Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a lifting system, for example for roadside emergency means or other.
- As is known, to lift heavy and elongated objects, there is a need to grasp such objects close to the axial ends in order to avoid undesired movements of the object during the lifting.
- However, it is not always possible to act in such manner, for example if a roadside emergency vehicle has to lift an overturned vehicle, since it is provided with a single crane and/or hoist, it may tow/lift the overturned vehicle by grasping it in one point alone.
- Moreover, in given situations, the space occupied by an emergency vehicle may be an impeachment for the positioning of a second emergency vehicle which would allow lifting the overturned vehicle in an optimal manner.
- Similar situations may occur also in other areas, for example at worksites when beams, large pipes and the like are to be lifted.
- It is an object of the present invention to make available a lifting system capable of overcoming the mentioned drawbacks of the known technique, within the scope of a simple, rational and affordable solution.
- Such objects are achieved by the features of the invention indicated in the independent claim. The dependent claims outline preferred and/or particularly advantageous aspects of the invention.

- Thereby, a relatively compact lifting system is made available provided with two cranes due to which a heavy and elongated object may be lifted by correctly grasping it by the ends.
- One aspect of the invention provides for the lifting system to comprise an orientating unit for the first crane, adapted to put the platform into rotation with respect to the first rotation axis, and a second orientating unit for the second crane, adapted to put the second crane into rotation with respect to the second rotation axis, in which the orientating unit for the first crane is independent from the orientating unit for the second crane.
- Due to such solution, the system is particularly flexible and adaptable to any condition of use.
- A further aspect of the invention provides for the first crane and the second crane to be associated with the platform in positions which are diametrically opposed with respect to the first rotation axis.
- Thereby, the distribution of the weights is optimized over the platform, and therefore over the support bearings of the platform, thus allowing a more homogeneous wear of the rotating components.
- Preferably, the first crane and the second crane may comprise respectively a first telescopic arm and a second telescopic arm.
- Thereby, the cranes have a relatively large radius of action while remaining highly compact.
- According to another aspect of the invention, the lifting system may comprise a cart supported by wheels to which the main frame is fixed.
- Due to such solution, the lifting system may be easily transported to bring it where it is required.
- According to a further aspect of the invention, the first rotation axis may be eccentric with respect to a vertical centreline plane of the cart containing the longitudinal axis of the cart itself.
- Thereby, by rotating the platform, both cranes may be positioned on one side of the cart, thus allowing both to align them to the longitudinal axis of the cart and to take advantage of the maximum radius of action available to both cranes.
- Another aspect of the invention provides for the lifting system to comprise a motor provided with wheels and associated with the main frame, in which the platform is interposed in a plan view between the motor and the cart.
