摘要

The lifting platform for vehicle or loading bay has a steel load carrying surface (1) with two side pivot points (13, 14). The frontal pivot point carries a long bent arm (3) pivoting about a rigid frame fixed to the side of the lorry or loading bay. The rearward pivot point also carries an arm (2) which is also pivoted to the rigid frame. The platform describes an arc as it is raised and lowered by a horizontally mounted hydraulic ram (9) acting on the long arm through intermediate linkages (26, 8).
