Lifting device for e.g. optronic sensor, has telescopic mast with upper unit in which sensor head is mounted such that, in folded position of mast, head slides into storage position in which head upper end does not exceed upper end of unit

摘要

The device has a telescopic mast (11) driven by a driving mechanism and having lower, intermediate and upper units (110, 111, 112) sliding one with respect to the other. The upper unit supports a sensor head (3). The head is mounted slidingly with respect to the upper unit such that, in a folded position of the mast, the head slides into a storage position in which an upper end of the head does not exceed an upper end of the upper unit. An independent claim is also included for a monitoring vehicle with a sensor head mounted on a lifting device.
