Abstract

Lift systems a re described which allow users such as those with disabilities or mobility impairment to gain access to the cab of heavy machinery. In one aspect, an assisted cab entry lift system for a heavy equipment vehicle includes : a user support for supporting a user; an attachment means configured for attachment to a heavy equipment vehicle and to support the user support; a vertical movement means configured to move the user support with the user in a desired vertical direction relative to the heavy equipment vehicle; and a horizontal movement means configured to move the user support with the user in a desired horizontal direction relative to the heavy equipment vehicle. Other means such as power screws may be used to move the support member.
