Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a mobile lifting platform according to the appended claims 1 to 14 and a method for erecting such a mobile lifting platform according to the appended claim 15.
  • axle jack is disadvantageous because he the Motor vehicle lifts on his body. However, especially in older vehicles can be precisely at these points by rust and weather conditions weak points, which is why it can not be ruled out by lifting with an axle jack a damage to the vehicle or the vehicle frame.
  • this object is achieved by providing a frame and at least three lifting elements, each having at least one platform and which are supported in the common frame for them or held by them, solved. At least two of these platforms are substantially parallel to each other, lie behind the third platform with respect to the direction of travel, and are substantially orthogonal to the latter.
  • the mobile lifting platform according to the invention thus has two rear platforms and a front platform with respect to the direction of passage.
  • the lifting platform according to the invention can be used for motor vehicles or trucks or trailers of very different wheelbases.
  • the parallel longitudinal arrangement of the rear platforms ensures that when parking the motor vehicle with the front axle on the front platform, depending on the wheelbase further forward or further behind the rear wheels of the motor vehicle come to rest on the rear platforms.
  • the platforms and with them the motor vehicle parked thereon are raised. Since this is an increase of the entire vehicle, the maximum lifting height is not limited by an inclination angle of the vehicle, but freely selectable depending on the performance of the lifting elements.
  • lifting elements which are able to lift the platforms and thus the motor vehicle up to eye level, ie about 1.60 m to 1.80 m. Of course, but larger lift heights are possible.
  • a substantially cubic container which preferably has a bottom, and side walls, a front-side front and a front-side rear wall and a roof, in particular, the frame be formed for the three platforms together with the associated lifting elements of parts of the container, for example, of a side wall and the bottom.
  • the remaining components of the container then form other parts of the mobile lift, such as their control, record the drives for the lifting elements, etc. or serve only as a cover during transport of the mobile lift.
  • this container is a standard 20-foot container. In this case, it is possible to load the container and thus the lift easily on a truck, a railroad car or even on a ship and transport it with the container freight to any location.
  • the rear lifting elements are arranged together with the rear platforms in a hinged side wall of the container.
  • the arrangement is advantageously to be chosen so that all platforms are substantially folded on a side wall in one plane.
  • the hinged side wall may also be only a limited part of the entire container wall.
  • a part of the opposite side wall or the entire side wall of the container can also be folded down or removed.
  • a passage or passage through the container so that from one side an entrance to the lift and possibly on the other side creates an exit. This enables a continuous testing process, which is particularly time-saving when testing multiple vehicles.
  • the roof of the container In order not to unnecessarily limit the lifting height of the lift by external influences, it makes sense to make the roof of the container so that it can be completely removed above the lift. This is possible, for example, by the divided construction of the roof, which preferably folds upwards. However, a constructive solution is conceivable in which the or the roof elements are at least partially pushed aside or can be completely removed.
  • the big advantage of this arrangement in a container with various folding or removable side and roof elements is the complete mobility of the lift.
  • Individual parts of the container such as the side wall in which the rear platforms are placed, receive dual functions.
  • this side wall serves on the one hand to protect the lift in the folded state, on the other hand, it is a functional element of the lift.
  • Another advantage of integrating the mobile lift in a container is the enclosed space created thereby. In this container space additional elements can be attached and thus created a mobile testing station.
  • the folding and unfolding or the removal of the side walls and / or the roof elements is preferably carried out with a mechanical mechanism. Particularly preferred here is a hydraulic actuation or the movement by means of electric motors.
  • the independent operation of the hinged elements has the great advantage that the entire container system is self-sufficient in this way.
  • a lift according to the invention or the entire testing station can be used alone at any location. In particular, when used by the police, for example on highway parking lots and restraints, this is a great advantage.
  • a lift according to the invention it is advantageous in a lift according to the invention to provide the front lifting element in the bottom of the container. Since the front platform connected to the front lifting element alone has to carry an entire axle load, this is particularly robust. This robust design is facilitated by the arrangement of the platform and the lifting element in the bottom of the container.
  • the lift according to the invention makes sense to equip them with additional elements and thus to a complete mobile test station for motor vehicles and / or trucks, trailers and accessories to upgrade.
  • the front lifting element has a joint play tester.
