<p>A lift (10) for attachment to a vehicle comprises a base assembly (12) for attachment to the vehicle, a platform assembly (14) for receiving and raising/lowering a load, and a linkage assembly (16) connecting the base assembly (12) to the platform assembly (14) for moving the platform assembly between a stowed position and a deployed position. The platform assembly (14) comprises at least one platform leaf (22) and a cradle (24) for attaching the leaf to the linkage assembly. The cradle (24) is rotatable relative to the linkage assembly (16) about a first non-rotatable shaft (66) defining a first axis (A) and the platform leaf (22) comprises a second shaft (70) defining a second axis (B) perpendicular to the first axis (A). The leaf (22) is rotatable relative to the cradle (24) about the second axis (B). The lift (10) further comprises first gear means (68) secured to the first shaft (66) and in engagement with a second gear means (72) secured to the second shaft (70). Rotation of the cradle (24) about the first axis (A) causes rotation of the platform leaf (22) about the second axis (B).</p> |
