A vehicle lift for stowing beneath the floor of a vehicle includes rails (83, 84) in which can move structure (11). A platform (27) is pivoted to the outer pivots (23a, 24a) of two parallelogram arrangements (20) whose inner pivots (23, 24) are with structure (11). A ram (34) is pivoted between the structure (11) and structure including plates (30, 31) pivoted at (32, 33) on axis (34) to the structure (11). The pivots (32, 33) are coaxial with pivots (23) and the ram is pivoted to plates (30, 31) at a location spaced from axis (34). The platform can be raised and lowered when the lift is not stowed. Arrangements are described in which the lift is stowed in an inclined position; in which the platform can form a step; in which the parallelograms are modified to alter the inclination of the platform. <IMAGE> |