  • Another such additional element is for example a track measuring rod, which is preferably arranged on one of the rear platforms. It is also advantageous to arrange at least one brake tester in the frame between the platforms. It is also advantageous to arrange at least one chassis tester between the front and the rear platform.
  • the distance between the end of the front platform and the end of the rear platform with at least 3 m, in particular at least 4 m to choose. Particularly preferred is a distance of at least 5 m, especially a distance of at least 6 m.
  • the length of the rear platforms has a major influence on the wheelbase variability. This is preferably to be selected with at least 2 m, in particular with at least 3 m, particularly preferred with at least 4 m and with very particular preference with at least 5 m.
  • the extra long back platform design in addition to increased wheelbase variability, ensures that even vehicles with multiple rear axles can be lifted by a mobile lift according to the present invention.
  • the rear platforms are at least 0.4 m, preferably at least 0.5 m, particularly preferably at least 0.6 m wide.
  • the width of the rear platforms is important for the variability of the lift with respect to the tire width of the vehicles to be tested.
  • the sides of the rear platform are preferably provided with a guide, so that it is ensured when driving the motor vehicle that the tires are completely on the platform.
  • the distance between the two rear platforms and the width of the front platform should also be selected depending on the vehicles to be tested. So these two values should cover all common track grazes of motor vehicles.
  • the lift according to the invention may be useful to provide at least one Lichteinstellêt.
  • a container as a frame for the mobile lift, it makes sense to arrange the light adjustment on a second hinged side wall of the container.
  • the displaceable arrangement of the light adjusting device is useful to adjust all the headlights of the motor vehicle to be tested.
  • Another advantage is when the lift according to the invention additionally has an exhaust gas tester.
  • scissor lifts can be used as a lifting element for the individual platforms. These come by their relatively low weight and their robust mechanics the mobility requirement of the lift in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • Another possibility is the use of hydraulic elements as lifting elements. This advantageously requires the arrangement of a hydraulic system within the mobile lift.
  • up and down ramps can be provided. These are either part of the fold down side walls of the container and are pulled out of these side walls after folding down and stored or they represent additional, independent elements that are created after folding down the side walls.
  • at least the ramp already has at most the same width as the rear platforms. The provision of guides for the tires of the motor vehicle at the ramps is also useful. This ensures that the vehicle is already centered when retracting to the position required for the lift.
  • a control station for the operating personnel preferably as part of the container. Just the lifting and the lowering of the vehicle are dangerous operations for the operator.
  • the exclusive control of the lift from the helm can minimize the risk of injury.
  • the control station can be executed completely enclosed, which has the advantage that sensitive devices such as computers, printers, telephones, etc. are particularly protected when used in adverse weather conditions.
  • At least one platform but preferably all platforms have lighting elements that shine upwards from the platform.
  • a particularly simple embodiment of these light-emitting elements are fluorescent tubes or other bulbs, which are mounted laterally on the platforms. The bulbs illuminate the underbody when the vehicle is raised. Thus, the operator has in the visual inspection of the underbody of the motor vehicle with uniform illumination with reduced shadowing both hands free.
  • the platforms may also be advantageous if the platforms completely have a magnetic surface or at least a magnetic border.
  • small parts are often dismantled for a short time and must be stored. Even the dropping of very small parts can not be excluded when checking the subfloor.
  • the container and preferably the fold-down side walls have feet. These feet serve to align the entire container and the folded sidewalls. This is advantageous because in this way the container can be aligned even on uneven ground in a safe, substantially horizontal position. Irrelevant to the invention is whether the feet are subsequently attached to the container or the side walls or whether they are already part of the container or the side walls.
  • the feet are designed as telescopic feet, for example, with two movable foot elements. So the feet can be easily adapted individually to the condition of the ground.
  • the feet are controlled, for example, by the pneumatic or hydraulic system contained in the container, so that an automatic alignment can be done. It is particularly advantageous if, in addition, a measuring device is provided which measures the angle of inclination of the container and of the side elements and controls the alignment by the feet with these measured values.
  • Another object of the present invention is to use the lift according to the invention for lifting and checking the roadworthiness of motor vehicles and trucks. This use is particularly interesting for the TÜV in the periodic inspection, for the police in the vehicle inspection or for the regular review of large motor vehicle fleets such as car rental companies.
