ABSTRACT:
A hydraulically powered lift system for raising and lowering lift platforms of relatively large area employs two sets of hydraulic cylinders hydraulically connected in parallel in a closed loop system to a main system pump via a directional control valve. The piston rods of both sets of cylinders are mechanically connected to the lift platform, but the mechanical interconnections between the rods of one set of cylinders and the lift platform differ from those employed between the rods of the other set of cylinders and the lift platform. The differing types of mechanical interconnections establish a mechanical advantage of one set of cylinders which is substantially constant throughout a working stroke while the mechanical advantage of the other set of cylinders is variable over the stroke, the parallel hydraulic connections of the cylinders distributing the fluid supplied by the pump to maintain a common equal pressure at all cylinders. Various linkage arrangements for uniformly distributing the applied forces over the entire area of the platform and throughout the linkage system to equalize pivot wear are disclosed.
