mounting member includes a support protrusion for engaging an opening in a wall of a corresponding lift gate support column. When the mounting members are attached to the structure and the corresponding lift gate support columns are mounted on the support protrusions, the mounting members support the lift gate on the structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: MAXON INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Levon Hambardzumyan, Karapet Ablabutyan, Paul Bark, Sheralin Lafferty

Publication number: 20100241320Abstract: A controller for a lift, includes a communication module configured to transmit data (via wireless or wired connection) relating to the personnel operating and operating conditions of a lift to a remotely located station. The remote station wirelessly sends satisfaction or non-satisfaction messages to the lift controller in response to received input data or sensed conditions relating to the operation of the lift. The lift controller includes circuitry for obtaining and/or storing the sensed conditions and received input data, where the communication module then transmits this information in report form to a remote station using a wired or wireless network either public or private depending on the desired application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2009Publication date: September 23, 2010Inventors: Casey Lugash, Paul Bark, Sheralin Lafferty, Maxine Lugash, Brent Stratton
