Patent number: 10315889Abstract: A lifting device for a motor vehicle subassembly has a load-bearing unit with at least one support arm that can be pivoted around a longitudinal axis of the load-bearing unit and a coupling unit that is arranged on the support arm for releasably connecting the support arm to the motor vehicle subassembly. The coupling unit is mounted on the support arm such that it is longitudinally displaceable, and the load-bearing unit is configured to connect with a crane unit, such as a crane hook adapter. The lifting device is especially compact in construction in that it offers the possibility of being combined with lifting units for the disassembly of motor vehicle subassemblies from the ground. The load-bearing unit is releasably connected with a connecting body of a support unit. The connecting body is tiltable on the support unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: TKR Spezialwerkzeuge GmbHInventors: Torsten Kreischer, Thorsten Weyland
