Low Profile Drop Table

摘要

A lifting apparatus having two rails spaced apart at a distance and two lifting mechanisms, each lifting mechanism supporting one of the two rails. A platform is disposed between the two rails such that movement of the lifting mechanisms causes the rails to displace relative to the platform. A base has the two lifting mechanisms connected thereto and the platform is connected to the base. The base moves horizontally along a floor. Further, the floor may be disposed in a pit and the travel of the rails between minimum and maximum rail heights may be greater than 62.5% of the depth of the pit. The minimum rail height may be less than 50% of the depth of the pit.

1. A lifting apparatus comprising:
two rails spaced apart at a distance; two lifting mechanisms, each lifting mechanism supporting one of the two rails; a platform disposed between said two rails such that movement of at least one of said lifting mechanisms causes at least one of said rails to displace relative to said platform; and a base, said two lifting mechanisms connected to said base and said platform connected to said base.