  • the above object is achieved by the features of claim 15.
  • the setup is done in several steps. After the container containing the lift has been delivered to the location of choice, it is placed there on a substantially flat surface. Next, the first and possibly after the second side wall is folded down. By folding up the roof, the container opens and the lift is ready for use. By attaching the side ramps, the vehicles to be tested can be retracted into the functional lift.
  • the motor vehicle is first moved onto the lift, so that the wheels of one axle are completely on the front platform and the remaining wheels left and right on the rear platforms. Next, the wheels of the motor vehicle are fixed on the platforms. By activating the lifting elements, the vehicle is raised to the desired height. In the raised position, the underbody of the vehicle can be controlled. By deactivating the lifting elements, the vehicle returns to the level position. After releasing the fixation, the motor vehicle can be driven off the lift.
  • test method can be supplemented by further steps. These steps are advantageously carried out with deactivated lifting elements, ie when the vehicle is lowered.
  • Another test step is the setting of the lights of the motor vehicle by means of a light adjusting device.
  • Another intermediate step is the checking of the braking power by means of a Bremsprüfauss.
  • Another intermediate step may be to check the chassis using a chassis tester.
  • Another possible step is the track inspection of the motor vehicle by means of a track gauge.
  • Another possible intermediate step is to check the joint play of the front axle.
  • the Fig. 1 and 2 The drawing shows an embodiment of a lifting platform 1 according to the invention in front or in rear view.
  • the lift 1 is in fully operational condition with already raised platforms 6 and 10, ie with activated lifting elements 4 and 8. For clarity, no vehicle is shown on the lift.
  • the lift 1 is housed in this embodiment in a cubic container 2 with a roof 16, a bottom 18, two side walls 12, 14, a front and a rear wall.

  • the rear platforms 10 are arranged. These are parallel to each other. Orthogonal to the rear platforms 10, the front platform 6 is arranged in the bottom 18 of the container 2. This is raised and lowered by the front lifting element 4.
  • the lifting elements 4 and 8 are in the embodiment according to the FIGS. 1 and 2 designed as scissor lifts.
  • the roof 16 of the container 2 has two roof elements, which in the operating state as in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown, are flipped up. The air space above the lift 1 is thus free of the lifting height limiting fittings.
  • ramps 28 are provided on the folded-down side walls 12 and 14.
  • a Lichteinstellêt 26 is additionally provided on the second folded down side wall 14. This is arranged in a frame which is movable over the second side wall 14 as a whole. The Lichteinstell réelle 26 is vertically displaceable in this frame. In this way, the light adjusting device 26 can be moved in front of each individual headlight of the retracted into the lift 1 motor vehicle.
  • brake testers 22 are arranged in the bottom 18 of the container 2 for both sides of the vehicle. These usually consist of rollers over which the vehicle tires can be driven. The vehicle tires are braked by the vehicle brake and over the resistance applied to the rollers, the braking force can be measured.
  • chassis tester 24 located in the bottom 18, between the platforms 6 and 10, there is a chassis tester 24. This is used to check the input and Ausfeder s the shock absorber of the motor vehicle. Both the brake test and the chassis test and the light adjustment in the embodiment according to the Fig. 1 and 2 when the vehicle is lowered.

  • the length b of the rear platforms 10 is crucial.
  • the dimensions a and b are in the embodiment according to the Fig. 1 and 2 limited by the dimensions of the container 2.
  • b is in any case to choose smaller than the height of the side wall 12 of the container. 2
  • the distance a must be smaller in any case than the sum of the height of the first side wall 12 and the width of the main frame 18 of the container 2.
  • the dimension d is in this case Adjust the maximum diameter of the tire contact surface on the front platform 6. Especially with heavy vehicles and low tire pressure is assumed here of a relatively large contact area.
  • the width c of the rear platforms 10 is to be adapted to the maximum tire width. In order to lift vehicles of different widths, the dimensions e and c should be selected accordingly.
  • the dimension e is preferably to be chosen in the largest possible width, which is limited by the space located in container 2. The greater the width c of the rear platforms 10, the greater the variability in track width.
  • the width c of the rear platform 10 can be sufficiently small. Too large dimensioning would also unnecessarily affect the free view of the underbody of the motor vehicle in the raised state.
